own right. In this section we aim to recommend specific books of interest
to African beekeeping. This section will be expanded over time to include
other useful publications/videos/CDs/DVDs etc.

This book is by Richard Jones, Director of the International
Bee Research Association. The book covers different types of hives
from traditional, top bar and frame hives. The book is well illustrated
with good photographs and useful drawings including how to make
a Kenya Top Bar Hive. |
Bees and trees go together in Africa. Serious beekeepers will want to understand
their bee forage plants. This book is not specifically aimed at
beekeepers but will help the beginner identify trees in their area.
The book is well illustrated with color photos and written in an
easy to follow manner. |
This book is written with a southern
African perspective. It includes frame hive beekeeping as well as
top bar hives. The book deals with such African beekeeping issues
as the honey badger. The book also covers Queen rearing, bee plants,
hive management and much more. In general a very useful book and
well recommended. |
General Beekeeping Books:
There is a wealth of beekeeping information available for
purchase from Amazon.com. Although many books focus on American or European
beekeeping with European bees there is much to be learned from the experiences
of other beekeepers around the world. Click the links below to find out
