Download or read book The Tears of Re written by Gene Kritsky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Egyptian mythology, when the ancient Egyptian sun god Re cried, his tears turned into honey bees upon touching the ground. For this reason, the honey bee was sacrosanct in ancient Egyptian culture. From the art depicting bees on temple walls to the usage of beeswax as a healing ointment, the honey bee was a pervasive cultural motif in ancient Egypt because of its connection to the sun god Re. Gene Kritsky delivers a concise introduction of the relationship between the honey bee and ancient Egyptian culture, through the lenses of linguistics, archeology, religion, health, and economics. Kritsky delves into ancient Egypt's multifaceted society, and traces the importance of the honey bee in everything from death rituals to trade. In doing so, Kritsky brings new evidence to light of how advanced and fascinating the ancient Egyptians were. This richly illustrated work appeals to a broad range of interests. For archeology lovers, Kritsky delves into the archeological evidence of Egyptian beekeeping and discusses newly discovered tombs, as well as evidence of manmade hives. Linguists will be fascinated by Kritsky's discussion of the first documented written evidence of the honeybee hieroglyph. And anyone interested in ancient Egypt or ancient cultures in general will be intrigued by Kritsky's treatment of the first documented beekeepers. This book provides a unique social commentary of a community so far removed from modern humans chronologically speaking, and yet so fascinating because of the stunning advances their society made. Beekeeping is the latest evidence of how ahead of their times the Egyptians were, and the ensuing narrative is as captivating as every other aspect of ancient Egyptian culture.

Book Synopsis The Thinking Beekeeper by : Christy Hemenway

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beginner’s complete guide to keeping bees in top bar hives, and why. What’s the buzz about the growing popularity of backyard beekeeping? Providing habitat for bees, pollinating your garden, and producing honey for your family are some of the compelling reasons for taking up this exciting hobby. But conventional beekeeping requires a significant investment and has a steep learning curve. The alternative? Consider beekeeping outside the box. The Thinking Beekeeper is the definitive do-it-yourself guide to natural beekeeping in top bar hives. Based on the concept of understanding and working with bees’ natural systems as opposed to trying to subvert them, the advantages of this approach include: · Simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness · Increased safety due to less heavy lifting and hive manipulation · Chemical-free colonies and healthy hives Top bar hives can be located anywhere bees have access to forage, and they make ideal urban hives. Emphasizing the intimate connection between our food systems, bees, and the well-being of the planet, The Thinking Beekeeper will appeal to the new breed of beekeeper who is less focused on maximizing honey yield, and more on ensuring the viability of the bee population now and in the coming years.

