BeeCabulary Essentials is designed for new and existing beekeepers to keep on hand and use as a beekeeping terminology reference for looking up words and phrases used in typical honey bee conversations. Chapters are well organized and each one flows easily through the terminology of keeping bees. Each key vocabulary word or term is defined and used to explain both the how and why of beekeeping.
The terms are richly illustrated, with photos by the author Andrew Conner, his father, Dr. Lawrence Connor, and many others. These images add a great deal to the definitions. The chapters in BeeCabulary Essentials are broken into the following beekeeping terminology reference areas:
- Types of Bees and Their Relatives

May the bee lingo be with you.
