Repetitive, but good summary for the beginner.

The intro and first section are almost identical word for word. Otherwise it's comprehensive and a good resource for the beginner.

Simple and informative

In depth without making it sound complicated. Starts off repeating the same information during the 2 short, first sections; but then improves greatly.

very informative and easy to follow

I have read it a couple times now and plan to read it a couple more in preparation of my first experience. Although, I know I will be looking up pictures and graphics online.

Loved it!

Very good information and presented in a way that is easy to understand. Complete instructions from buying or building a hive to making lotions with the Bee's wax.

Very basic without any depth.

Very rapidly read leaving you with little information on why you do some of the steps in beekeeping. Also very pro medication of your bees and little to no debate as to why.
