Gene Kritsky

2010 198 pages Hardback K800

Gene Kritsky is a beekeeper and entomologist who has investigated the history of hives, predominantly in the UK and USA. He observes, correctly, that while we have in recent years managed to sequence the honey bee genome, in these countries we continue to keep honey bees in hives that were developed over a century ago. The text is accompanied by many excellent images of hives and beekeepers from the 19th and 20th centuries, and extends to discussion of bee houses and the various beekeeping paraphernalia. A fascinating book for everyone concerned with understanding the origins of beekeeping as practised today in North America and UK.
