If you have ever thought about keeping bees, or simply want to know more
about them and how you can help these industrious and charming
creatures, then this book is a must! Designed to be a first step, it
explains the life of the honeybee and the work of the beekeeper, both in
a rural and an urban situation. Anyone with time and enthusiasm can
become a beekeeper. The rest of us can help by planting bee-friendly
plants in our gardens, allotments and window boxes. Author Gerard Baker
is a highly experienced beekeeper. In his role as Food Historian, Gerard
has also become a familiar figure on the popular BBC TV series 'Mums
know Best' with the Hairy Bikers.
