BfD Store is now able to provide copies of the most recent edition of The Blue Book as Martin Johannsmeier's text has been popularly known since it was first published in 1973. It is written primarily for beekeepers in South Africa but is a useful reference for beekeepers throughout Africa as its almost 300 pages provide a great wealth of information on aspects of African apiculture. Practical beekeeping information focuses on the frame hive beekeeping practised in South Africa. Top-bar hives are covered while other African methods are mentioned very briefly. The text contains much useful detail about honey and beeswax harvesting and handling, and provides details not covered in other texts such as the poisoning of bees, crop pollination and beekeeping legislation.
