Description

Biodynamic Beekeeping by Matthias ThunI commend this book to not only experienced beekeepers who would like to transition to a more bee friendly approach, but also beginners who, while having access in some form to instruction about basic beekeeping, do not want to be steered into the conventional, mechanistic apiculture that new generations of beekeepers are increasingly finding unsatisfactory.

“I commend this book to not only experienced beekeepers who would like to transition to a more bee-friendly approach, but also beginners who, while having access in some form to instruction about basic beekeeping, do not want to be steered into the conventional, mechanistic apiculture that new generations of beekeepers are increasingly finding unsatisfactory.”
– David Heaf. Author of The Bee-friendly Beekeeper & Natural Beekeeping with the Warré Hive

Modern beekeeping, influenced by new technologies and breeding methods, has increased honey production but left bee colonies weak and vulnerable to disease. With the alarming decline of the bee population raising concerns about an impending ecological crisis, many beekeepers are seeking a more sustainable way of caring for bees.

Biodynamic Beekeeping is the first book to offer practical instruction on caring for bees using biodynamic theories and methods. By considering the influence of the movement of the stars and the planets on the bees' natural habits, biodynamics encourages beekeepers to be more in tune with their bees indicating, for example, the best days on which to inspect colonies or gather honey.

This fascinating book offers beekeepers detailed advice and instruction on how to work more holistically, including:

  • the challenges and advantages of breeding queen bees
  • how to artificially induce swarming to propagate colonies
  • how to use biodynamic ashing techniques to combat varroa mites
  • instructions for making winter-feed according to current biodynamic thinking

Ideal for both experienced beekeepers seeking to convert to biodynamic methods and current biodynamic beekeepers, this readable book offers a unique and personal insight into the theory and practice of biodynamic beekeeping.

MATTHIAS THUN (1948-2020): The son of biodynamic pioneer Maria Thun, was an international expert on biodynamic beekeeping with over 50 years’ experience.

Good on sensitive skin
My husband and I both love this. Works so well on your hands after being in garden with tomato plants. This is my go to. If it were little cheaper, would be only soap we would use for everything! Also smells amazing!

Quality has gone way down from previous order
My first order was good but this last order had very little scent and had solid bits settled to one side and not distributed throughout the bar. I’m not sure if I want to continue buying this and I’m also concerned like everyone else that there’s no factual ingredient list.

Smells wonderful, but lacking a full ingredients list.
I have sensitivities in my household, and I've come to prefer products that have a full and transparent ingredients list. This soap does not offer one, only just the key ingredients featured on the outer packaging. Since I myself and some family members have to avoid certain ingredients in foods, drinks, and body products, transparency of ingredients means a lot to me. This soap has a delightful, soft, earthy scent that's clean and gentle, and not overwhelming. Don't let the patchouli throw you off- it doesn't smell like petrichor (wet dirt), it smells more of vanilla with powdery, earthy notes. It reminds me of the bags of vanilla flavored tobacco that my grandfather used to have around, and the scent is light, but long lasting on the skin. The soap bars are very soft, and oily to the touch when dry. I don't even need wet skin to get a lathering layer of this soap- I can rub it dry on my hands to get enough. I feel that if this bar were to exposed to water more frequently, it would quickly melt. The soap cleaves my skin feeling very fresh and clean, and isn't drying. I still prefer to use moisturizers, but my skin is dry in general. This soap does seem to help calm irritated skin and has not caused any irritation itself. I really like this soap, but I prefer to have full transparency of ingredients in my body products.
