The Rooftop Beekeeper

a Scrappy Guide to Keeping Urban Honeybees
Mar 01, 2015
Locavores and city gardeners will be all a-buzz over this attractive introduction to urban beekeeping. Despite a childhood fear of the stinging insects, author Megan Paska has become an adventurous New York City beekeeper who puts readers at ease with her chatty tone before diving in to the nitty-gritty of bee biology and hive management (complete with checklists and how-tos). As if that wasn't enough, the book winds up with a chapter of recipes for turning honey or beeswax into salves, candles, or tasty edibles. With color photographs as well as charming retro-modern illustrations, The Rooftop Beekeeper is just as lovely as it is useful. Home, Garden and DIY March 2015 newsletter.
