Praise:
[Hive Tour] is excellently illustrated with photos by the two authors and even without the copy, would be a great book to explore.
Bee Culture Magazine
Finding hive parts shows entrances, wax cells and comb, frames and bee space, feeders and more. And each of these has a fun fact to explore too…
There is no doubt that taking this book to some place with an observation hive would be a great learning experience, especially if you are accompanied by someone who is eager to learn more.
This beautifully photographed and clearly set out book is the perfect guide to investigating a hive. I shall be recommending this to the Science teachers in the school I work in. Creating this degree of familiarity with bees can only help with the critical work of saving them as a species.”
