Susan Knilans and Jacqueline Freeman are in love with bees. So in love that they observe their bees-their work, communication, seasonal activity, and more-for hours each day. And with observation came realization: when bees are allowed to live as they would in nature (with smaller hives, no chemicals, freedom to swarm, and little-to-no human interference), they will thrive. Accordingly, Knilans and Freeman have spent decades perfecting the revolutionary practice of preservation beekeeping, guided by the simple question, "What do the bees want?" A surprising page-turner, this instructional book tells the story of their successes and failures, demonstrating what was learned along the way. Sharing preservation beekeeping's key tenets, the authors provide concrete, simple ways to implement their approach, from finding the right hive location to honing observation skills. This preservation manifesto is a vital addition to any beekeeper's library, imparting all the joys of a beekeeper's life"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 638.1 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 638.1 Knilans Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 638.1 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 638.1 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 638.1 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList
