Why read it?
1 author picked The Queen Must Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are scores of beekeeping memoirs in print, many of them very engaging. But if I had to choose only one, there is something to be said for this little classic. The biological information is good, but the book rises above the average in the way Longwood conveys it - with charm, wit, and an obvious fondness for his chosen subjects.

From Thor's list on The best books about the world of bees (for adults).
