Michael Bush's in-depth series, The Practical Beekeeper, fully explains how to keep bees in a natural and practical system, not requiring treatments for pests and diseases and using only minimal interventions, using simple, practical beekeeping methods.

Bush explains how to reduce the beekeeper's work, and maximize the success of bees by allowing them to do what they do best. The techniques presented are streamlined through decades of experimentation, adjustments, and simplification.

The content was written and refined by responding to questions on bee forums over. years. It is specifically tailored to the questions that beekeepers, new and experienced, have.
