Honey From The Earth

The most visually stunning view of worldwide beekeeping and honey hunting ever produced. Shot over 10 years in 23 countries on six continents. Internationally acclaimed photography by Eric Tourneret is complemented by insightful stories by leading honey bee experts from around the world. The book documents the amazing diversity of beekeeping methods: honey hunting off of cliffs and gigantic trees in Asia (Nepal, India, Indonesia); tree hive beekeeping in Russia; skep beekeeping in Germany; log hives in France, Mexico, and Turkey; industrial beekeeping in China and the US; honey hunting in Congo and Cameroon; traditional beekeeping in Ethiopia; migratory beekeeping in Romania and Argentina; organic honey production in Australia; manuka honey from New Zealand; urban beekeeping in Paris, New York, London, and Berlin; stingless bees of Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico; beehouse beekeeping in Slovenia and Switzerland, and much more. Experts that contributed to this volume include Dr. Tom Seeley (Cornell University), Kirk Webster (USA), Jurgen Tautz (Germany), David Roubik (Panama/USA), and others. The beautiful photography is both inspiring and calling into question our modern agricultural and land-use practices that threaten the bees¿ survival, and ours. A tribute to the natural and cultural diversity of this planet, Honey From The Earth is also a plea to conserve this fragile beauty.
