The Barefoot Beekeeper

The Barefoot Beekeeper was the title of my first book, published in 2007. Since then, I have written several more books, aimed at people who want to keep bees in a simple, reasonably natural way, without investing a lot of money and free from the synthetic chemical treadmill.

This podcast is irregular, variable in content and hopefully somewhat useful and interesting to beekeepers of all flavours.

You can find my website at www.biobees.com and you will find me on Facebook and rarely on Twitter.

The Barefoot Beekeeper - Episode 2

Feb 17, 2010

Continuing the theme of 'natural beekeeping for beginners', this time I take a look at the various types of hive you can choose from, including the pros and cons of each. Also some thoughts about so-called 'stimulative feeding', and some words about women!

re: Women

Are the women in the meetings also middle aged like most of the male population at them? I suppose I qualify as middle-aged (45) so I may be right in the middle of the demographic. ;)

As for women\'s outlook vs. men\'s, I expect that the real difference is the backyard beeks vs. the commercial ones. Possibly more women are likely to take up backyard beekeeping than commercial, and thus have a more gentle approach.
