A truly lush, radiant enthusiast’s guide, The Backyard Beekeeper’s Honey Handbook goes beyond the scope of a cookbook to introduce to readers the literal cornucopia of honey varieties available. An intuitive follow-up to The Backyard Beekeeper, this book will presume beekeeping experience but reintroduce the basics. It is an insight into the practical, back-to-the-earth beekeeping lifestyle and well as the artisan cultivation of honey varieties. Supplementary support for this book lay in the fact that interest in tapping honey’s holistic and whole-health potential dovetails nicely into the natural health and green movements. Also, honey as natural, lower-calorie sweetener has garnered positive PR by those working against the obesity epidemic. |
Kim Flottum is the editor of Bee Culture magazine, published by the A. I. Root Company in Medina, Ohio, where he has been for more than twenty years. His book The Backyard Beekeeper: An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Keeping Bees in Your Yard or Garden was published by Quarry Books in 2005. He edited (with Dr. Shiminuki and Ann Harman) the popular 41st edition of the ABC and XYZ of Bee Culture, the bible of U.S. beekeeping published by the A. I. Root Company. Kim blogs for www.thedailygreen.com on the beekeeping world, plus he is a regular columnist for the U.K. beekeeping magazine The Beekeeper's Quarterly. He also writes articles on the beekeeping life for many agricultural and gardening journals. Kim and his wife Kathy keep a few hives in the backyard, while a garden, two cats, hundreds of exotic plants, and extensive travel for his job and volunteer efforts fill much of his time. Kim's best advice to beekeepers? Keep your smoker lit and your hive tool sharp, because next year will be better. |
