A Beekeeper's Diary and Bee Club Basics 2nd Edition (2 books)
A Beekeeper’s Diary and Bee Club Basics are now available in 2nd editions with detailed indexes and even more checklists and handy guides.
A Beekeeper’s Diary, Self-Guide to Beekeeping 2nd Edition is a beginning beekeeping guide and work book rolled up into one paperback (and ebook) publication. The 310-page 8.5x11 inch book includes information on key pollinators including honey bees; beginning beekeeping equipment; bee biology; key beekeeping techniques and how to manage pests and diseases and more. If you decide not to keep bees there’s a chapter on what you can do to help and plant for bees.
This diary stands alone and supports beginning beekeeping classes covering the first 3 years of beekeeping. It is also optional for the Great Plains Master Beekeeping Beginning Class that was approved as my master’s project for master beekeeper. I have been using this diary in my beginning beekeeping classes since 2012. The diary guides beginning beekeepers in the myriad of decisions they will have to make to start keeping honey bees.
This book has been approved by Great Plains Master Beekeeping at University of Nebraska at Lincoln for scientifically-based best management beekeeping practices.
