Our friend, April Kirkendoll, just finished a book about beekeeping, “Thinking Outside The Box,” and included several of Nancy’s photographs (which, in this case, were created specifically for this project with April’s beehives).
As you may remember, we introduced April in what is now our blog post Notes About Bird Flamboyance And Behavior three years ago. Nancy happens to have some experience with honey beesabout, having kept conventional beehives for several years in South Miami. The two of them have discussed and practiced the hobby together on a number of occasions.
April has done extensive research and experimenting with topbar beehives, a different approach to beekeeping. I’ve only read four chapters so far, so I can’t yet give a full review or endorsement, but I really like what I’ve read. Just from her contribution to “Notes About Bird Flamboyance And Behavior,” you can see she has a less formal, easy-to-read style with some humor that still gives more depth than you are likely to find in other sources.
You can purchase “Thinking Outside The Box” (as well as her other books) from Amazon, or you can probably get a better price directly from her website (Lysmata Publishing). As I’ve mentioned before, we receive no consideration (i.e. money) for our remarks or from your purchases. Nonetheless, it is time to update our current long-term promotion (originally described in what is now “Notes About Bird Flamboyance And Behavior”).
