Description

The Bad Beekeeper's Club is a charming and often hilarious account of how Bill Turnbull stumbled into the world of beekeeping. Despite many setbacks, including being stung twice on his first day of training, beekeeping taught Bill a great deal about himself and the world around him.

As Bill shares his story, he highlights the very real threats to Britain's bee population, including the alarming rate of hive collapses with significant environmental consequences. One in every three tablespoons of food derives directly from the pollinating process of the humble bumble bee.

This universally appealing story about a singular passion is both fascinating and extremely funny, making The Bad Beekeeper's Club a compelling read for anyone interested in nature, animals, or the human experience.
