Ever dreamed of keeping bees? Tickner Edwardes, the beloved English writer-beekeeper of the early twentieth century, wrote this book to open the hive to everyone. In plain, friendly chapters he walks through choosing a hive, handling your first swarm, the rhythm of the bee year, and the sweet reward of the honey harvest. His advice is practical, his affection for the craft unmistakable, and his voice as warm as a summer apiary. Whether you tend a garden plot or simply love the idea, this is a charming doorway into an ancient craft. Lift the lid and listen in.
