BEEKEEPING Simplified. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2010, Pages: 88
Beekeeping, unlike other agricultural enterprises does not require very high investment and intensive labour for routine management. Yet, beekeeping provides an avenue for production of nutritious honey and many other products and provision of several services. However, limited literature exists on tropical beekeeping and the available materials are written in lengthy prose formats, which discourage reading and hence learning. A lot of the details regarding honey bees is hardly known and understood by many potential beekeepers/Apiarists. “Beekeeping Simplified” comes in an easy to read format, with easy to understand facts and procedures, all presented in a question and answer format. This book goes to great lengths to explain how beekeeping can help to minimise poverty, enhance household incomes and transform communities. Emphasis is put on bee products and their uses to mankind. The book will be of valuable use to beekeepers, extension service workers, policy-makers and students of agriculture, forestry and agro-ecology at different levels of their careers.
