Going beyond beekeeping, you'll learn how to create a bee-friendly garden (or patio if you're limited on space), ways to develop habitats if you don't have space for a beehive, and why other species of bee are as important as honeybees, with a beautiful bee spotter's guide that will inspire you look a more closely.
