DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to beeguy. Pretty comprehensive for a "field guide" I think it's a good one to carry in the truck.. Very informative and helpful I really liked the format. The book is easy to use and look up specific questions. It is a little confusing because it is British and some of the language is difficult to understand. Will find it very helpful, I am sure, as I am a new bee keeper.. "Five Stars" according to Griff. Best field guide I've found, very informative
