RIVER COTTAGE HANDBOOK 19: BEES AND HONEY (HB)

This practical handbook will enable you to establish a colony of honeybees and understand exactly what is going on inside the hive. You'll be guided month by month through the bees' year and be given instructions for sustainably harvesting the products of their hard work. And once you have retrieved your first pot of delicious honey, there are recipes for cakes and buns, sauces and marinades, and drinks and tonics, as well as some creative ideas for using the beeswax. With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and plenty of clear step-by-step photography.
