Today, more than ever, we are aware of how much bees are an integral part of our environment, in their role as a primary pollinator. They are increasingly threatened and we fail to attend to their wellbeing at our peril. However, by keeping your own honeybees you can contribute to their survival as well as ensuring a constant supply of tasty, nutritious honey.

This handy guide is packed with practical and professional advice, telling you all you need to know about this richly rewarding hobby. Find out everything from choosing a breed and positioning of your hive to maintaining a healthy colony at all times of year. You can also learn about extracting honey and other products such as royal jelly and propolis, and how to prevent and control bee diseases.
