Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to harvest delicious honey in your backyard to give your flowers the boost they need? You’ve always had a bit of a green thumb, planting both food crops and flowers. But recent years have been disappointing, and you’re considering scaling back your garden. That’s when you visit your friend. They’re always up to something, and this year is no different. Walking up to their house, you’re greeted by a garden that is positively bursting with color. The backyard is remarkably, even better. How did they do it? “Bees,” says your friend, casually. The bee colonies they started a couple of years ago have ensured fully pollinated plants and great harvests. This, not to mention the side business he started selling the honey and wax. They suggest you do it, too. There are a lot of reasons to keep bees, including: ⚫Pollinating your other plants ⚫Improving harvests ⚫Harvesting honey, wax, and pollen ⚫Getting outside more often ⚫Supporting the local ecosystem ⚫Starting a business In recent years, there has substantial growth in urban agriculture and homesteading. This includes beekeeping. Aside from the benefits of a better garden and outdoor activity, it helps the ecology and food supply. The Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that if the trend continues, by 2035 the common honeybee might disappear. This means that at a macro-level these highly-effective pollinators are needed more than ever. In addition to making a valuable contribution to the world, beekeeping is a meditative and relaxing activity. Handling bees with ease in full gear, you can’t help but look like a rockstar. Of course, there is work and learning involved, but this effort can be invigorating, even before considering all the other benefits. The first step is figuring out if beekeeping is for you and then starting small, step by step, to get firsthand experience. Here’s a select sample of what you’ll discover in Beekeeping for Beginners: ⚫Step by step instructions for setting up and cultivating your bee colonies ⚫Drones, workers, and queen, oh my! Understanding bee colony dynamics for a happy hive ⚫Gardening for bees – finding your bee’s favorite plants for productive colonies ⚫A complete list of considerations and expectations to determine if beekeeping is for you ⚫Building your beehive with effective design and straightforward construction ⚫Protecting your hive from common threats and keeping them healthy ⚫How to find the necessary support to avoid costly mistakes And much more. Some people are resistant to starting bee colonies because the thought of being around a lot of bees can be intimidating. The key is to wear the right gear, start small with just a couple of colonies, and practice the techniques to build facility and confidence. After a while, the bees become just a normal part of the routine. If you want to level up your garden and do something epic this year, scroll up and click the ‘Add to Cart’ button.

Providing habitat for bees, pollinating your garden, and producing honey for your family are some of the compelling reasons for taking up this exciting hobby. But conventional beekeeping requires a significant investment and has a steep learning curve. The alternative? Consider beekeeping outside the box. The Thinking Beekeeper is the definitive do-it-yourself guide to natural beekeeping in top bar hives. Based on the concept of understanding and working with bees’ natural systems as opposed to trying to subvert them, the advantages of this approach include: · Simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness · Increased safety due to less heavy lifting and hive manipulation · Chemical-free colonies and healthy hives Top bar hives can be located anywhere bees have access to forage, and they make ideal urban hives. Emphasizing the intimate connection between our food systems, bees, and the well-being of the planet, The Thinking Beekeeper will appeal to the new breed of beekeeper who is less focused on maximizing honey yield, and more on ensuring the viability of the bee population now and in the coming years.

Download or read book Bee Focused What Honeybees Can Teach Us About Change Crisis and Communication written by Scott Proposki and published by Bookpatch LLC. This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Powerful Connection Between The World of Beekeeping and Business Has Emerged The crisis of viruses called COVID-19 gripped the entire planet, and people's lives, the world economy, and our whole future were uncertain. Some businesses collapsed, while others thrived. A similar phenomenon happens in honey bee hives. For several years we have seen outbreaks of Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV). If the virus is not treated, the honey bees will die off, and the colony will collapse. During the COVID-19 epidemic, businesses have had to close for months to stop the spread of the virus. Like honey bees infected with CBPV, some companies did collapse. Still, some business owners will weather this new storm because we have to. Our ecological survival depends on the honey bees overcoming their virus. Our economic survival depends on business owners overcoming this virus as humans. Luckily, for Scott's experience, he has discovered that entrepreneurs can thrive in adverse conditions, especially those with ADHD. They become very focused with superpowers engaging in what people call hyper-focus and adapt to the next thing. They can pivot fast, coming up with new business ideas that respond to an altered reality. When a Honey bee hive gets destroyed, the survivors will "bee focused" and start rebuilding the colony again as soon as possible, starting from nothing, as they did once before as they never give up, neither will we. Scott Proposki currently owns and operates several organizations making him a popular resource for many small to medium-sized corporations. He is an active speaker; writer, and he is a host of the 3'Oclock Coffee Podcast, a place where extraordinary people share meaningful stories and ideas.
