Review: History Repeats Itself. - Many years ago, pre-Internet, the best I could get as far as a book about bee keeping was a dog-eared between-the-Wars book which did little more than put me off. Now, what with 'The Good Life' being a reality so many more families want to not only recapture in spirit, but also do it for themselves, bee keeping has once again become a reality for everyone. Published in 2007, this book is bang up to date and excellent in telling you everything you need to know about bees, keeping them and harvesting their honey; and how to avoid being stung, and if you are, how to get rid of the stinger quickly before it does too much damage. Yes, a spledid book in every aspect, and although I believe every word it says, I may just venture into reading a couple more editions before I, possibly, take the plunge? But hey, if Grandad kept bees here 60 years ago, why not give it another shot for nostalgia's sake? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 268,780 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 44 in Beekeeping 113 in Farm & Working Animals 189 in Insects (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (229) | | Dimensions | 12.07 x 1.78 x 17.78 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1909881988 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1909881983 | | Item weight | 191 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | 9 Mar. 2017 | | Publisher | National Trust Books | ## Images ![Beekeeping: Inspiration and Practical Advice for Beginners (Smallholding) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81floAm+eWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Comprehensive Guide for Aspiring Beekeepers *by C***Y on 18 November 2024* Andrew Davies’ Beekeeping: Inspiration and Practical Advice for Would-be Smallholders is an excellent resource for anyone interested in starting their beekeeping journey.

I went on a day beginners course which really helped. This book is a good introoduction for these courses. The other books just seemd too long. When you want to "scope" something you don't need a compendium, just an idea of what's involved to see whether it's worth exploring further. Great price for good value book. Recommend doing day course or attending local bee keeping meeting as well before you press on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51504455-beekeeping-inspiration-and-practical-advice-for-beginners-smallholding](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51504455-beekeeping-inspiration-and-practical-advice-for-beginners-smallholding) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
