Bill Turnbull had no intention of becoming a beekeeper. But
when he saw an ad for beekeeping classes–after a swarm of
bees landed in his suburban backyard–it seemed to be a sign.
Despite being stung on the head–twice–at his first hands-on
beekeeping class, Turnbull found himself falling in love
with the fascinating, infuriating honeybee. As a new beekeeper, Turnbull misplaced equipment for months,
got stung more times–and in more places–than he cares to
remember, and once even lost some bees up a chimney. But he
kept at it, with a ready sense of humor and Zen-like
acceptance of every mishap. And somehow, along the way, he
learned a great deal about himself and the world around him. Confessions of a Bad Beekeeper chronicles Turnbull’s
misadventures (and brief moments of triumph) in the curious
world of backyard beekeeping–and also highlights both the
threat to our bee population and what we can do to help
these vital little creatures do their wonderful work.
