Great information, easy to understand, and entertaining to read
I'm a first time beekeeper. I have taken classes and I have reference materials. This book is by far the best resource.
I would definitely recommend classes but when it comes to books I'd say choose this one. It is easy to find the information you need, the information is spot on, and it's even entertaining to read!
On the news one night they showed a police officer who is a beekeeper vacuuming up a swarm that had formed in a public place. No hat, no veil, no gloves, no suit, no smoker, no problem with bees being aggressive and stinging. So a couple of days later I tried just checking my hives for a few minutes without using the smoker. They hadn't been too bad when I checked them previous times with the smoker going. Guess what? I have have never seen such an angry bunch of bees! I have a one piece bee suit and one managed to get inside my hood. I got stung on my ankle (that one became infected and I had to be prescribed antibiotics 10 days later). They followed me to the house, that's never happened before or since. Four hours after that check they were still willing to come up to the house to sting (they chased my husband who had not been present for the morning check, and when I went out moments later I got stung three times on the back of my left shoulder). That too had never happened before, nor since, while using the smoker. I think it was 2 days later that I received this book and read the writer's comment about how not using a smoker would be a mistake you'd only make once. I could agree with the him whole-heartedly! He gives very good instruction on how to use the smoker too. I have no idea how that cop did what he did, it must be some kind of magic LOL.
When I wondered if my bees were thinking of swarming this book explained what bearding in hot weather was.
I am so glad I bought this, and I would recommend it to anyone who is starting out and the best book to have on hand for answers to questions.

Cat that can't have dry food
I have a cat who can't have dry food or he will develop a blockage. That means no treats that are like dry food either.
These are freeze dried meat so I thought it would do no harm to try them. He doesn't cate for the bison or lamb ones, but he loves the chicken liver and salmon ones. He gets one every day and has done so for months and had no blockage.
I recommend these highly for any cat, but they are a bit pricey. You go get a good sized bag of them, and if you have a cat who blocks on dry food this is great to use as a treat if you give such to your cat.

Great conditioner
I love this stuff. A little goes a long way so a bottle lasts a good while. It does a great job of making it possible to get a comb through my hair.
