Reviews

Winner of a Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best Book on Honey in CanadaAn April 2020 Loan Stars Buzz Book"If you think beekeeping is a quick and easy shortcut to wealth, this book will set you straight. . . honest and often witty . . . a light read on the pleasures and pains of a beekeeper that will give you new respect for all the work--by two- and six-legged laborers alike--that goes into producing the spoonful of honey you stir into your tea." --New York Times"Beauty and joy, for sure, bees do offer. But Doroghy is differently compelled. He continues because of knowledge, but not the typical sort . . . By 'carefully observing and respecting their world as an accidental apiarist might, ' he finds he can discover from bees 'how to navigate the complex, much more dysfunctional hive of humans swarming over Planet Earth.' . . . He learns about himself and what he could be." --New York Journal of Books
