Book excerpt: An Illustrated Glossary of Honey Bee and Beekeeping Terminology by Sue Remenyi is an invaluable reference book for all beekeepers. As with any activity there is always a significant amount of terminology and jargon to get to grips with and this glossary brings together the terminology a beekeeper needs. In addition, more advanced aspects of beekeeping such as the anatomy and biology of the honey bee as well as pests, diseases and treatments, the development and behaviour of honey bees, honey and honey production are addressed. With more than 800 definitions and 200+ illustrations, this pocket-sized book is a useful reference for all beekeepers. Anyone studying for the British Beekeepers Association's module exams will find this book invaluable. Drawings and photographs have been used wherever possible to illustrate the descriptions.
