I recently found this book in the county library.  I was really impressed,
too!  It is full of wonderful color photos, and is written very well.  It
is a great introductory overview of bee biology and apiculture, for anyone,
really. The photos are very sharp, and they alone would serve well when
giving beekeeping talks to small groups, such as grade school classes or
gardening clubs.
 
I came across a very good book that I would like to recommend to
>everyone.  *A BeeKeepers' Year*, By Sylvia A. Johnson, ISBN 0-316-46745-6
>is an informative book geared toward younger folks (32 pages)  that goes
>through a year in the bee yard and explains each step.  There are loads
>of GREAT pictures (close-ups of bees, swarms, supering, extracting etc).
>This book would also be great for adults who know nothing about bees
>because it gives details of beekeeping practices in an easy-to-read form.
> It was a little above my 4 year old, but he loved the pictures!
