Summary: The New Incomplete Guide to Beekeeping
Comment: I have about 17 books on beekeeping related topics and I found this one to be the most lack luster of them all. Like the other reviewer said it touches briefly on all aspects of beekeeping but does not go into any real depth. I found its section on How To Get Started On Beekeeping pathetic. On installing a package of bees it offers six black and white photographs and a few lines of text underneath each picture to describe what is going on. That?s it!!. It does not mention anything about what to feed them once they are installed, your first inspection and what to look for, or a description of the equipment you will need to start your first hive. I think most beginners are very concerned about starting the process correctly and more attention should have been placed on the first few weeks of establishing a hive. Dr. Morse did not even go into the topic of establishing a colony with a nuc. Dr. Morse is a very well known and respected professor at Cornell University who I might call one of the founding fathers of modern beekeeping. Unfortunately, he wrote a crappy book that offers little to the new beekeeper. Two books I would recommend are John Vivian's "Keeping Bees". Although it is slightly dated when it comes to managing mites the rest of the book is invaluable as a source of information. Richard Bonney's two books on beekeeping are also very good.

Summary: incomplete guide to beekeeping
Comment: this is a good book for someone interested in beekeeping, but offers little to someone who is actually getting started in beekeeping. It contains an introduction to nearly every important topic in beekeeping, but is not in depth enough to help anyone who has bees and has questions about them.
