Modern beekeeping, influenced by new technologies and breeding
methods, has increased honey production but left bee colonies weak
and vulnerable to disease. With the alarming decline of the bee
population raising concerns about an impending ecological crisis,
many beekeepers are seeking a more sustainable way of caring for
bees. Biodynamic Beekeeping is the first book to offer practical
instruction on caring for bees using biodynamic theories and
methods. By considering the influence of the movement of the stars
and the planets on the bees' natural habits, biodynamics encourages
beekeepers to be more in tune with their bees indicating, for
example, the best days on which to inspect colonies or gather
honey. This fascinating book offers beekeepers detailed advice and
instruction on how to work more holistically, including: -- the
challenges and advantages of breeding queen bees -- how to
artificially induce swarming to propagate colonies -- how to use
biodynamic ashing techniques to combat varroa mites -- instructions
for making winter-feed according to current biodynamic thinking
