Feedback about the book.
I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I enjoyed your book. I learned SO MUCH!! I have bookmarked a few things I will be trying next year like catching swarms and creating splits. Thank you for the great information! From Texas
Exactly as advertised, very precise & to the
point, recommended fills beekeeping voids. From Tennessee
Just wanted to send a note of appreciation regarding the 4 frame nuc I purchased earlier this spring. My hope was to make a split and raised my own queen. SUCCESS! By following your instructions in the book, Raising Honeybees Without Chemicals, I was overjoyed to see that queen cell and subsequent larvae.
Thank you for the advice and encouragement.
Sincerely
A Montana Beekeeper
NICE BOOK!
BEAUTIFUL BOOK! I HAVE MANY BEEKEEPING BOOKS AND NONE OF THEM TALK ABOUT IT FROM THE ANGLE OF DOING IT NATURALLY. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT OUT. THANK YOU!
AMAZING INFORMATION
I HAVE BEEN A BEEKEEPER FOR FOUR YEARS AND STRUGGLE WITH MANY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THIS BOOK. FOR INSTANCE, WHY THE BEES SEEM TO ENTER THE WRONG HIVE WHEN WE HAVE THEM LAID OUT SIDE BY SIDE IN THE LOCATION. USING ESSENTIAL OILS VERSUS CHEMICALS IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE WHY USE CHEMICALS WHEN THEY ARE THE THINGS KILLING THEM. THE BOX SIZES WERE GREAT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TELLING MY HUSBAND THAT THE SMALLER ONES WOULD BE BETTER BECAUSE THE 10 FRAMES GET HEAVY AND HARD FOR ME TO MOVE. ANYWAY I COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET THE BOOK FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE THERE IS VALUABLE INFORMATION.
