Bees & Beekeeping

book suggestions for kids

17 years ago

My neighbor's grandson comes over to visit and help with the bees when he comes up for a visit. His parents have now agreed to let him have a hive in their yard. Can anyone recomend a good book suitable for a 12 year old beginning beekeeper. He won't be close enough to me to call for help all the time.

I will find a beekeepers association close to him. Hopfully someone there will take him under their wing.

Thanks!

I understand that 12 year old is very young, but not a baby.
He can choose in this nice virtual lybrary. He can discover, enjoy, live and love, step by step, the beginning of beekeeping with Langstroth or anothers "Grandes pro-men".

Here is a link that might be useful: virtual beekeeping library
