🍃Go tell it to the Bees
Ye olde Tradition of telling the Bees, is one that is still done to this day. Tis known that it be the Bee keepers duty to tell the Bees of any news that needs to be told. Such things like weddings, death or birth must be told to the Bees🍃
🍃And, they do say that if the Bees aren’t told of such things, Well, there be trouble indeed. Why, the Bees would surely take to rest and not produce honey, or they would leave the hive or in the worst case they would sadly pass away🍃

I invite you to read the second edition of my book " My Happy Bees".
From the links at the end of this post you can buy my book, and from the very last link you can DOWNLOAD THE BOOK FOR FREE.
Although the book describes many interesting practical techniques, however, all this is not the main thing. The most important thing in the book an unusual idea, an unusual reason for conducting beekeeping.
(The most important thing is the bee and the world around it, the honey will always be there. Please note that the reason for conducting beekeeping is not in the extraction of honey, but to preserve the nature around us with the help of bees. Harmony and the bee is primary, with honey will always be in abundance.) This idea is fundamentally changing the relationship between beekeeper and bee, filling their relationship with mutual love and respect. Gives the beekeeper an opportunity to feel involved in bee magic. Fills beekeeper heart with meaning and the joy of being alive. This feeling warms the heart and pleases the soul.
I believe that when this idea prevails among beekeepers, our World, our Earth as a whole will be happier and kinder. I sincerely want our Planet to become better, and our World to become warmer, kinder and more harmonious.
The first review of the second edition of my book was published on the Amazon website in the UK.
And he is valuable because he wrote this review beekeeper. Here is his opinion about my book: "Very interesting . A refreshing look at bees with some innovative yet common sense ideas. I read this as a beekeeper and shall incorporate this knowledge into my care regime."( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R1BJM9M627T6ST/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07DWZTBQY)
A good review was left on the Australian Amazon website, apparently by a local beekeeper.
That's what he wrote: "Persuasive augument from a careful and thoughtful beekeeper that spur the reader on to practise what was learned. A highly recommended reading for all aspiring and even seasoned beekeepers. Well presented and well reasoned conclusion not found in beekeeping guide books." (https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/customer-reviews/RSYP6AXLG376U/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B07DWZTBQY)
Here is another review of the second edition of my book from my dear reader, Rick Warner
"I’ve read the book, great read. The parts at interest me the most is finding the perfect place to place your bees, and the way that you feed them to make them strong. Peter has a way of bring you in to his garden and his happy bees are there to enjoy. This is a book that you’ll want to read over and over. Written from the heart of a true beekeeper. Peter changes the way we see bees and the world around us. Thank you Peter for sharing your knowledge and writing it down for generations to read." (https://www.facebook.com/PR.Grayman/posts/1359660420840154)
I am pleased to receive such reviews, because they reflect the essence of my book and give me a pleasant feeling of usefulness of my Work and hope that there will be more Happy Bees in the world.

I just saw a post by someone named Cynthia Hayes Luther on One Man's Junk Montgomery County looking for local honey, in case anyone has some to sell. The post was made Thursday.
Hello. I currently live in Holly Springs. I purchased some property in Montgomery County where I hope to start the next phase of my life. My hope is to raise honey bees and participate in local meetings.
This fall Cindy and I took Shirley Harris' Intermediate Beekeeping Class at MCC. During one of the meetings Shirley gave out samples of "Bee Culture's BEEKeeping Your First Three Years" magazine. Since we are still in our first year of keeping bees, I decided to subscribe. Our first issue arrived yesterday. As I sat down to look through it this evening I found this on page 41:
Thinking about a bee school in the spring? Here are some questions you should ask, and information you need BEFORE you sign up for any bee school.