Download or read book Top-Bar Beekeeping written by Les Crowder and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top-Bar Beekeeping is an offering designed to encourage beekeepers around the world to keep bees naturally by providing beekeeping basics, hive management and the utilization of top-bar hives. In recent years, beekeepers have had to face tremendous challenges, from pests, such as varroa and tracheal mites, to the mysterious but even more devastating phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Yet in backyards and on rooftops all over the world, bees are being raised successfully, even without antibiotics, miticides, or other chemical inputs. More and more organically-minded beekeepers are now using top-bar hives, in which the shape of the interior resembles a hollow log. Long lasting and completely biodegradable, a top-bar hive made of untreated wood allows bees to build comb naturally rather than simply filling prefabricated foundation frames in a typical box hive with added supers. Top-bar hives yield slightly less honey but produce more beeswax than a typical Langstroth box hive. Regular hive inspection and the removal of old combs helps to keep bees healthier and naturally disease-free. Top-Bar Beekeeping provides complete information on hive management and other aspects of using these innovative hives. All home and hobbyist beekeepers who have the time and interest in keeping bees intensively should consider the natural, low-stress methods outlined in this book. It will also appeal to home orchardists, gardeners, and permaculture practitioners who look to bees for pollination as well as honey or beeswax.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Beekeeping by : Grant F. C. Gillard
Download or read book Sustainable Beekeeping written by Grant F. C. Gillard and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11-24 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is more to beekeeping than simply keeping bees. Honey bees face threats from Colony Collapse Disorder, systemic pesticides and GMO crops. It's becoming more difficult to keep honey bees, and next to impossible to keep those bees alive! How do we survive in this challenging age? Grant F. C. Gillard, a small-scale commercial beekeeper since 1981, shares his insights and philosophies, his field-tested ideas and sustainable methods on how to hang tough, to persevere in the face of adversity, to run and not grow weary, to walk and not faint. It's tough out there; tougher than you may think; tougher than we want to admit. The present response brings us the ideals of treatment-free beekeeping, natural and organic beekeeping, ecological beekeeping, even biodynamic beekeeping. We're giving Warre Hives and Top Bar Hives serious consideration. But sadly, even these less intensive methods of keeping bees face the same challenges as the commercial, conventional and traditional methods of keeping bees in Langstroth hives. Suburban homeowners chemically sanitize meticulously manicured lawns. Burgeoning expanses of asphalt and concrete gobble up formerly lush meadows of forage, clover and wildflowers. Systemic pesticides abound, poisoning our air, water and soil. Monocultured GMO crops proliferate from horizon to horizon in weed-free sterility, creating green deserts nutritionally devoid of floral diversity. We're plowing up fence rows, destroying vital habitat and endangering a fragile ecosystem already stressed by our incessant hunger to feed a starving planet. Ironically, such progress imperils our honey bees, these persistent pollinators that make as much as one-third of our food possible. A honey bee's daily existence perilously balances above an abyss, her simple tasks becoming a precarious ordeal simply to survive. Even seasoned beekeepers, caught by the shrapnel of this ecological assault, stagger and stumble amid paths strewn with unaccounted collateral damage. No one is immune and an uncertain future holds our food supply hostage. We need the bees, and we need the beekeepers. In the struggle to keep our hives alive, what are the workable solutions we can put into action to help us keep on keeping bees? What are the sustainable management practices that transcend our choice of how we keep our bees? How do I, as an individual beekeeper, become more self-reliant, resistant and resilient with respect to raising my own queens, replacement nucs...and how do I personally sustain myself amid all the disappointments, frustrations and dying hives every beekeeper faces in these difficult times? How do I have hope and not lose heart? We approach natural beekeeping and treatment-free methods, top bar hives and Warre hives as exemplars and prototypes to preserve for future generations the sacred practice of keeping honey bees. We search for that mythically elusive "silver bullet," the Holy Grail against our old nemesis, the varroa mite. For all our efforts, solutions evade us. We need a little hope, and a lot more optimism, but those alone won't keep our bees from dying. Inarguably, we need the honey bee, not just for honey but for the miraculous act of pollination that contributes to 1/3 of our food supply. We need more beekeepers willing to step up to the front lines in this battle, but we need to empower and enable them to continue. We need to give them the weaponry to succeed. We need fewer former beekeepers with vacant, used equipment hoping for "some day when..." In this day and age of CCD and our struggles to keep hives alive, what are the practical steps to keep us keeping honey bees? What can we do to minimize the variables which befuddle and scatter? How do we weather the factors beyond our control, the outside influences of weather and availability of resources?
Download or read book Bad Beekeeping written by Ron Miksha and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A million pounds of honey. Produced by a billion bees! This memoir reconstructs the life of a young man from Pennsylvania as he drops into the bald prairie badlands of southern Saskatchewan. He buys a honey ranch and keeps the bees that make the honey. But he also spends winters in Florida swamps, nurse-maid to ten thousand dainty queen bees. From the dusty Canadian prairie to the thick palmetto swamps of the American south, the reader meets with simple folks who shape the protagonist's character - including a Cree rancher with three sons playing NHL hockey, a Hutterite preacher who yearns to roam the globe, a reclusive bee-eating homesteader, and a grey-headed widow who grows grapefruit, plays a nasty game of scrabble, and lives with four vicious dogs. Encompassing a ten-year period, this true story evolves from the earnest inexperience of the young man as he learns an art and builds a business. Carefully researched natural biology runs counterpoint to human social activities. Bee craft serves as the setting for expositions that contrast American and Canadian lifestyles, while exemplifying the harsh reality of a man working with and against the physical environment.
