Beekeeping is a profession, art and craft ! Discover the beekeeping! Beekeeping is no longer the quiet rural activity it used to be in the past. This
book is for beginners, current and future beekeepers and for the
‘general reader’ to find out what happens in beekeeping and how the
beekeepers talk about it. This book walks through different
situations that arise in beekeeping but it does not present "dry"
instructions about beekeeping techniques but adds information about
beekeeping through stunning stories told by professional beekeepers. Here
you can find 21 beekeeping stories (some of them with unexpected
endings) from Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria, China, England,
