Step into the remarkable world of the honeybee in this illuminating and delightfully illustrated pocket guide.
For budding apiarists, this introductory book offers fascinating information about honeybees and everything you need to know to begin your own beekeeping journey. For example, did you know that from birth, female bees are promoted through roles such as nurse, baker, and guardian of the hive? Or that male bees' primary purpose is simply to mate with a queen, but only 0.1% of them ever will?
In these pages, you'll discover the inner workings of the beehive, the properties of honey, the basics of keeping bees, and the joys that come from this meditative hobby, including a thriving garden, environmental stewardship, and a supportive community (not to mention delicious honey!). A whole world awaits-and it's just outside your door.
Ariel Silva began keeping bees in 2012 after moving onto a hundred-year-old farmstead. He sells his delicious linden honey online and teaches people all over the world about the joys of beekeeping and the importance of pollinators through his popular TikTok account @bowserbee. Silva and his apiary are located in northern Illinois.
