Professional Beekeeping Starter Kit - Complete Bee Equipment Essentials for Beginners & Hobbyists (Beekeeping Suit, Smoker, Hive Tools) - Perfect for Backyard Beekeeping & Honey Harvesting

What a great book, that came along at the perfect time for me!Ed (the author) spoke at a meeting for the beekeeping club I below to this past spring. As an engineer, I really gravitate to Ed's "Keep it simple stupid" approach to building beekeeping equipment. No time wasted here on fancy joints that eat away your efficiency. Simple, straight forward instructions for building the basic hive parts and functional ancillary tools as well.My abilities as a woodworker could be described as intermediate, and I was able to quickly build several 5 frame nucleus hive bodies, nuc supers and covers, based the book. In the following weeks, I was able to crank out some medium hive bodies, bottom boards and inner covers.The author's "Super Jig" is a great tool to create repeatably, square boxes and is the heart of following his methods described in the book.Highly recommended for the beekeeper who wants to build his own equipment in an efficient and simple manner.
