Do women beekeep differently? Undine Westphal answers this question with a resounding yes! The enthusiastic beekeeper not only set up a school apiary several years ago, which she runs with great success, but the author has also made a name for herself with her other two textbooks and many lectures. In her numerous courses for adults - especially for women - she has come to the realization that there are definitely differences in beekeeping between men and women. The budding beekeeper is given a step-by-step explanation of all the important work on the bee colony in a knowledgeable and very detailed manner. Undine Westphal also goes into details that often cause beginners difficulties in practice. This competent introduction is rounded off with recipes - with honey, of course - for the kitchen and medicine cabinet. This Informational books, which always addresses the "women's question" in a well-dosed and tongue-in-cheek manner, is not only a "must-have" for aspiring female beekeepers - this book is also very helpful and worth reading for interested men.
