The bee book has been written and compiled by beekeepers who are also apiary officers of the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, Queensland. It draws on their personal experience and that of other beekeepers, as well as over 100 years of QDPI&F research and experience.

This practical, readable and comprehensive book contains detailed information on honey bees and on every aspect of responsible, successful beekeeping - whether as a hobby, a part-time occupation or a commercial operation. It also covers the special requirements of managing hives in Australia where, in contrast to cooler areas, bees often continue to breed and gather honey throughout winter.

This second edition also deals with palletisation and the small hive beetle, and provides an expanded list of agricultural chemicals, with information on their known toxicities to bees.
