As an experienced scientist applying himself to this ancient pastime, he brings a wealth of knowledge on the nature of bees and practical aspects of their upkeep. Healthy productive bees should be managed in a way that harness their natural instincts to maximise their wellbeing, an idea that recalls the old adage: \u003cem\u003eLook after your bees and they will look after you.\u003c\/em\u003e Honey bees, he says, should not be left to their own devices: one needs to be a keeper not an owner of bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book Wade outlines approaches to hive building with more than a single queen. They fall into two distinct categories: single-queen hives sharing common honey storage space and true multiple-queen hives hosting more than one queen. \u003cem\u003eA History of Keeping and Managing Doubled and Two-Queen Hives \u003c\/em\u003eexplains how a honey bee colony with a second laying queen can be established and operated. The book retraces the long journey of discovery of such hives, their propensity to produce rivers of honey as well as the limitations and problems that arise in their management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-355962\"\u003eAlan Wade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northern Bee Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914934162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914934164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TEC\"\u003eTechnology \u0026amp; Engineering\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TEC003100\"\u003eAgriculture | Beekeeping\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Bee Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522249552109,"sku":"9781914934162","price":37.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_735399ee-b099-4176-8575-b7a6462a1f06.jpg?v=1701302252","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/a-history-of-keeping-and-managing-doubled-and-two-queen-hives-9781914934162","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
