Bee Hive to Beekeeper

Bee Hive to Beekeeper, the compelling companion volume to Bee Space to Bee Hive, has been researched in depth and written to fill the gap in easily accessible information about the development of beekeeping as we know it. This detail, provided in one publication, is a captivating read for all, not only for beekeepers.

It follows the introduction of bee strains to the UK and formation of important beekeeping organisations. Descriptions of significant areas of bee research into mating, parthenogenesis, bee behaviour, pheromones and swarming culminate in the final section of the book recognising many eminent beekeepers who have written the books we continue to refer to today.

Beekeepers studying Module 8 of the BBKA examinations will find this book, and Bee Space to Bee Hive specifically cover subjects listed in the appendix to this module.
