The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beekeeping has all the information a begin­ning beekeeper needs to know to start a hive and keep it buzzing. Expert beekeepers Dean Stiglitz and Laurie Herboldsheimer, owners of Golden Rule Honey, take readers step by step through the entire process-from information on the inhabitants of a hive and how it works to collecting bees, keeping them healthy, raising a queen, harvesting honey and wax, and stor­ing hives for the off- season.

Note: We do not usually stock titles from the "Complete Idiot" series, but we have been told at NOFA conferences that these authors, based in Worcester, MA, are really great at teaching beekeeping. -- VisionWorks
