This small book is not just another textbook on beekeeping. It is not a textbook at all and does not even pretend to be any new word in the science of bees. It’s just that the author had an urgent need to share his experience and his thoughts, which some time ago prompted him to change his approach to working with these wonderful insects. We will talk here about the natural way of keeping bees, in which a person tries to reduce his intervention in their life to a minimum: feeds it with sugar, does not change the volume of the nest, abandoning the housings and extensions, does not treat the bee colony with any drugs, does not propagate artificially... In a word, it gives its pets maximum freedom to arrange their own lives.
