The honey bee has lived in close association with human beings for
millennia. Tragically, however, humanity's once intimate connection
with this unique creature has been harmed by our increasingly
utilitarian and exploitative dealings with the natural world. We
are now in urgent need of re-establishing a deeper relationship,
not just for the sake of the bees themselves but for the whole of
nature - and of course for ourselves.Lorenzen - a true master
beekeeper - provides numerous insights to enable a more fruitful
engagement with the living world. Offering an enrichment of the
knowledge and practice of beekeeping, he discusses the origins of
the honey bee, its relationship to the floral kingdom, the
digestion of the bee, the treatment of bee diseases as well as
appropriate beekeeping techniques. He also develops subtle
spiritual concepts such as the idea of the bee colony as an
'individuality' and 'group-soul', providing new depth and wisdom to
our understanding of how bees live and work.This small book, a
hidden gem that has never before appeared in English, is essential
reading for anyone who cares about the future of the honey bee and
the future of humanity.

The instant no. 2 Sunday Times bestseller! Join the Nicholson
family for this heartwarming journey through a typical springtime
on their South Yorkshire farm. Throughout the book they reflect on
the childhood stories, testing times, poignant memories and
enriching experiences that have shaped the lives they lead today.
With the coming of a new season, Roger and Cynthia Nicholson and
their sons Richard, Robert and David show how the farming year is
shaped around the arrival of baby goats, lambs, calves and piglets
galore. As Yorkshire's premier open farm attraction, Cannon Hall
Farm continues to play host to thousands of visitors and spring is
the busiest time of the year. People flock to meet the new arrivals
and catch up with old favourites such as the llama and alpaca
posse, the stunning shire horses and the irrepressible Shetland
ponies, including Ozzy Horsebourne and Jon Bon Pony. Along with all
the animal antics, Springtime at Cannon Hall Farm features tales of
bygone days when traditional skills, crafts and daily practices
shaped life in the countryside. And for fans of Rob and Dave's
Channel 5 shows, there are lots of behind-the-scenes secrets you
won't want to miss...
