A unique book detailing many of the practical jobs that beekeepers have to do that tend to be omitted or inadequately described in the standard beekeeping texts. The author is an enthusiastic and skilled beekeeper, and this book is full of useful tips. Here are just some of the practical projects described in this book - how to: make cardboard boxes into honey jar carriers, make a slot scraper, nail frames correctly, make equipment to wire frames, tidy up used frames, make and use 'semi foundation' (wax sheet embossed on one side only), make a foundation press, prepare fuel for a smoker, remove old combs, keep hive records, make a mouse guard, prepare honey for show, make a warming cabinet, filter beeswax, made mead. A novel text that many beekeepers will appreciate and enjoy.
