Owning includes offline downloads and never expires.
In a Sussex village lives an old bee master, and Tickner Edwardes spent seasons at his side. These sketches from the early 1900s follow a year among the hives of Warrilow: swarms chased across summer fields, honey flows and hard winters, and the quiet wisdom of a man who reads bees the way others read weather. Part nature writing, part village portrait, it captures a slower England where craft was passed hand to hand. Gentle, observant, and quietly funny, this is countryside listening at its finest. Step through the garden gate and meet the master.
