Review: Glossary - I highly recommend this book for beginners, so much so that I purchased a second copy and shipped it to my dad. Unlike the other books I have seen this one comes with a glossary of the terms so you can read and understand what she is talking about without any research of basic terminology. It is already included for you! If you are interested in learning about beekeeping and don't know where to start here is the best, simplest read I have seen. It gives a chapter on how to find local organizations and apps to help you know what is appropriate for your climate. What sites to look up local laws to keep you on the right side of the law and so much information that helped me figure out where to start and improvements to make. Wish I had found this book the 1st time I tried beekeeping. Long story short it was a huge expensive failure that can only be chalked up to not doing enough research prior to buying and setting up. Lesson learned. This book walks you through step by step instructions and I feel better prepared for the next time I try to set up some hives. Review: Informative book - Informative, and easy to read, with good sixed text. Covers everything that we needed. This was fun to read with many color pictures. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #61,498 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Animal Husbandry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,670 Reviews | ## Images ![Beekeeping for Beginners: How To Raise Your First Bee Colonies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NwZ5EgvCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glossary *by R***1 on December 7, 2022* I highly recommend this book for beginners, so much so that I purchased a second copy and shipped it to my dad.

Covers everything that we needed. This was fun to read with many color pictures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book Truly Focuses On What Beginner Beekeepers NEED *by L***N on February 16, 2022* I bought this book and The Beekeeper’s Handbook (fifth ed.) In my opinion these two books are enough to get you started. But I’m a NEWBIE BEEKEEPER so my opinion doesn’t REALLY count for much. The book focuses on how to raise your first colonies. The requirements, pit falls and Seasonal Maintenance. (Did YOU know that you can’t just pop bees into a wooden box and come back in six months expecting clean perfect honey and healthy bees? Did YOU know that if you set them up and walk away they will die without regulars feeding and maintenance?) yeah…me too…I watched all the same YouTube videos before buying my bees! But this book fills in the little naggy details that you REALLY NEED TO KNOW in order to have success and not get discouraged by finding a pile of dead bees. This addresses predators. If you live rural like I do you know that neighboring farms offer a plethora of naughty dogs that will come and bust up your hives and eat all the honey. We all know about the Varroa Mites an Small Hive Beetles…we bought the traps and the other stuff we will need….but what about the LARGE PESTS?! Here the book could have spent a few moments reminding us all that Deer, Bear, Dogs, Raccoons, skunks, squirrels, Coyote, HUMANS Large Birds of Prey and Mountain Lions are all potential predators that endanger your bee hives, bees and honey. These are PRACTICAL concerns (that can mostly bee solved by buying a $25.00 welded 16’ long Cattle Panel and wiring the ends together to form an 8’ circle of protection around your hive. It can simply be pushed on it’s side when you need into the hive and the bees won’t even notice it! (That’s MY appendix to this already GREAT book!) This book is VERY basic. It is TRULY the first book a beginner with NO Knowledge of bees and beekeeping SHOULD START WITH! Never Underestimate the Stupidity of YOURSELF when rushing in to a project that you have never tried before! You will miss stuff. IMPORTANT STUFF! For everything else up the BeeKeepers Handbook (the Bible of Beekeeping really) an look for the Barefoot Beekeepers seminal work for beeginners..”The Barefoot Beekeeper”. Well, that’s it..quit reading and hit the ‘Buy Now’ button if you are serious about beekeeping for the first time….or you just want a cheap education on why you shouldn’t. This book will answer all the most basic questions of every beginner starting with empty boxes and a mind filled with wonder. ## Frequently Bought Together - Beekeeping for Beginners: How To Raise Your First Bee Colonies - The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses - Beekeeping for Beginners: A Complete Guide to Building Your Own Beehive, Colony Management, Honey Harvesting, and Turning Your Passion into Profit | + BONUS: Hive Inspection Checklist --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/129770245-beekeeping-for-beginners-how-to-raise-your-first-bee-colonies](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/129770245-beekeeping-for-beginners-how-to-raise-your-first-bee-colonies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
