Books related to bees and beekeeping
Val's father, Norman Chapman's put together a book of DIY projects 'Constructive Beekeeping' developed over many years to help with his beekeeping tasks. During the course of this, they realised his photos of the frames of bees in his hive made an interesting book 'Inside a Beehive'. Another of Norman's interests in bees resulted in his 'Pollen Microscopy' book, all compiled, edited and published by Val. All available from Amazon, or direct from Val.
Illustrated Bee Garden Journal
My garden is a natural magnet to wild bees but it could do with more bee-friendly plants.
Each year I take photos and sketch bees outside, surrounded by their wonderful buzz in the air - always with plans to record who is visiting but mostly to enjoy the atmosphere they bring to the garden.
