About the Book
"First published by HarperCollins Publishers in 2010."Book Synopsis
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, from ecologist Richard A. Jones and writer Sharon Sweeney-Lynch.
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. Lushly 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). "A glorious invitation into the depths of the honeybee hive." --Chicago Tribune "Elegant, information-packed." --Better Homes & Gardens' Country Gardens "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." --New York TimesAbout the Author
