Manual for Beekeeping – the Warré technique

This book provides reliable and complete information for setting-up a beehive using the Warré technique. It details the essential phase of bee observation, a primordial key to success in beekeeping. The Warré hive is adapted above all to a naturalistic approach to beekeeping where production is not the main objective. The Warré hive technique focuses on understanding how bees and the colony function. It relies on the intelligence of the hive rather than on human interventionism, often expensive and somewhat out of sync. Warré’s method of hive management does indeed share the philosophy of permaculture.
