Books and other media for Beekeepers

For new and experienced beekeepers, books and other media are valuable sources of information. The knowledge about bees and beekeeping is the result of an ongoing learning exercise.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to invite a bee colony for a discussion to find out more about their secrets, how they are doing, why they are doing what they do, their way of life, point of view, what bothers them and what makes them happy?

We can only observe, research, conclude and speculate - and whatever is written about bees and beekeeping is based on what we humans think - none of it has ever been audited or approved by bees.

The more books we read about bees, the more likely is what we understand about bees and beekeeping is also right from the bees' perspective.
