HIVE MANAGEMENT - A SEASONAL GUIDE FOR BEEKEEPERS

A beekeeper for over 13 years, author Richard E. Bonney owns Charlemont Apiaries in Charlemont, Massachusetts. He has authored two books, Hive Management and Beekeeping, which reviewers such as The Speedy Bee have given much praise: "Delightfully readable...full of answers...written in a refreshing and authoritative way that demonstrates the depth of the author's experience... [Bonney provides] the kind of information one needs to understand beekeeping." The Library Journal has also complimented the book: "This useful book is crammed with helpful hints... [Bonney] discusses the 'hows' and, most important, the 'whys' of effective hive management."
