Human interaction with honey bees. Aside from serious beekeeping, what does it all mean? What ‘rules’ do people think apply? What ‘wisdom’? What do onlookers and would-be beekeepers imagine to be true? How are honey bees understood in genres such as self-sufficiency, natural history, mythology, and spiritual practice? And, when all is said and done, what is the actual and personal experience of keeping bees?

Kirk Goodreads has other lists of books on beekeeping. This list aims to gather literature from the wider field of interest. These books may or may not be well-informed by the actual and sustained practice of keeping bees.

Experienced beekeepers know that the real test is in keeping the bees alive for more than the first 2-3 years. Unfortunately, many books written on the subject are based on limited (and initially successful) efforts.
