About this product

Product Information

Today's beekeepers face unprecedented challenges, a fact that is w front-page news with the spread of colony collapse disorder. Newly introduced pests like varroa and tracheal mites have made chemical treatment of hives standard practice, but pest resistance is building, which in turn creates demand for new and even more toxic chemicals. In fact, there is evidence that chemical treatments are making matters worse.
It's time for a new approach. In this set, which includes the new, full-color, Natural Beekeping, Revised and Expanded Edition, and a DVD workshop, Ross Conrad brings together the best do harm strategies for keeping honeybees healthy and productive, all of which are covered in a thoughtful, matter-of-fact way.

- The basics of bee biology and anatomy;
- Urban beekeeping;
- Identifying and working with queens;
- Parasitic mite control; and
- Hive diseases.
Also, a completely new chapter on marketing provides valuable advice for anyone who intends to sell a wide range of hive products.
