IDLE BEEKEEPER

A grassroots, low-intervention system of beekeeping that seeks to emulate the behaviour and habitat of bees in the wild - and it only requires two active days of beekeeping per year. This entertaining, philosophical, and practical guide teaches step-by-step how to build a hive system developed to allow maximum idleness, harvest honey and extract honeycomb, make mead and beeswax candles, and to closely observe and understand these most fascinating and productive of insects.
