A Year With Honeybees
This video has proven to be popular available
on either VHS tape or DVD. We have sold 41 of them. It follows
beekeeper Dick Blake through an entire production season. It starts
with spring feeding and ends with the barrels of honey being loaded
on the truck. There is good information here for beekeepers of
every level. Available form the Iowa Honey Producers for $20.
That includes shipping within Iowa. It may be slightly higher
elsewhere. Make checks payable to the Iowa Honey Producers.
