The Australian Beekeeping Manual
Is aimed at both the novice and experienced beekeeper in Australia and explains in detail the steps required to manage colonies of bees.
Supported by over 350 photographs and drawings, each action to be performed is explained in detail with photographs showing the steps as well as the final result.
