Description

Tuchman shares the significant difference between beekeeping methods that exploit the honeybee for human agribusiness and alternative methods to beekeeping that are in line with the instincts and natural idiosyncrasies of the honeybees themselves.  The amazing results, as it turns out, are found at heart in the relationship and communication between the honeybee and the human—that when we listen to what the bees are telling us, only then are we guided to best provide for the bees’ needs in the physical world.
