About the book
The Beekeeper’s Bible
is as much an ultimate guide to the practical essentials of beekeeping
as it is a beautiful almanac to be read from cover to cover. Part
history book, part handbook, and part cookbook, this illustrated tome
covers every facet of the ancient hobby of beekeeping, from how to
manage hives safely to harvesting one's own honey, and ideas for how to
use honey and beeswax. Detailed instructions for making candles,
furniture polish, beauty products, and nearly 100 honey-themed recipes
are included. Fully illustrated with how-to photography and unique
etchings, any backyard enthusiast or gardener can confidently dive into
beekeeping with this book in hand (or daydream about harvesting their
own honey while relaxing in the comfort of an armchair).
Praise for The Beekeeper's Bible:
"Jones and Sweeney-Lynch explain the science and society of bees in clear, accessible language. And the recipes are admirably useful: honey scones, honey soap, honey hangover cures. 'Oh, stuff and fluff,' as Pooh might say. Dip a paw into this richly satisfying volume and you won't have to do stoutness exercises."
-The New York Times
