Publisher's summary

The most joyful emanation produced by a colony of bees is known as the "song of increase" - declaring that the hive is flourishing and the bees are happy in its abundance. Song of Increase takes us inside the world of the honeybee to glean the wisdom of these fascinating creatures with whom humanity has shared a sacred bond for millennia.

Within these minutes is a bee-centric approach to living with honeybees, rather than advice for simply maximizing the products they provide. Jacqueline Freeman takes us beyond traditional beekeeping and offers a way to work in harmony with honeybees for both their good and ours. "Our way is one of kind observation," she explains. "Where we create supportive homes and fields for bees to live in, and tend the heartfelt relationships we form by being together."

Song of Increase focuses on hidden aspects of apiculture that lead us naturally to more sustainable practices. Freeman illuminates the unity consciousness that guides every action in the colony and how this profound awareness can influence the way we see both the natural world and ourselves. Each chapter presents a wealth of information about the life of bees, including Freeman's personal insights and direct teachings received from the bees themselves.

Deeply insightful and wise

I am in love with this book
This book weaves together facts about hives with the magic of Nature's true wisdom embodied in honeybees.
this is why we know intuitively and factually how cri'tical bees are for our own civilization and for our scoeity and Nature's systems.

Rich and insightful!

I’ve enjoyed every word of wisdom. Jacqueline brings offers her sensibility to us in a meaningful way for beekeeper and enthusiasts. The voice of the bees transmit a message for humankind as a whole.

It’s a great reading for those looking to a new perspective into how nature functions and organizes.

Bright me a new field to explore an act.
