Infos

Beekeeping is more than a hobby — it's a craft and passion shared by people from all walks of life. Beekeeping: A Practical Guide for Considerate Beekeepers blends the first-hand knowledge of experienced beekeepers, Clare Densley and Martin Hann of Buckfast Abbey, with field-tested methods to help beekeepers better understand the complex nature of honey bee society and foster a more harmonious relationship with their colonies. It delves into the complexities of swarming, unpredictable bee behaviour, and practical solutions when things go awry. Keeping bees is an opportunity for continual learning and acquiring new skills, and this book is designed to accompany beekeepers on their journey of discovery.
