Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The landscape of London is surprisingly home to numerous bee hives, found on rooftops, in royal grounds, among skyscrapers, and in backyards across the city. This book paints a vivid portrait of these hidden locations and introduces readers to the beekeepers and their bees throughout the seasons. Following the authors over a year, it serves as a travelogue, nature guide, and how-to manual for urban dwellers interested in beekeeping. Through interviews with a diverse range of urban apiarists, readers will discover how city workers tend to their bees during lunch breaks, entrepreneurs sell London honey, youth workers use beekeeping to support troubled teenagers, and environmentalists strive to green the city with nature's efficient pollinator. By connecting with this new breed of beekeepers and learning to keep bees in small spaces, readers will find inspiration to embrace this increasingly popular pastime.
