The Bee-friendly Beekeeper
The Bee-friendly Beekeeper by David Heaf (paperback, 170 x 244 mm, 160 page)
In recent years beekeepers have suffered heavy losses of colonies. This book examines the possible issues behind this problem and drawing on our knowledge of bee biology identifies a possible approach to keeping bees that is more bee-appropriate.
A case is made for making natural comb the centre of a way of beekeeping that better respects the nature of the honey-bee. Among the hives based on relatively natural comb is that of Emile Warre and the author describes the bee-friendly features of its operation.
Suitable for beginners who already have a basic knowledge of the life of the honey bee, as well as for beekeepers with experience who want to discover a more bee-friendly way, either with their existing hives or with the Warre hive.
