Honeybee Tales shares the ups and downs of a beginning beekeeper's venture into natural beekeeping. It was originally published as a chapter in a collective paperback work entitled Critter Tales. But, as is the way with caring for critters, the tales are ongoing. Honeybee Tales is no exception. This new edition has been updated, expanded, and revised to include those new tales, as well as more information about honeybees and natural beekeeping.
