If you want to be a Beekeeper this is book No2 to listen to.
I've paid for quite a few Beekeeping books here and there is a lot of rubbish so it's really nice to come across a good informative book. If you are starting out then start with the Idiots Guide (seriously it's a brilliant start), then listen to this one. If you're outside the US you'll need to adapt eg for the Bee Keeping Association to join, but this is definitely worth a listen and learn.
