A review by ifersinklings
Bees and Their Keepers by Lotte Möller, Frank Perry
informative
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.0
I receive an audio ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a highly informative and interesting look at bees and the people that have kept bees throughout history. I learned a lot about bees, bee keeping, and bee keepers. I was also surprised that it was such a divisive hobby. The keepers are very passionate about the methods used, the honey collection process, the wintering process, and the type of hives used. I also chuckled every time the Great Tit bird was mentioned. I had no idea that birds eat bees and that they have perfected a method to obtain them from the hives.
My two complaints about this book are that it was so short and seemed to just end abruptly.
