Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"The real masterwork that Sue Hubbell has created is her life," David Quammen wrote in the New York Times. This book is, like its author, a unique achievement. Weaving a vivid portrait of her own life and her bees' lives through the seasons, Hubbell writes "about bees to be sure, but also about other things: the important difference between loneliness and solitude . . . the accommodating of oneself to nature" (Philadelphia Inquirer).



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
For a beginner beekeeper, this book contained all the info I need to start this hobby. Moreover, it's not presented in a textbook fashion but from a person's perspective who loves working with bees. If you want to learn how to care for your bees and deal with the many problems the hive face during all four seasons, this is a must for your library.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Book of Bees
Many good, well-written books about bees, beekeeping, history of bees, etc. Put this one in top three 'gotta haves'; instructs not only about honeybees but about their world and the one we (humans) have created for them. Amazing little creatures.
Also solid 'how to' information for keepers of bees.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sue's classic is still good!
A great basic book for newbie's and fun too. Sue knows her bees, and clearly shares with you what she knows. She will tell you all about her farm, her family, their life, and of course about beekeeping. She has over 100 hives and can show you how to esp. a great commerical enterprise if you are new to beekeeping and want to go big right away.

If you are looking to start beekeeping as as small enterprise, try The Complete Book Of Beekeeping.

Enjoy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very pleasant visit with the bees
This is a book about Sue Hubbell and her relationship with her bees in the pleasant surroundings of the Ozarks. It is not a book on 'how to keep bees' and is not intended as such. It is for those of us who love all things in nature and want to read about one person's experience with making a living with bees. As a beekeeper in Massachusetts, many of her experiences and techniques would not work for me, but that is OK. I love her beautiful writing style and humor. I enjoyed this book very much.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - informative story about a beekeeper's year
This is not strictly a how-to about beekeeping. There are other fine books that will provide that if you need it (Backyard Beekeeper comes to mind). However, I found Sue Hubbell's book to be a great companion to the how-to. It reads much more like a story recounting a year in the life of a commercial beekeeper.

Not only did I find great advice from someone who has worked with bees for many years and understands their nature as well as any human could. But I also enjoyed learning about ... Read More
