| Summary |
The popular host of BBC Breakfast recounts his many misadventures as a backyard beekeepeŕђؤ"A truly wonderful read" (Diana Sammataro, PhD, coauthor of The Beekeeper's Handbook ). Bill Turnbull had no intention of becoming a beekeeper. But when he saw an ad for beekeeping classeśђؤafter a swarm of bees landed in his suburban backyard́ђؤit seemed to be a sign. Despite being stung on the head́ђؤtwicéђؤat his first hands-on beekeeping class, Turnbull found himself falling in love with the fascinating, infuriating honeybee. As a new beekeeper, Turnbull misplaced essential equipment, got stung more timeśђؤand in more placeśђؤthan he cares to remember, and once even lost some bees up a chimney. But he kept at it, with a ready sense of humor and Zen-like acceptance of every mishap. And somehow, along the way, he learned a great deal about himself and the world around him. Confessions of a Bad Beekeeper chronicles Turnbull's often hilarious and occasionally triumphant adventures in the curious world of backyard beekeeping. Along the way, he offers plenty of hard-won apiarian wisdom and highlights both the threat to our bee population and what we can do to help these vital little creatures do their wonderful work. |
