Description

Backyard Beekeepers of the Bay Area is a timely and thoughtful look at the current state of the honeybee and the urban apiculture movement in the Bay Area. Not only does it give a glimpse into the dazzling world of the honeybee, it is also a compelling and inspiring portrait of a cultural urban movement by backyard and rooftop beekeepers to protect the honeybee. In its finest moments, the book brims with near-poetic reverence for both the honeybee and her geographical setting, making it a captivating and delightful read. The heart of the book is based on numerous interviews conducted with Bay Area beekeepers, ranging from novice beekeepers to life-long professionals, providing an intimate look at the beekeepers’ scientific, philosophical, and spiritual approaches to this ancient art. The book provides options for getting involved in supporting the local honeybee movement, including suggestions for planting bee-friendly gardens and resources for those wishing to begin their own bee colonies. Backyard Beekeepers of the Bay Area is an urgent call-to-arms, which manages to convey the seriousness of the plight of the honeybee while keeping the tone of the book light and positive, inspiring readers into action rather than frightening them to do so. Beautifully illustrated by the author’s sister.
