    • Great book for novice native bee keepers

      For the person starting out keeping native bees I think this book is a must. I am a novice and the way this book was written, accompanied with quality color photos, makes it very easy to follow and understand. Well worth the money asked.

    • Informative and readable

      Book was terrific very informative and interesting reading. Very prompt service. For my use it would have been better if I had realised that stingless bees are not found in Victoria.
