“This was the perfect book for bringing together information that I had learned in Bee Keeping Club & at the hive. I had read several books before stumbling onto “Honeybee”, and this was the one that made everything click. It is packed with facts I needed to know as a beekeeper, and practical story vignettes I could relate to. A wonderful companion for my journey! I think every beekeeper should own a copy!”
~ Angie Hicks, Founder Angie’s List ~

 

“Honeybee is a delightful book, filled with love and passion and fascinating information about one of the most important (and neglected) links in the food production chain: bees! Highly recommended!”
~ Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth ~

 

“A delightful read, packed with useful information and charming stories, Honeybee will tell you everything you need to know to get started in beekeeping. More important, it will make you want to: Marina Marchese’s enthusiasm is infectious.”
~ Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honeybee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis ~

 

“Honeybee brings a greater appreciation of both [honey] and the little creatures that deliver it. A simple food turns out not to be so simple after all; as I am to honey itself, I found myself a little stuck to this book.”
~ Max McCalman, Dean of Curriculum, Artisanal Premium Cheese, and author of The Cheese Plate, Cheese: A Connoisseur’s Guide to the World’s Best, and Mastering Cheese ~

 

“C. Marina Marchese’s deeply felt love and appreciation for the honeybee, the ancient craft of beekeeping, and the exquisite delicacy known as honey leaps from these pages. From her backyard in Connecticut to the Amalfi coast of Italy her personal journey provides a wonderful introduction to the world of the honeybee.”
~ Ross Conrad, author of Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture ~

 

“Marina Marchese’s Honeybee: Lesson from an Accidental Beekeeper is a charming and informative passage to the hive from the beginning to end. Especially helpful are the appendices to guide novice and experienced beekeepers in honey varietals, pairings, and labels. It’s a perfect bee primer for all audiences.”
~ Tammy Horn, author of Bees in America: How the Honey Bee Shaped a Nation ~
