Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey--The Sweet… por Holley Bishop
Great. Not too in depth but a general introduction to the topic with bits of history like honey in smuggling or in the revolutionary war
This is a poorly written book about a commercial beekeeper. It was recommended at our first beekeeping class. I was very disappointed.

From Amazon: “Bishop — beekeeper, writer, and honey aficionado — apprentices herself to Donald Smiley, a professional beekeeper who harvests tupelo honey in the Florida panhandle. She intersperses the lively lore and science of honey with lyrical reflections on her own and Smiley’s beekeeping experiences. . . . Part history, part love letter”
Both beekeeper Smiley and Bishop are highly likeable and I greatly enjoyed this peek into making a living from honey, bottled yourself, before colony collapse syndrome.
Read this if: you’ve ever wanted to keep bees. 4 stars… (más)
