Together with its companion volume - Balanced Beekeeping I: Building a Top Bar Hive - this book will lead you gently into a fascinating relationship with the most engaging of nature's workers: the honeybee. The author draws on 15 years of experience with many types of hive in the both amateur and professional beekeeping contexts. You will want this book beside you for years to come!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A detailed and enjoyable read
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    My wife ordered this book, but I was the first to crack it open- and then I couldn't stop reading it. The details and insights into how bees live was very interesting and the advice on how to keep them in a balanced fashion was inspirational. We have our tbh out now trying to attract our own bees and have found others who keep bees to help give us hands on experience and more tips. This book was really the jumping point for me to want to help provide a place for bees to live in a balanced fashion. Thanks Phil!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly In-Depth, Descriptive Book
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Well, I'm sold. This was an incredible read. It's chock full of information on both how bees function in their natural state, as well as very specific and helpful instructions on top bar hive management for a variety of different purposes. It's funny, though, information on taking honey is very, very briefly glossed over. His purpose is very clearly the well-beeing (see what I did there?) of the bees, with honey/wax for people as a happy byproduct, not the other way around. Great read. He's got me as a convert to balanced beekeeping.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My "Go-To Bee Bible" !!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    If you want to know about top bar beekeeping this is your beekeeping "bible". Mr Chandler covers everything from a to z. He explains the who, what, where,when & why on whats happening with your bees, and what you, as a beekeeper, should or should not do, in response. He explains everything as to what could go right and what could possibly go wrong... excellent book... highly recommend!!!

    I just wanted to know how to build and then manage a top bar hive. Too much other filler about bees and opinions for my taste.

    90% filosofia, 10% consigli pratici. Definitivamente le informazioni nel libro non bastano per gestire il top bar. Altrettanto non c'è neanche una foto utile.
