Bad Beekeeping, reviewed on Amazon.com Bad Beekeeping, reviewed on LibraryThingReview Funny, Interesting, Unusual August 2, 2009 Reviewer: ECBA Don't be mislead by this books goofy cover of a beekeeper fleeing a angry hive of bee. I was surprised to find funny, interesting and unusual information about beekeeping within its covers. The author has a great sense of humor. He talks about current and past beekeepers. For example he introduces us to Jim Powers and I quote " was a big beekeeper. He had about 30,000 hives of bees. He was one of the few beekeepers in the world who amassed a large fortune from bees. And he was the only person I ever saw wearing a bow tie at a beekeeper's meeting. It was polka-dotted." If you are tired of heavy scientific manuels take a reading vacation with this book.
