Practical and inspiring, this is an indispensable handbook for city beekeeping.

Steve Benbow is at the heart of urban beekeeping. With zero experience, he built his first hive on his own tower-block rooftop. Today, he runs hives across London’s greatest landmarks.

Packed with tips and advice on how to start off, this diary of a beekeeping year tells you everything you need to know about keeping bees. It is also Steve’s hugely entertaining personal story of the glorious ups and downs of the city beekeeper’s life
