Description
Treatment Free Beekeeping by David Heaf documents the success of beekeepers who have managed to care for their colonies without using chemicals. Since varroa arrived in Europe and America in the 1980s, many beekeepers have turned to chemical treatments to avoid heavy colony losses. However, a minority of beekeepers have found alternative methods that result in tolerable or even lower losses.
This book highlights thirty examples of treatment-free beekeepers from Europe and America, including those involved in varroa-resistant bee breeding. It provides an insight into the bee husbandries of these beekeepers and showcases the growing popularity of chemical-free beekeeping.
