Description

Beekeeping for Gardeners: A comprehensive guide to sustainable beekeeping for the modern gardener. This beautifully illustrated book shows how to create beautiful gardens that are richly rewarding for both people and bees. By incorporating flowers, shrubs, trees, and vegetable plots into your garden, you can provide vital pollen and nectar for pollinators when they need it most. The guide includes lists of top-performing plants and practical advice on how and where to grow them, from window boxes to wild gardens and ponds. By keeping bees in your garden, you can not only produce delicious honey but also contribute to the survival of these important creatures. This book explains the practicalities of keeping bees in a domestic garden setting, as well as on rooftops, allotments, parks, and farmland. It sets the delightful hobby of beekeeping within the context of the wider environment, exploring how it can best serve the needs of all types of pollinator and the local ecology.
