Brother Adam- In Search of the Best Strains of Bees: And the Results of the Evaluations of the Crosses and Races

An excellent narrative by Brother Adams describing his trips around Europe and North Africa in search of different strains of honey bees.. A travelogue seen through the eye of a master beekeeper giving fascinating insights into the various strains of bees and forage available in different countries.Wonderful descriptions and pictures (poor quality B&W alas, but sufficient for purpose) of the local methods used for keeping bees and the problems (pests and predators) they face in each country.A remarkable book. My only downside would be that it can be a bit tedious in places, but there is no other book (that I'm aware of) that come close to matching this for it's breadth and descriptions of the various strains of Honey bees and their good and bad qualities that covers so many countries.

all good

Good book
