Beekeeping Tips

Abbé Émile Warré (1867-1951) - creator of the 'People's Hive'.

During 2012, a number of beekeepers shared their beekeeping tips with BuzzAboutBees.net readers, and two beekeepers received a copy of Dr David Heaf's 'The Bee Friendly Beekeeper', courtesy of Northern Bee Books.

Many thanks to Katharina Davitt for showing new beekeepers how to make a simple bee brush, and for the sage words of Tel Jensen - how to monitor a bee hive.
