Book [II] by Brother Adam: Buckfast. Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey

Book [II] by Brother Adam: Buckfast. Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey

Knowledge of apiary management is passed down from generation to generation. Some practices are improved, but the general rules of care remain consistent. They form the basis of beekeeping, as described in the second part of Brother Adam’s book, Buckfast. Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey.

The book is based on 60 years of experience and the ongoing research of the author and his assistants, who worked to improve the apiary, its management methods and the achievement of high honey yields. These methods have been tested and recognised by hundreds of beekeepers who follow Brother Adam’s advice.

Whereas the first book by Brother Adam: "Buckfast, Breeding and Genetics" focuses more on theory, the second book is about practice.

The contents of the second book are divided into three sections:

1. General supervision of the apiary;
2. Seasonal work in the apiary;
3. Breeding and rearing queen bees

In addition, Brother Adam’s book Buckfast. Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey presents further facts that should be taken into account when managing an apiary.

The book’s content is clear and easy to understand. It contains a great deal of useful information that will be valuable both to experienced beekeepers and to beginners.
