Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches for Modern Apiculture, 2nd Ed.
Whether you are a novice looking to get started with bees, an experienced apiculturist seeking ideas to develop an integrated pest-management approach, or someone who wishes to sell honey at a premium price, this book is the one you have been waiting for. Fully revised and updated with new resources, including full-color photographs throughout, Natural Beekeeping offers all the latest information in a book that has already proven invaluable for organic beekeepers.
The new edition presents the same holistic, sensible alternative to conventional chemical practices, with a program of natural hive management, but it also includes new sections on a wide range of subjects, such as the basics of bee biology and anatomy, urban beekeeping, identifying and working with queens, parasitic mite control, and hive diseases. Additionally, a completely new chapter on marketing provides valuable advice for anyone intending to sell a wide range of hive products.
Other chapters cover hive management, genetics and breeding, the honey harvest, and the future of organic beekeeping. Ross Conrad brings together the best "do no harm" strategies for keeping honeybees healthy and productive, using nontoxic methods of controlling mites, eliminating American foulbrood disease without the use of antibiotics, and selective breeding for naturally resistant bees, among many other detailed management techniques, which are covered in a thoughtful, matter-of-fact way.
