Our focus and notoriety in recent years has been on information surrounding the industrious, beloved, mysterious honey bee and the art of its keeping. We've met with thousands of beekeepers, authors, scientists and enthusiasts, all of whom have been drawn together by a spark of curiosity and inspiration-and inspiration takes many forms. Within these pages, we have attempted to capture and cultivate that inspiration in a series of essays, poems and stories around the theme of beekeeping. Our contributors are not necessarily writers or beekeepers, though many are or will soon find themselves both. We invited their participation in the first ever Wicwas Press anthology with the belief that \"every beekeeper has a story to tell\" and we were not disappointed. With over 200 unique submissions to the effort by people from all walks of life, we are humbled by your response. We extend our thanks to everyone who participated, perhaps especially to those bold individuals whose works did not make the final cut. Every submission brought with it unique elements and, ultimately, I hope that we have gathered the most outstanding representatives of these diverse expressions. These collected works present themes spanning the breadth of all beekeepers' experiences and imagination, including stories that explore beekeeping through the generations, the joyful innocence natural curiosity, and curious flights of fancy, as well as some of the darkness they experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bemis Honey Bee Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33701201614,"sku":"9781878075451","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/8007\/files\/chew.jpg?v=1734990740"},{"product_id":"the-complete-bee-handbook","title":"\"The Complete Bee Handbook\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The Complete Bee Handbook: History, Recipes, Beekeeping Basics, and More\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback book published July 14, 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Dewey M.

He took up beekeeping in part to distract himself from the serious bouts of depression from which he suffered. In 1852 Langstroth received a patent on the first movable frame beehive in America. His inventions allowed beekeeping to be more cost effective and practical. He revolutionized the beekeeping industry by using bee space in his top opened hive. His was the first design to have comb that was enclosed on four sides by a wooden frame surrounded by a bee space that allowed for easy removal and reuse of the comb. In 1853, he published Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-Bee: A Bee Keeper's Manual (1853) which provided practical advice on bee management and, after more than 40 editions, is still in use today. Langstroth on the Honey-Bee was published in 1860.
