What's the buzz about the growing popularity of backyard
beekeeping? Providing habitat for bees, pollinating your garden,
and producing honey for your family are some of the compelling
reasons for taking up this exciting hobby. But conventional
beekeeping requires a significant investment and has a steep
learning curve. The alternative? Consider beekeeping outside the
box. The Thinking Beekeeper is the definitive do-it-yourself guide
to natural beekeeping in top bar hives. Based on the concept of
understanding and working with bees' natural systems as opposed to
trying to subvert them, the advantages of this approach include: *
Simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness * Increased
safety due to less heavy lifting and hive manipulation *
Chemical-free colonies and healthy hives Top bar hives can be
located anywhere bees have access to forage, and they make ideal
urban hives due to their small footprint. Emphasizing the intimate
connection between our food systems, bees, and the well-being of
the planet, The Thinking Beekeeper will appeal to the new breed of
beekeeper who is less focused on maximizing honey yield, and more
on ensuring the viability of the bee population now and in the
coming years. Christy Hemenway is the owner and founder of Gold
Star Honeybees, a complete resource for all things related to
beekeeping in top-bar hives. A passionate bee-vangelist and
advocate for natural, chemical-free beekeeping, Christy is a highly
sought-after speaker, helping audiences to understand the integral
connection between bees, food, human health, and the future of the
planet.
