Recenzii
[A]n important quality of this book is the energy which flows through and which can almost be felt physically. Somehow, the author managed to successfully plug into the energies of hundreds and thousands of innovators and numerous beekeepers through the thousands of years long history of beekeeping. He successfully transferred a great part of this energy to us, the readers.
A fascinating book for everyone concerned with understanding the origins of beekeeping as practised today in North America and UK.
Kritsky covers it all in this profusely illustrated, easy to read book. ... Anyone remotely interested in the history of beekeeping should have this book.
Salted with anecdotes and facts, Kritsky weaves an excellent chronicle of man's time with the bees. Here is a great read for the beekeeper as well as the curious historian.
This is one of those books that will become a classic of beekeeping literature for its content, design, illustrations, and pure quality of the writing. No beekeeper should be without it.
Charming.
A concise and in-depth look at the development of beehives over the centuries. Any beekeeper, potential recruit or gardener will find this nuts-and-bolts history of hives, man, and honey, with illustrations, useful.
We may be overdue for a new revolution in hive design, and Gene Kritsky's comprehensive look at past innovations is a great place to start.
In this charming book, entomology professor Kritsky (who describes himself as 'stung with the love of bees') incorporates material gathered over decades, from all over the world, to present a lively history of beekeeping. ... Kritsky's passion for his subject translates into gentle yet clear prose, abundant historical illustrations, and careful explanations of what bees need to thrive, and how humans figured it out.
The book is easy to read and has a very pleasant style. It will certainly appeal to beekeepers and the content will be of interest to a much wider readership.
