Description

Marina Marchese’s inspirational and practical story of learning to raise honeybees and creating a life she loves.

“[An] engaging, delightfully informative work.” – Publishers Weekly

“Marchese has given us a lovely gift. Honeybee is an entertaining and useful primer for the novice and honeybee devotee alike.” – Washington Times

“Surpassing the predictable “how I changed careers” memoir of finding the good life, Marchese’s informative guide is packed with facts about the whole thing from pollination to harvesting, life cycles to historical lore, nutritional benefits to gourmet flavor combinations, medical applications to peculiar varieties.” – Booklist

Marina Marchese fell in love with bees throughout a tour of a neighbor’s honeybee hives. She quit her job, acquired her own bees, built her own hives, harvested honey, earned a certificate in apitherapy, studied wine tasting in an effort to transfer those skills to honey tasting, and in the end opened her own honey business. Today, Red BeeĀ® Honey sells artisanal honey and honey-related products to shops and restaurants everywhere the country.

More than an inspiring story of one woman’s transformative relationship with honeybees (some of nature’s most fascinating creatures), Honeybee could also be bursting with information about all aspects of bees, beekeeping, and honey?including life inside the hive; the role of the queen, workers, and drones; pollination and its importance to sustaining all life; the culinary pleasures of honey; hiving and keeping honeybees; the ancient practice of apitherapy, or healing with honey, pollen, and bee venom; and a lot more.

Recipes for food and personal care products appear during. Also included is a superb, one-of-a-kind appendix that lists 75 different honey varietals, with information on provenance, tasting notes, and food-and-wine pairings.
