    Beekeeping specialist Sanford (entomology and nematology, U. of Florida) presents a practical resource for novice beekeepers, based on two previous works by the late Richard E. Bonney, Hive Management (1990) and Beekeeping: A Practical Guide (1993). Sanford's edition retains, as much as possible, Bonney's style and content, while providing updated information apiculturists must know to be successful in the current beekeeping environment. Coverage includes beginning beekeeping, origin and history of beekeeping, a bee's life, choosing the hive location, equipment, obtaining the bees, managing honeybee colonies, taking the crop, pollination, and diseases and pests. The text includes a glossary of terms, a model beekeeping ordinance, a sample pollination contract, and a list of U.S. beekeeping supply houses, print and online resources, and beekeeping organizations and associations.

    A detailed description of a bee's life, the importance of hive location, the illustrated anatomy of a beehive, colony management, crop harvest, diseases and pests of honeybees, plus basic tips for beginners make for engrossing reading throughout Sanford and Bonney's thorough guide. Whether beginners or longtime enthusiasts, readers will learn plenty of useful information from the section-by-section, step-by-step approach to this increasingly popular endeavor. The authors also offer an engaging section on the origin and history of beekeeping, complete with bee family tree and honeybee evolution. Along the way, readers will find reasonable warnings and possible solutions to the less-desirable components of beekeeping, ranging from heat to the unnerving section on multiple bee stings requiring renal dialysis, but the joy of hive management predominates. Line illustrations throughout and a glossary, resources, index, and pollination contract add to this in-depth overview. Copyright 2010 Booklist Reviews.
