    About this ebook

    All the Buzz for Beekeeping Beginners

    “The book oozes with bee facts and trivia….Bees do make good pets and this book is a gentle introduction to the world of backyard bee keeping.” —Patsy Bell Hobson, writer and master gardener emeritus

    #1 New Release in Entomology and Insects & Spiders

    What happens when a writer sets up a backyard beehive? You get a beekeeping book full of fun and fascinating facts about honey bees and our other favorite pollinators.

    A nature guide book for beekeeping beginners. Full of trivia, tips, legends, and lore—this quirky bee book swarms with interesting information, so you can have fun, learn stuff, grow your farm, or just relax. Writer and beekeeper Jack Mingo lives with half a million bees, and has picked up a thing or two at his bee farm. In this collection of humorous and often unusual observations, Mingo shows us a glimpse of the mystical and matriarchal world of bees.

    The save the bees sign you’ve been looking for. How many legs do bees have? Enough not to crowd your bed at night. They don't track mud or bugs into your house, and they won’t bark and whine. They even greet you with raw honey and beeswax. And these are just some of the reasons bees make the best pets of all. Whether you’re a beekeeping beginner, looking to save the bees, or interested in fun nature facts about bugs and insects, there’s something here for every nature lover.

    Step into Mingo’s hive for tidbits like:

    • Fun and interesting tips and tricks for beekeeping beginners
    • Knowledge about the color, quality, and benefits of local honey
    • The history and legendary stories of bees, like the role they played in the Civil War and the Legend of the Caroling Bees

    If you liked Beekeeping for Dummies, The Beekeeper’s Handbook, or Beekeeping for Beginners, you’ll love Bees Make the Best Pets.

      Creative Fun On The Farm

      Jul 10, 2020

      Too often, people think a farm is a place of drudgery that can’t feed the creative human spirit. So, when I was asked to write about creativity, music, and art on the farm, I felt inadequate to the task at first, since I’m known as a workaholic. I tr
