English Summary/英文概要： A fascinating hobby; a remunerative business; or a globetrotting career? Which type of beekeeper do you want to be? It is entirely up to you: beekeeping can provide it all.Beekeeping can provide anyone with an interesting and useful hobby or a lucrative and rewarding business. It is recognised as a vital agricultural industry and can therefore also offer you a globe trotting career. The whole subject is, however, often shrouded in mystery and loaded with jargon, leaving many people unaware of its true potential or how to start. This book strips away all the mystery and explains step by step how - from day one - you can start beekeeping as a hobby; how you can progress to running a beekeeping business; or how you can start a career as a beekeeper which can quite easily take you all over the world. No other guide explains in such detail the true potential and accessibility of beekeeping or of being a beekeeper.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在許多人看來，蜜蜂養殖委實是一項頗為吊詭的行業，行為看似怪癖的中年人們套著厚重的防護服，終日出沒於碩大無朋的蜂房中不停踱來踱去。不過事實上，作為一門在全球範圍內蓬勃興起的朝陽產業，蜜蜂養殖不僅為人們帶來了數以億計的豐厚利潤，同時還在戰略角度，成為了世界各國所重視的一項資源。
正是基於這個行業獨特的重要性，眼下它已成功為全球眾多年輕人(同樣還包括了年長人士)創造出了大量的就業機會，養殖技術人員、蜜蜂科研工作者、蜜蜂學家以及飼育業主等崗位正吸引著越來越多有志於投身該領域發展的有志之士。
本書作者大衛.克普早在1991年便將蜜蜂養殖視為了自己樂此不疲的愛好加以經營，翌年他進入了著名的卡迪夫大學蜜蜂研究所進行深造。隨後，他轉而前往西班牙，在那裏開設了自己的蜜蜂培育公司，主要從事有機蜂蜜的生產工作。經歷了十二年頭的奮鬥之後，他又舉家遷至新西蘭，並在當地成功運營了一間擁有4000個蜂房的養殖基地，致力於授粉以及麥盧卡蜂蜜的研究工作。大衛的文章經常出現在西班牙以及英美等國的蜜蜂類雜誌之上，同時他還出版了著名的「蜜蜂培育指南」一書。
四十多歲才開始投身蜜蜂領域的大衛可謂是半道出家。但透過本書，他成功為讀者們揭開了蜜蜂養殖的層層神秘面紗，撥雲見日，讓所有人更加直觀地感受到了這一領域的奧妙與樂趣所在，並向我們證明了，蜜蜂養殖完全可以作為一門事業，值得我們用一生的時間去好好經營。(ANDY)
