Beautiful Book

This audiobook has opened my eyes to understanding the real nature of bees. Whenever I see bees around me, I tend to kill them because they distract me. I learned that bees are crucial and have tasks to create honey. I wouldn't be interested in working as a bee harvester, but I am blessed to learn what bees do and how they shape our society. Sometimes, bees can get people sick during the hot summer. The audiobook provides steps on how to protect yourself from getting infected by viruses. I love the story and advice I learned from this audiobook.

Beekeeping.

I want to highlight the organization of the book, which allows the material to be read in order from the beginning to professional advice that a "newbie" beekeeper may use. I want to give a recommendation.

Highly recommended.

The audiobook offers an in-depth guide on managing bees with the primary goal of keeping them safe, followed by the desire to make money off of honey and royal jelly. It may develop into a passion, a pastime, or even a lucrative one.

Great Crash Course

I've thought about beekeeping before, I have a couple friends who do it and it looks like a fun hobby. I really like the idea of being more self-sufficient and connected to nature. Having a source of honey and wax would be nice for both personal use and for trading things in a survival type situation. I really enjoyed learning about the history of beekeeping and the more practical aspects like the process to build my first hive and sourcing bees. This is a great crash course on beekeeping!
