Leiston and District Beekeepers’ Association in the UK share their knowledge in this well produced film that provides an interesting introduction to temperate-zone beekeeping. The film begins with a description of honey bees and the life cycle of the colony. A brief history of the development of the different types of frame hives is followed by information on the clothing and tools you will need, and the importance of a good apiary site and access to forage for the bees. Next there is explanation of what to expect during the season including dealing with swarms, parasites and diseases, preparing for winter and honey harvest and extraction.

Finally how honey and wax can be used to produce skin cream and oils, and the Association’s recommendations for grabbing the public’s attention at local shows. Excellent for beginners and for teaching.
