Overview
This book is a simple recipe for beekeeping naturally. Rather than offer all possible choices I am offering a recipe based on what I would (and have) chosen to use. There are few combinations of equipment I have not used and this is what I arrived at after more than four decades of beekeeping. This is a simple list of things to buy, things to do that worked for me. It is not a book of a lot of options and explanations. It is also not a complete book on beekeeping, it is just what you need to know to avoid a lot of changes later and to get you started and through your first year.
