Title from disc label; credits from screen. "A hands-on workshop in the field from master beekeeper Les Crowder, focusing on how to manage bees naturally using the innovative top-bar hive system."--Container. With Les Crowder and Heather Harrell.
Summary:
Describes the use of the top-bar hive design which allows bees to naturally construct their own wax combs rather than relying on prefabricated frames and plastic cells. This low-stress method is being used to raise healthy bees organically, without the use of antibiotics, miticides, or other chemical inputs.
