Review: Glossary - I highly recommend this book for beginners, so much so that I purchased a second copy and shipped it to my dad. Unlike the other books I have seen this one comes with a glossary of the terms so you can read and understand what she is talking about without any research of basic terminology. It is already included for you! If you are interested in learning about beekeeping and don't know where to start here is the best, simplest read I have seen. It gives a chapter on how to find local organizations and apps to help you know what is appropriate for your climate. What sites to look up local laws to keep you on the right side of the law and so much information that helped me figure out where to start and improvements to make. Wish I had found this book the 1st time I tried beekeeping. Long story short it was a huge expensive failure that can only be chalked up to not doing enough research prior to buying and setting up. Lesson learned. This book walks you through step by step instructions and I feel better prepared for the next time I try to set up some hives. Review: Apiary from A to Z - As a new apiary keeper this book has helped me immensely. From starters to those who've had appeared forever. There is always something great to learn. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,101 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Animal Husbandry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,661 Reviews | ## Images ![Beekeeping for Beginners: How To Raise Your First Bee Colonies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NwZ5EgvCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glossary *by R***1 on December 7, 2022* I highly recommend this book for beginners, so much so that I purchased a second copy and shipped it to my dad.
