The Bad Beekeeper's Club: How I Stumbled into the… von Bill Turnbull
And another bit of a star. Does what it said on the tin - light hearted, warmhearted and humorous. A quick read. Now go and read 'A Sting in the Tale' by David Goulson for more humor, and a bit more depth and bumblebees.
Have had this on the TBR shelf for a long time. Finally read it. Bill was a long term and very likeable on screen presenter on BBC Breakfast a few years ago. He also did Strictly Come Dancing which is a favourite of mine.
This memoir is very typical of him, amusing, wry humour, light hearted about his leap into beekeeping. Entertaining, easy read.

An amusing and informative book about beekeeping and Turnbull's exploits as a beginner beekeeper. Nicely done, with enough humour but also heart. The only bit I didn't like was his chapter about rivalry with Chris Tarrant, as this just seemed a bit name-droppy - but I loved his marathon (done in beekeeping costume, of course) and stint on Strictly Come Dancing. Probably most useful in the amount I learned about what Gill does for a hobby - although I do seem to have absorbed and taken on this information, when really I could have just stored and accessed it via Gill!… (mehr)
