Ron Brown O.B.E. has been keeping bees in Britain and in Africa for
forty years. Apart from Beeswax, he is the author of Beekeeping, a
seasonal guide; Honey Bees - a guide to management and 1000 years of
Devon Beekeeping. His last book All around the Compass is an account of
his wartime experience in Coastal Command. This book was originally a
series of articles in the monthly Devon journal Beekeeping, but they
have been enlarged and expanded for this book. It should appeal to
beekeeping historians, journalists, biologists and book collectors as
well as all beekeepers with an investigative mind who will find many
answers to their queries in these pages.
