Nice practice to find queens. Lots of pictures. Irritating author. Interspersed with actual information about queen bees are anecdotal stories of Ms. kearney’s bee keeping adventures. A bit silly. A Christmas present from David. He thought it a little silly too, but wrote on the wrapping paper, a queen book for a queen. He can be sweet.

A fun book of colour photos of 48 frames of bees with unmarked queens, increasingly difficult to find as the pages progress. Became an instant best seller. Simple text about lifecycle of colony, queen, honey, good colour photos. Author Kearney also has an online blog, on Instagram as girlnextdoorhoney.
