I agree!   A wonderfull book.  I have read it twice in two years of
beekeeping.  That's the kind of book it is.  It's not a textbook like The
Hive and the Honey Bee.  It's more like a journal.  She writes well.  Her
facination and enthusiasm are contagious.  Well, I'm off to the library to
borrow it again.....;)
