A fascinating study that “opens a window on the world of beekeeping and female beekeepers” (Lexington Herald-Leader). From Africa to Australia to Asia, women have participated in the pragmatic aspects of honey hunting and in the more advanced skills associated with beekeeping as hive technology has progressed through the centuries. Who are the women who keep bees and what can we learn from them? Beeconomy examines the fascinating evolution of the relationship between women and bees around the world. Bee expert Tammy Horn profiles female beekeepers, describing their work and how they manage it; the sense of community they enjoy; how beekeeping is relevant to questions about globalization and politics—and how it provides an opportunity for a new sustainable economy, one that takes into consideration environment, children, and family needs.
