The Beekeeping Year - Paperback

by Lynfa Davies (Author), Simon John Paterson (Designed by)

Beekeeping is a fascinating and rewarding hobby with plenty to learn but for new beekeepers, piecing it all together can be a little daunting. In this book, Lynfa Davies, NDB, walks you through the beekeeping year month by month. She outlines what to expect each month and the key tasks that are required with the aim of keeping you one step ahead of your bees.

Aimed at beginners and those in the first couple of years of their beekeeping, this book will help you understand what your bees are doing throughout the year and what you need to do to manage them. From inspections through to feeding and disease management, this guide will hopefully give you the confidence to look after your bees well and keep them healthy, and they may even reward you with some honey.

Lynfa has kept bees with her husband, Rob, since 2005. During this time she has held a variety of roles with the Welsh Beekeepers' Association (WBKA) including General Secretary and Exam Secretary. She is currently a member of the Learning & Development Committee where she inputs into the development and delivery of courses and workshops for beekeepers across Wales.
