Urban Beekeeping

“Urban Beekeeping can be read in one sitting to learn how to bring the natural landscape into our cities – or as a reference book to go back to when you can’t work out why you don’t have as much honey as last year. Through it, Cormac takes his readers on the journey of creating a thriving urban hive – from what species are best, to setting up the apiary, what flowers bees are partial to, what sort of hives suit different environments and managing hives.“

“Urban Beekeeping is an easy read filled with beautiful photographs, entertaining stories and clear how-to information, making this an instruction manual to adapt your urban surrounds to a haven for native bees, honey bees and other pollinators.”

Cormac Farrell is an environmental scientist and beekeeper, best known as the Head Beekeeper for the Australian Parliament. He manages several apiaries and orchards throughout Canberra, creating unique food experiences that educate and inspire, pushing the boundaries of what cities can produce.
