A Lifetime of Beekeeping Mistakes is written from the voice of experience rather than academic research, and is entirely practical, based very much on the right and wrong ways of doing things the author has experienced throughout his beekeeping career.
A Lifetime of Beekeeping Mistakes covers all the basics of managing successful hives from buying in bee stocks and equipment to record keeping, establishing and growing colonies. It considers the merits of different types of hive and provides clear advice on queens, drones, honey extraction, diseases and pests.


The book is written from the voice of experience rather than academic research, and is entirely practical, approachable, and based very much on the right and wrong ways of doing things the author has experienced throughout his beekeeping career.

For many years he taught beginners for Conwy Beekeeping Association and South Clwyd Beekeeping Association, and has run training courses on queen rearing.
