The Spiritual Foundations of Beekeeping | Free Book
Iwer Thor Lorenzen
The honey bee has lived in close association with human beings for
millennia. Tragically, however, humanity's once intimate connection
with this unique creature has been harmed by our increasingly
utilitarian and exploitative dealings with the natural world. We are
now in urgent need of re-establishing a deeper relationship, not just
for the sake of the bees themselves but for the whole of nature – and
of course for ourselves.Lorenzen – a true master beekeeper – provides
numerous insights to enable a more fruitful engagement with the living
world. Offering an enrichment of the knowledge and practice of
beekeeping, he discusses the origins of the honey bee, its
relationship to the floral kingdom, the digestion of the bee, the
treatment of bee diseases as well as appropriate beekeeping
techniques. He also develops subtle spiritual concepts such as the
idea of the bee colony as an 'individuality' and 'group-soul',
providing new depth and wisdom to our understanding of how bees live
and work.This small book, a hidden gem that has never before appeared
in English, is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future
of the honey bee and the future of humanity.
