Honey and Pollen Flora of South-Eastern Australia by Doug Somerville (2020)
I, for one, have been waiting for a book like this for a long time. This quite large, hard cover book is a comprehensive guide for anyone seriously interested in planting any number of plants or trees for small areas up to a whole garden or farm for the benefit of honey-bees and other pollinating insects.
It is available through a number of sources and retails for $125. |

Backyard Bees by Doug Purdie (2014)
I just LOVE this well presented hardcover book. It is a fabulous beginners book but also for the slightly more experienced it's a really easy to read basic beekeeping book.
Learn how easy it is to keep happy, healthy bees, and how and when to harvest the liquid gold. |
The Beekeeper's Bible by Richard Jones & Sharon Sweeney-Lynch (2010)
This book is as much an ultimate guide to the practical essentials of beekeeping as it is a beautiful almanac to be read from cover to cover. Part history book, part handbook, and part cookbook, this illustrated tome covers every facet of the ancient hobby of beekeeping, from how to manage hives safely to harvesting one's own honey, and ideas for how to use honey and beeswax.
