A Short History of the Honey Bee starts with the story of the honey bee -- why it is named Apis mellifera, how it has evolved from a solitary creature to one that travels in groups, why it stings, and how pollination really works.

This 2 DVD set is comprised of 34 detailed training videos that address practical aspects of elementary beekeeping. The video clips are short, 3-9 minutes in length, but provide concise information on the subject matter. The videos may be used chronologically or independently. Additionally, two slide presentations are provided as supplementary learning tools.
