story of learning to raise honeybees and creating a life she loves
" An] engaging, delightfully informative work " "Publishers
Weekly"
"Marchese has given us a lovely gift. "Honeybee" is an
entertaining and useful primer for the novice and honeybee devotee
alike." "Washington Times "
"Surpassing the predictable "how I changed careers" memoir of
finding the good life, Marchese's informative guide is packed with
facts about everything from pollination to harvesting, life cycles
to historical lore, nutritional benefits to gourmet flavor
combinations, medical applications to unusual varieties."
"Booklist"
In 1999, Marina Marchese fell in love with bees during a tour of a
neighbor's honeybee hives. She quit her job, acquired her own bees,
built her own hives, harvested honey, earned a certificate in
apitherapy, studied wine tasting in order to transfer those skills
to honey tasting, and eventually opened her own honey business.
Today, Red Bee(r) Honey sells artisanal honey and honey-related
products to shops and restaurants all over the country.
More than an inspiring story of one woman's transformative
relationship with honeybees (some of nature's most fascinating
creatures), Honeybee is also bursting with information about all
aspects of bees, beekeeping, and honey including life inside the
hive; the role of the queen, workers, and drones; pollination and
its importance to sustaining all life; the culinary pleasures of
honey; hiving and keeping honeybees; the ancient practice of
apitherapy, or healing with honey, pollen, and bee venom; and much
more.
Recipes for food and personal care products appear throughout. Also
included is an excellent, one-of-a-kind appendix that lists 75
different honey varietals, with information on provenance, tasting
notes, and food-and-wine pairings.
