As a teaching tool, these sections will be invaluable.\u003cbr\u003e•Not a single page does not have an explanatory photo or three, along with a chart of diagram to further explain the information included.\u003cbr\u003e•There is a glossary to die for, all 30 pages of it, followed by a very through index.\u003cbr\u003e•This is hefty price for a book. However, you are really getting at least two very informative books here. And I ask carefully, what did that package of bees cost you this spring? Can you afford to lose it this next winter? Compare and contrast – saving even one package pays for this book. What is the value of your whole apiary? This book should stay on the dashboard of every beekeeper’s truck.
