  Are you fed up with poor quality, pesticide-laced, and overpriced fruits and vegetables at your supermarket? It’s time to start growing your own sustainable food garden!The catastrophes of climate change are upon us. We see floods, droughts, and wildfires on the news regularly.But have you ever stopped to think about the impact of these events on our food supply?Due to climate change, the number of bees and butterflies in Europe is declining rapidly. The US alone has lost 45.5% of its honey bee colonies from April 2020 to April 2021 according to a survey conducted by the nonprofit Bee Informed Partnership (BIP).Here’s why these numbers are so alarming: 75% of global crops rely on animal pollination.The UN World Food Programme reports 957 million people don’t have enough food. Unfortunately, without pollinators, this is only going to get worse.To compensate for the lack of pollinators, companies are using more and more chemicals to grow food, a practice that can result in serious health consequences.What if there was a way to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables right from your own backyard garden, attract native pollinators, and encourage them to thrive, resulting in more food in your kitchen?And what if we told you that it was far easier than you thought? Think of it as your own organic edible plants in your backyard garden landscape.In Your Self Sufficient Backyard Homestead Garden, you will discover:Exactly what pollinators are and why they are your garden’s best friend! How to create the perfect environment for a wide variety of native pollinators - design an organic garden that attracts bees, butterflies, and birds. A comprehensive guide on fruits, vegetables, and pollinator-loving flowers you can grow in any climate, including fine details on regions like the UK, the US, and Canada!The importance of hardiness zones, including how to determine which zone you live in and what this means for your backyard garden.

  A beekeeper and herbalist shares how you can use six products of the beehive: honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom. Not all new beekeepers realize that a honeybee hive produces a lot more than just honey. While your hard-working ladies will produce delicious honey, the hive as a whole also produces pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom; all very useful things for humans, if we know how to use them.The Benevolent Bee describes how and why the bees make these products, how they’ve been used by humans throughout the ages, and how beekeepers can harvest the products. It also presents simple do-it yourself recipes for using the products in health and wellness, body care, nutrition, and craft. You'll learn how to make salves for burns and a cough syrup from raw honey; how to make a tincture, an infused oil, and a mouthwash from propolis, the anti-bacterial “bee glue” that lines the inside of the hive; and much more. Get crafting now, it’s all already in your hive!

  In recent years, small Greece, often associated with ancient philosophers and marble ruins, whitewashed villages and cerulean seas, has been at the center of a debt crisis that has sown economic and social ruin, spurred panic in international markets, and tested Europe's decades-old project of forging a closer union. In The Full Catastrophe, James Angelos makes sense of contrasting images of Greece, a nation both romanticized for its classical past and castigated for its dysfunctional present. It goes beyond the transient coverage in the daily headlines to deliver an enduring and absorbing portrait of modern Greece.

  This is hands down the most controversial yet humorous book that will ever read on the subject of women who think and act like bitches. I am a woman myself so before you hastily jump to the conclusion that this book is some sort of misogynist rant about women rest assured that it is not. Instead it is a close examination of what you probably already know that women can be bitches. 
  In fact, there are many different types of bitches that exist in the world today. In this particular book I’ve have identified 20 such types and I discuss them in great detail. Some of the types you may be familiar with and others you may not be however, I’m almost certain that you have encountered at least one or two of these types of bitches in your life or perhaps you may even be one of them yourself. Nonetheless, strap yourself in and be prepared to be entertained and educated about the 20 types of bitches that exist in the world.
