Author Biography

Roger Patterson started keeping bees in 1963 as a 15-year-old, soon after the hard winter of 1962/3. He became a committee member of his local Beekeepers' Association (BKA) at the age of 17, chairman at 23 and county chairman at 25. At one stage he kept 130 colonies. He is a practical beekeeper, concentrating on the basics and keeping things simple. He manages the local BKA apiary where there are usually 20-25 colonies for instruction. He has been a demonstrator and lecturer for well over 35 years, and believes beekeeping should be fun.

Review

This new publication by Roger Patterson... really gives the basics for someone not knowing where or how to start beekeeping... We must remember that bees' two main objectives during the active season are pro-creation and the collection of enough stores to survive the winter. This book certainly does justice to help the new beekeeper understand these two objectives. - Bee Craft Magazine
