Bee populations are plummeting. The solution? Give them what they need to live naturally, and they'll handle the rest.

Susan Knilans and Jacqueline Freeman are in love with bees. So in love that they observe their bees - their work, communication, seasonal activity, and more - for hours each day. And with observation came realization: When bees are allowed to live as they would in nature (with smaller hives, no chemicals, freedom to swarm, and little-to-no human interference), they will thrive. Accordingly, Knilans and Freeman have spent decades perfecting the revolutionary practice of preservation beekeeping, guided by the simple question, "What do the bees want?"

A must-listen, this instructional book tells the story of their successes and failures, demonstrating what was learned along the way. Sharing preservation beekeeping's key tenets, the authors provide concrete, simple ways to implement their approach, from finding the right hive location to honing observation skills. This preservation manifesto is a vital addition to any beekeeper's library, imparting all the joys of a beekeeper's life.

I am researching bees before aquiring a colony. My goal is to raise bees in a natural, sustainable and clean way, being able to provide good pollination to my area, as well as provide my family with a clean and natural source of honey and beeswax. I was hoping this book would bring some insightful knowledge before I begin my own bee colonies. But a quater way into the book and it's reading more like a romantic love affair than an insightful source of useful information. Don't get me wrong, there has been some good info, but it is surrounded by so much emotion and fluff that I can't stand to listen anymore. This may be a good book for some, but if you are more interested in gaining knowledge and insight to apply to your own beekeeping experince, look elsewhere.

Too much emotion
