The Idle Beekeeper: The Low-Effort, Natural Way to Raise Bees

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. —- ISBN: 9781468317060 | ISBN10: 1468317067 | ISBN-13: 978-1468317060
