"Foraging Afar" Tales from A Decade of Beekeeping Across the World Perfect
by William Blomstedt (Author, Illustrator)
Black lava rocks in Hawaii. A darkened gas station in Italy. The rooftops of Morocco. What do all these places have in common? Bees.
In Foraging Afar: Tales from a Decade of Beekeeping Across the Globe, William Blomstedt recaptures his experiences traveling as a commercial beekeeper to many different countries around the world from the green pastures of New Zealand to the ancient temples of Thailand looking for the next bee adventure.
These tales will make you laugh as his beekeeping buddies pass the time at a vacant airport in rural Montana, and they will make you cry when the hives he is transporting topple along a Texas highway. Most important, these stories will show you how beekeepers work and live all over the world.
April's Book, The Africanized Honey Bees in the Americas, by Dewey Caron was totally awesome!
Caron's discussion on bee genetics, characterisitics and behaviors reminds us that all bees share a common heritage and that we can learn about the bees we keep and manage by studying the "scary" and invasive Afircanized bee. The history, public media and stories of how beekeeping changed country by country are fascinating. Did you know one way discussed to keep the spread of Africanzied bees contained invlolved a nuclear option? If you find this book on sale- GRAB IT!
