This practical guide to beekeeping as a hobby or home business is written in a conversational tone by a veteran of South African beekeeping. It is filled with anecdotal and personal observations of Peter Clark of Highlands Honey in Springs, which prove the value of experience over theory.

This Second Edition of the Tales of an African Beekeeper is a compilation of articles written by Peter Clark for the 'Smallholder' magazine and extracts from his comprehensive course material. It consists of thirty four chapters of detailed insights in 170 pages.

Peter is an active member of the Eastern Highveld Beekeepers Association, and runs a successful course in beekeeping several times a year.
