My father-in-law recommended this book very highly. I didn't borrow his because the pages were all falling out. I have been looking for over a month and found this book online the other day for $50!! This book is in EXCELLENT shape and I am very happy with the purchase. I received the book on Wed and I am almost finished reader. (hard to put down :)) What a great book this has turned out to be.
For the beginning bee-keeper this book is awesome!
Anyone have any other good recommendations? Preferrable on bee diseases, controlling mites, etc?
Thank you.
Joe
All of Taylor's books are great. I would republish it if it wasn't still in copyright...
None of Taylor's books mention mites. My guess is he would be treatment free today as he was then...
:th_thumbsupup: on Taylor's books, great reading.

Philly Joe,
Michael Bush's The Practical Beekeeper is also a very good book for Beekeepers.

Get the hard back copy with all three in one book. The first one is for beginners, the second one intermediate and the third one is for experienced Beekeepers.

I second the recommendation for Michael Bush's book. I got the hardback one with all three volumes and have not been sorry. Excellent resource.
...and as MB, himself, often says, you can read the same stuff on his website. ;)

Yes but it is not put together real nice like it is in the book.
Jim
I split it into three volumes so people on a budget could try the first one and decide if they want more and then progress. As mentioned it's all what is on my website for free but reorginized into a book.
...and a very good compilation of information, too, Michael!!! Whether it's paperback, hardback, or electronic(?)back!!! ;) A great resource!
Ed
One cannot have too many book while learning... Thx.
It looks like the hardback for me! I have my 40th Birthday coming up so this book is on top of the list :).
