The Barefoot Beekeeper A Simple Sustainable Approach To Smallscale Beekeeping Using Top Bar Hives

"The Barefoot Beekeeper is a revolutionary book about 'sustainable', chemical-free beekeeping, showing how it can be simplified and made accessible to all. The author strips away all unnecessary complication and confusion, demonstrating that 'modern' beekeeping methods are largely to blame for the poor state of health of the honeybee and that the commercialization of beekeeping marked the start of the disease and parasite problems that honeybees have been trying to deal with ever since. The author advocates small-scale, sustainable beekeeping, with minimal disturbance to the bees and more time spent observing and learning from them." -Back Cover.
