by Bill Anderson (Author)
From building a hive to harvesting honey, a top urban beekeeper shares how to care for bees the simple, mindful way.
In The Idle Beekeeper, Bill Anderson calls upon his years of experience as an urban beekeeper to celebrate these underappreciated insects and show how simple and rewarding beekeeping can be. In this entertaining, philosophical, and practical guide, Anderson shares why and how to build a hive system that is both cutting-edge and radically old. Maximum idleness is achieved through step-by-step directions to help the beekeeper gently harvest honey with minimum effort, make mead and beeswax candles, and closely observe and understand these fascinating and productive social creatures. Global bee populations have been rapidly declining for years, and it's not just our honey supply that's at stake: The contribution of bees to the pollination of crops is essential to human survival. But even in industrial apiaries, bees are in distress, hiving in synthetic and hostile environments. Enter idle beekeeping, the grassroots, low-intervention system that seeks to emulate the behavior and habitat of bees in the wild--and it only requires two active days of beekeeping per year, one in the spring and another in the fall. For anyone interested in keeping bees, The Idle Beekeeper is the definitive guide to getting started, even in a city, and without effort.
