The honeybee that you see dancing from flower to flower in farms and gardens actually originated in Europe. The introduction of the honeybee began with European colonization of the Americas; before that, wild native bees, other insects, and some birds and mammals pollinated the native flowers of the continent. The honeybee's ability to pollinate crops, produce honey, and be easily domesticated precipitated the growth in beekeeping all over America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fully illustrated with how-to photography and unique etchings, any backyard enthusiast or gardener can confidently dive into beekeeping with this book in hand (or daydream about harvesting their own honey while relaxing in the comfort of an armchair).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard A.
