Download or read book The Honey Bus written by Meredith May and published by Harlequin. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature’s most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee. Meredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. She was five years old, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees. May turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled reality. Her mother had receded into a volatile cycle of neurosis and despair and spent most days locked away in the bedroom. It was during this pivotal time in May’s childhood that she learned to take care of herself, forged an unbreakable bond with her grandfather and opened her eyes to the magic and wisdom of nature. The bees became a guiding force in May’s life, teaching her about family and community, loyalty and survival and the unequivocal relationship between a mother and her child. Part memoir, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places, and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life.

Download or read book Harvesting Honey written by Wally Shaw and published by Northern Bee Books. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this booklet is to help beekeepers to better understand honey itself and to harvest and prepare it for home use or sale retaining as much of its essential properties as possible. What exactly is honey, for it is certainly a lot more than a solution of various sugars in water? If we are to produce good honey it is important to understand how it should be handled in all stages between the hive and jar because in reality it is quite a delicate product. Stories about finding four thousand year old honey in Egyptian tombs and "and it was just as good as the day it was put there" are just that - stories. There are many similarities between honey and wines; they both need great care in their production, handing and storage if they are to develop and retain their full potential. It is generally accepted that the `best` honey comes straight from the comb (cut comb or sections). The various processes that we use to get pristine honey from the comb into a jar all have the potential to damage it in some way. In Britain we currently get a premium price for home-produced honey (the envy of beekeepers in many other parts of the world) and it is our responsibility to see that we bring a top quality product to market.

Download or read book Bad Beekeeping written by Ron Miksha and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A million pounds of honey. Produced by a billion bees! This memoir reconstructs the life of a young man from Pennsylvania as he drops into the bald prairie badlands of southern Saskatchewan. He buys a honey ranch and keeps the bees that make the honey. But he also spends winters in Florida swamps, nurse-maid to ten thousand dainty queen bees. From the dusty Canadian prairie to the thick palmetto swamps of the American south, the reader meets with simple folks who shape the protagonist's character - including a Cree rancher with three sons playing NHL hockey, a Hutterite preacher who yearns to roam the globe, a reclusive bee-eating homesteader, and a grey-headed widow who grows grapefruit, plays a nasty game of scrabble, and lives with four vicious dogs. Encompassing a ten-year period, this true story evolves from the earnest inexperience of the young man as he learns an art and builds a business. Carefully researched natural biology runs counterpoint to human social activities. Bee craft serves as the setting for expositions that contrast American and Canadian lifestyles, while exemplifying the harsh reality of a man working with and against the physical environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As a world authority on insect anatomy, Snodgrass has given us this book a brilliant account of the anatomy of the honey bee and how it relates to the way that bees develop and how and why they function as they do in their interesting communal life. This book should be in the library of every student of the honey bee and bee behaviour—beekeepers as well as scientists. The book is delightfully written and is enjoyable reading.”—American Bee Journal “This is not just a technical reference book on honey bee anatomy. It is far more, it is essentially a treatise on entomology, using one species as an example, and including a discussion of the fundamentals of embryology, development, and metamorphosis as well as anatomy. The subject of each chapter is approached from the broadest evolutionary point of view, and its horizon includes all the arthropods and beyond, so that the bee really typifies animal life in general. Finally, the language of the book is such that it can be read straight through with pleasure....It is a delight to follow the author through this complete examination of one insect: how it develops, how it grows, and how it operates.”—Entomological News

Download or read book Honey Bee Farming written by Carl Juan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apiculture, often known as beekeeping, refers to the process of maintaining honey bees for the goal of harvesting honey, beeswax, and other useful bee-related goods. Producing honey and other products from honey bees requires providing them with a favorable environment, meeting their needs, and taking care of their hives or colonies. Here are the most important parts and features of a honey bee farm: - Beekeepers supply the specialized boxes or buildings where honey bees construct their nests and store their honey as beehives. These hives allow beekeepers quick and simple access to the colony they are caring for. - Colony Management: Beekeepers are responsible for the care and management of bee colonies. Protecting the colony from disease and pests is a part of this, as is keeping an eye on the bees' well-being and activity levels. - The primary goal of keeping honey bees is to produce honey. Honey is harvested by beekeepers who gently remove honeycomb from beehives without disturbing the bees. When honey is harvested is determined by a number of variables, including the climate of the region and the specific honey being harvested. - In addition to honey, bee colonies produce a useful substance called beeswax. Candles, cosmetics, and food-preservation wraps are just a few of the many uses for beeswax. - Honey bees provide vital pollination services for many different types of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Beekeepers who place their hives in or near flowering fields provide farmers with a valuable pollination service. - Products from the hive include honey, beeswax, royal jelly, bee pollen, and propolis, all of which the bees use for various purposes, including sealing and protecting the hive, feeding the young bees, and gaining nutrients. - Instructional and Conservation Efforts: Beekeepers regularly engage in instructional efforts to promote awareness about the importance of honey bees and the issues they face, such as habitat loss and pesticide exposure. They may also take part in preservation initiatives aimed at keeping honey bee populations safe. Crop pollination and the creation of natural, renewable goods can make honey bee farming a viable and environmentally benign agricultural activity. To succeed, though, you'll need to study up on beekeeping and pay close attention to the health of your hives. Commercial, amateur, and conservation beekeepers all contribute significantly to agricultural and ecosystem health.
