Bees and Honey - Rachel de Thample

Expected: 24 June 2025

In this practical handbook Rachel de Thample tells you everything you need to know about setting up a hive in both rural and urban locations, keeping happy and healthy bees and harvesting golden pots of honey for use in your kitchen.

You will be enabled to establish a colony of honeybees, understand exactly what is going on inside the hive and be guided through the bee’s year month-by-month with instructions for sustainably harvesting the products of their hard work. And once you have retrieved your first pot of delicious honey, there are recipes for cakes and buns, sauces and marinades, and drinks and tonics, as well as some creative ideas for using the beeswax.
