The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses

Due to a mix-up I got this book, as well as the Collins version of the same book, around the same time!As with the Collins book this version provides a great informative read, with lots of great information on the history of bees, the management and keeping of them, and the things you can/make with the products of the hives.It's only drawback - and why it's not 5 star - Americanisation!! The American spelling for words like colour (color) personally drives me nuts, and every time I come across one it stands out like a sore thumb! Also, if you are going to do any of the recipes you'll need to have a 'cup/measures' conversion table with you, because all the recipes use american measures (and on that score I think the Collins version also wins, since it gives various different conversions in the recipes, including the american ones!)
