Dear reader, in front of you is the second edition of the book. It is not like any other beekeeping book. This is not a textbook or a practical guide in the usual matter for us. In this little book I have outlined only the most important findings based on my learnings and experiences. The ones that, in my opinion, helped my bees and me find happiness in life.
The information contained in the book will be useful for both experienced and novice beekeepers. Everyone will discover for themselves interesting "goodies". For the way I have changed the quality of bees life, the way I have protected them from exposure to electrical fields, and what methods of Varroa mite fight I applied to.
Among other things, you will learn my completely new method of dividing the family of bees into two equal parts without losing the bees flying for a nectar (flight bees). You will learn how I harvest honey, how I brew a tasty and useful feed for bees, how and where I place hives and a lot of other practical information, which is important not only for bees but also can become a business springboard for the enterprising reader...
Besides all this, I suggest an unusual idea, an unusual reason for conducting beekeeping. This idea is fundamentally changing the relationship between beekeeper and bee, filling their relationship with mutual love and respect. Gives the beekeeper an opportunity to feel involved in bee magic. Fills beekeeper heart with meaning and the joy of being alive. This feeling warms the heart and pleases the soul. And this wonderful sensation can settle in your heart as well. This is beautiful, isn't it?!
I believe that when this idea prevails among beekeepers, our world, our Earth as a whole will be happier and kinder.
I will be elated if my practical findings prove to be useful and will bring prosperity to you and your bees. The more cheerful bees are, the more harmony and love occur in our World. Make your bees glad and join with them in a Song of Love and a Song of Joy. Welcome to my Happy Bees.
What's new in this edition? Two new chapters were added in the about my new method of splitting the bees’ family and about my method the fight against Varroa Mite. In addition, the presentation of the actual material has been significantly expanded and improved. The book has become more detailed and better understandable. Corrected and reworked the translation of the book. I invite you to read my book. Best regards, Peter Grayman.
I live with my family in a wonderful country. I have my beloved wife and wonderful adult children. I have a happy dog Alma, a happy cat Peach, and happy bees. I am happy with what I have it all. I am a beekeeper. I rose from the novice to the beekeeper who keeps his bees in order that life was better in the World. My heart is filled with the joy of life from the awareness of my involvement in bee magic, which fills the world with the warmth of goodness and harmony of love. In addition, I am an electronics engineer. Once upon a time my lucky to work in the International Space Project "Phobos". The program featured cooperation of 14 nations, including Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, France, Germany, and the United States. I worked in the group for the development and manufacture of some units solar telescope block. The telescope was mounted on the Phobos-1 satellite and perfectly fulfilled his mission of studying the sun. And more, I am just a happy man. I love life and it seems to me that life helps me. Of course! Around me are love and happiness.
2 stars for the effort, but the writing is painfully difficult to read. An editor or even a friend-proofreader who is a native english speaker would make a world of difference. A few interesting perspectives, but much that I already knew, not a good use of my time.
A refreshing look at bees with some innovative yet common sense ideas. I read this as a beekeeper and shall incorporate this knowledge into my care regime.
