Beekeeping — Practical, Experiential, and Fanciful (113 books)

Human interaction with honey bees. Aside from serious beekeeping, what does it all mean? What ‘rules’ do people think apply? What ‘wisdom’? What do onlookers and would-be beekeepers imagine to be true? How are honey bees understood in genres such as self-sufficiency, natural history, mythology, and spiritual practice? And, when all is said and done, what is the actual and personal experience of keeping bees?
