This Week in Beebooks
We catch up with Jerry Burbidge from Northern Bee Books about a great bee book of the week.
A book of honey by Eva Crane
Upon her death in 2007, the New York Times acknowledged that Eva Crane wrote some of the most important books on bees and apiculture. A Book of Honey is one of her seminal works and must be on the shelves of anyone who is serious about understanding honey.
Not only does it describe how and why bees make honey, but she also describes in detail the constituents and characteristics of honey. There is a chapter on the uses of honey in the kitchen as well as mead-making, medical remedies and cosmetics.
This book is also available from Amazon HERE

- The constant battle to keep the hives free from the varroa mite which feed off the bees and cause nasty things like deformed wing and paralysis…Pat Mawby
- I’m yet to get my first hive (aiming for next spring now). I suppose one of my potential problems is my wife thinks she is allergic to bees. If this ends up being the case I may have to do my keeping at a location other than my backyard, which will blow my buzz…Fil
- How do I find the queen…Colin Lyne
