Indeed, landscape, conservation and biodiversity are inextricably linked and this book takes a comprehensive look at the European scene.

Bees are beneficial insects that keep the world buzzing with life. Albert Einstein once warned that if bees disappear from earth, humankind would have no more than four years to live. Bees are important because they pollinate flowering plants and crops. Many bees perform a dance to communicate the direction and distance of food sources from the hive. A backyard gardener can do a lot to prevent worldwide honeybee die-off. For the most part, a bee garden doesn't attract so many bees that a gardener has to worry about being stung or attracting a host of bees. However, it's smart to place some plants for bees on the outer fringes of the yard or garden as opposed to next to the house or near walkways. In addition to bees, other beneficial insects include dragonflies, ladybugs, spiders and praying mantises. Learn about beekeeping and the secrets in this delicate art in Alicia Moore's Beekeeping Secrets.

Huber's New Observations Upon Bees The Complete Volumes I & II (Hardcover): Francis Huber Huber's New Observations Upon Bees The Complete Volumes I & II (Hardcover)
Francis Huber; Translated by Charles Pierre Dadant; Contributions by Michael Bush
R1,846 Discovery Miles 18 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

What Huber discovered and wrote about here, laid the ground work for all the practical knowledge we have of bees today. His discoveries were so revolutionary, that beekeeping can be divided in two eras very easily as pre-Huber and post-Huber. This edition of Huber's Observations by far surpasses any other edition ever printed in the English language.First it has both Volume I and II, while every English edition currently in print that I am aware of is only Volume I of the 1809 edition. which is only a third of the final Huber book. The second volume was published in 1814 in French 5 years after that 1809 edition and contains Huber's research on the origin of wax, the construction of comb, the ventilation of the hive and much more.Second, it is the best English translation from the original French and the only one I know of that has both volumes. C.P. Dadant, was uniquely qualified to do the translation. Dadant was born in France and French was his first language, yet he spent most of his life beekeeping; and writing and editing beekeeping articles and books in America in English. Third, all of the English editions currently in print have only 2 plates (if any). Only the previous Dadant edition (1926) had all 14 of the original plates but unfortunately they were only halftones of some old yellow copies and are not very readable. This edition has new scans from a very good condition edition of the original 1814 French of both Volumes of Nouvelles Observations Sur Les Abeilles so these are clearer than any previous edition other than the original 1814 French edition. An additional engraving of Huber's work from Cheshire's book, plus an engraving of Francis Huber from the Dadant edition have been included. In addition, 7 more photos of a museum quality reproduction of Huber's Leaf hive have also been included. All figures have been split out and enlarged and put in the text where they are referred to. Photos of the original plates are included at the back for historic and artistic purposes.Fourth, to put this book in context I have included a memoir of Huber by Professor De Candolle, a friend of Huber. This gives a bit of background on Huber's life.Fifth, the only other edition to come close to this, the 1926 edition by Dadant, was in very small print. This one is 12 point and a typeface that appears to be larger and is very readable.

R757 Discovery Miles 7 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is about how to keep bees in a natural and practical system where they do not require treatments for pests and diseases and only minimal interventions. It is also about simple practical beekeeping. It is about reducing your work. It is not a main-stream beekeeping book. Many of the concepts are contrary to "conventional" beekeeping. The techniques presented here are streamlined through decades of experimentation, adjustments and simplification. The content was written and then refined from responding to questions on bee forums over the years so it is tailored to the questions that beekeepers, new and experienced, have. It is divided into three volumes and this edition contains only Volume II: Intermediate Beekeeping Naturally.

R558 Discovery Miles 5 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Queen Rearing Simplified is one of the most popular queen rearing books of all time written by a man who raised a lot of good queens. It is no longer in print, so I am trying to keep Jay's wisdom alive here. There are many queen breeding books by scientists or small-scale breeders, but this is by a beekeeper who raised thousands of queens every year. I think what he has to say is much more applicable to practical queen rearing. This is a reprint so the old pictures are not the highest quality.
