From the review in the international beekeeping magazine, The Beekeepers Quarterly, March 2015
"Over the last few years there has been an increase in interest in alternative beekeeping methods and several books have been published showing how bees can be managed in a more natural and sustainable way, with the beekeeper being encouraged to limit the number of times a colony is disrupted. Joe Bleasdale's new book is a simple and straightforward guide, ideal for both beginners to beekeeping and those new to wanting to manage their bees for the first time using top bar hives. Whilst there are many types of hives in which bees can be kept just using top bars, Joe concentrates on the Warre hive, this being composed of a series of boxes, smaller than conventional hives, which allows for the construction of eight combs in each box, and the Horizontal Hive which usually has enough room for twenty combs.
Before going into any management details, Joe gives the reader the main information which is needed as regards the natural history and development of the colony, and throughout the book there are listed typical management tasks which a beekeeper needs to carry out over the year, but in each case his advice and practical instructions are geared to top bar hives.
Joe gives a realistic appraisal of the differences between Warre and Horizontal hives, including the drawbacks inherent in each system. Beekeepers often have the idea that bees in top bar hives and sustainable beekeeping etc, mean that they can be more or less left alone to get on with things unaided. Joe firmly dispels this and shows that various interactions between the beekeeper and the colony are needed in order for honey to be harvested (the main goal of beekeeping) and to prevent the issue of swarms which can become a nuisance to neighbours.
A very, very important message in the book is that bees are able to deal with varroa if they are given the chance to do so. Indeed, Joe is against the use of chemicals in bee hives and, having not used them for years, he has proved that his system of beekeeping has worked, with healthy colonies being the result.
There is a lot of food for thought in this small book which is an excellent introduction to anyone who might be having thoughts on keeping bees in an alternative and chemical-free way."

Care of Bees in Warré and Top Bar Hives Without Fuss or Chemicals Book 6 25 Joe Bleasdale Reviews
This book is written with clear and concise language. It outlines management of HTB and Warre hives, comparing and contrasting both techniques. Complete and helpful!
I found this book very informative and entertaining. I would recommend newbees, such as myself, read as well as anyone interested in non-invasive beekeeping methods.
I would have appreciated a book three times as long, preferably with more of those wonderful stories. A solid, basic book. More pictures desired.
Very informative and interesting. Great stories! I had to share this with my daughter and will be purchasing her own copy for reference. We are both interested in all natural beekeeping (without the use of pesticides in the hive. this is a very good resource.
As someone new to beekeeping I've read a lot of websites, skimmed a lot of books, and watched dozens of YouTube videos. The book is the best resource I've found for details about the top bar hive.
Decent information, but not laid out very well.
Book of helpful information, though more of a collection of "tips" than a comprehensive discussion of beekeeping. Well worth the price an some of the information will be very helpful.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was both informative and entertaining while being extremely thorough. I feel that I will read it again and again to take the information in.
