    A beginner’s complete guide to keeping bees in top bar hives, and why. What’s the buzz about the growing popularity of backyard beekeeping? Providing habitat for bees, pollinating your garden, and producing honey for your family are some of the compelling reasons for taking up this exciting hobby. But conventional beekeeping requires a significant investment and has a steep learning curve. The alternative? Consider beekeeping outside the box.The Thinking Beekeeper is the definitive do-it-yourself guide to natural beekeeping in top bar hives. Based on the concept of understanding and working with bees’ natural systems as opposed to trying to subvert them, the advantages of this approach include:·      Simplicity, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness ·       Increased safety due to less heavy lifting and hive manipulation ·       Chemical-free colonies and healthy hives Top bar hives can be located anywhere bees have access to forage, and they make ideal urban hives. Emphasizing the intimate connection between our food systems, bees, and the well-being of the planet, The Thinking Beekeeper will appeal to the new breed of beekeeper who is less focused on maximizing honey yield, and more on ensuring the viability of the bee population now and in the coming years.Mother Earth News Books for Wiser Living Recommendation“You’ll find information you need here that’s not available anywhere else. Both you and your bees will benefit from Christy’s approach, advice, and philosophy.” —Kim Flottum, editor, Bee Culture Magazine“A unique and exceptional resource for the beginning beekeeper.” —Marty Hardison, top bar beekeeper, educator and international developmental beekeeping consultant

    This book details my once-in-a life experience in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, and Myanmar. In an effort to become more educated about the way of life of its peoples, I discovered that religion is such an important part of their everyday lives. Also, as the lands become more integrated into the mountains, the feeling of something spiritual becomes noticeable. Maybe it is the solitude, the peacefulness, or could it be that the Himalayas possess a certain mystique. My travels took me into the cities and congested streets where I mingled with the locals and learnt about their culture, the historical and important sacred temples that support the regions' religions, and the near isolation in the mountains. These Himalayan regions possess a certain magic that one cannot encounter or experience elsewhere in the World, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity I have been given to venture into these lands. Become enlightened. Chapters include: Kathmandu - Religion, Temples, Bars, Chaos and Pollution; Soul Searching and Trekking in Nepal, an unforeseen relationship; Keeping it sacred in Bhutan; The Road to Tibet; Like a Sudden Hope in the Dark Night of the Soul; Connecting the Dots
