Package Essentials | Lawrence John Connor | Book

An all-new book on the use and management of package bees.

Package bees and nucleus colonies are an alternative to those rare life-changing moments when a swarm unexpectedly enters our lives. If we start with the purchase of a nucleus hive or a package of bees, our first beekeeping work will be easier to manage.

While not inexpensive, packages are a cost-effective method of obtaining colonies. So, if you are new to beekeeping, this book provides an overview of how package bees and queens
are produced, how to install them, and how to manage them until they are fully established in your apiary.

Soft cover, 132 pages.
