Brother Adam O.B.E., D.Sc. was undeniably one of the world's leading authorities on the races and strains of honeybees. His world-wide travel in search of bees and his beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey have inspired vast admiration.In this work we learn of the philosophy, the science and the practice of his life's work - honey production and bee breeding.

When amateur wine making was at it's height Clara Furness penned these pages. A long series of articles appeared in the British Bee Journal, and many Beekeepers' and Winemakers' Associations in the South will remember her demonstrations and talks.​​ A handbook which encourages all beekeepers to see mead making as a natural consequence of keeping bees.

The Dadant name is familiar to beekeepers throughout the world as one of the principal manufacturers of beekeeping supplies, and the publisher of The American Bee Journal, for more than 150 years.This book tells the story of Charles Dadant, "that Bee Man from Champagne", who at the age of 46 left France to begin a new life in America in 1863, bringing his family after him.From hard and hungry beginnings, Charles and later his son Camille, built up a successful business selling honey, beeswax and Italian queens. Charles also developed the large Dadant hive, contributed energetically to bee journals and cooperated with Langstroth on updating the latter's seminal Hive and the Honeybee.This life of Dadant was compiled in about 1930 by Kent Pellett, who learnt many fascinating details from Charles's son Camille.

Horizontal hives with frames are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America.One of these is the golden hive or Einraumbeute, developed at Mellifera Association in Germany, based on Dadant-size frames rotated ninety degrees. The resulting deep format allows for a vertically uninterrupted brood nest and a deep honey crown that is good for wintering. This book describes modifications to the golden hive to buffer the colony against heat/cold extremes as does a tree cavity. With the help of many pictures, details are given of how to make the hive, followed by highlights of running it untreated for varroa over six seasons. A few other modified golden hive projects are also mentioned.About the authorAfter retiring from research biochemistry to north-west Wales, David Heaf took up hobby beekeeping in 2003. He runs about 10 colonies in Warré hives and several in other hive types. In 2010, Northern Bee Books published his book The Bee Friendly Beekeeper and again invited him to write two other books, Natural Beekeeping with the Warré Hive - A Manual and Treatment-Free Beekeeping, (IBRA & NBB) which they published in 2013 and 2021 respectively.
