Bees are vital to nature’s balance, and without them, everything could fall apart.
River Cottage Bees & Honey shows you how to protect and attract these precious pollinators. Learn to create a bee-friendly garden or patio, develop habitats without a beehive, and discover why all species of bees matter. You’ll also find a bee spotter’s guide to help you look more closely at your buzzing neighbours.
For those looking to set up a beehive, this book covers hive types, management, and includes a monthly beekeeping calendar. It also explores how to detect flower flavours in honey, with recipes that treat it like the gold it is. Plus, discover creative uses for beeswax and propolis.
With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and expert advice from River Cottage’s beekeeper, Steve Minshall, this book is the perfect companion to our beekeeping courses. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to learn more, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to help protect and enjoy the world of bees.
