Description

More and more people, including teens, are discovering the pleasures and rewards of keeping honeybees. In addition to the sweet honey they produce, bees are critical for pollinating many plants and food crops. In this entertaining and enlightening title, the author first provides general information about bees and how honeybee societies work. A how-to guide on the art of beekeeping follows, with information on gathering the necessary clothing and equipment, setting up and caring for a hive, and harvesting honey. Threats to honeybee health and survival, which have become an important environmental issue, are also addressed. After a taste of this fascinating hobby, teens can decide if they're ready to enter the world of beekeeping!
