Her tone/style was off-puttingly irritating.
This book's quirky title gives one the idea that this is not your usual beekeeping manual. This small book is funny, informative, filled with bits of bee lore (did you know honeybees have been used to find land mines?) and just a good read.
I am a beekeeper and when I first picked up this book I was not impressed. Once I started to read it...I was hooked. Beekeeper or not try it out!

This sweet little book is part bug entymology, part how to be an apiarist, part interesting folklore, part recipes and part whimsey. It is a lovely book for gardeners, environmentalists, animal and bird lovers and people who generally appreciate the natural world. If you are thinking of becoming an apiarist there is even a short quiz for you to take to see if you would be a likely candidate for beekeeping.
Ms Brackney is a writer and an organic gardner and fell into beekeeping because she could not have any chickens where she lived. It is clearly a happy circumstance for both the writer and the reader. Ms Brackney introduces us to the beekeeping world with humor and stories and a great sense for how the natural bee world works. She even writes a small part about how to make a bee beard. I highly recommend this book!… (més)
