Honeybees
are
amazing creatures.
They've been around long before us and have managed fine without us.
Today they are used in commercial pollination and honey ventures. They
also provide endless entertainment and facination for hobby beekeepers
like myself.
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 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.
If you enjoy woodworking, you can save money and have fun making your
own beehives.
This book teaches you to make beehives with a table saw using regular
and dado blades. The book covers bottom boards, shallow, medium and
deep supers, inner covers, telescoping outer covers and Hoffman style
frames.
Plans are included for a simple finger jointing jig, plus other jigs to
help efficiently cut multiple parts. 8 ½ x 11”.
Every
year, hundreds of professional beekeepers
forklift their wooden hives onto 18-wheel semis, strap down the loads,
and head out on the highway.
Across
the country - from the Imperial Valley in California to the Florida
panhandle and the hills of Maine – farmers rely on honeybees
to
pollinate crops worth $15 billion every year.
But
parasites, pesticides, and modern agricultural practices are making it
harder and harder for beekeepers to keep their bees alive, and the
crisis could affect what shows up on all of our dinner tables. Click
