The World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting

First published in 1999, this 2011 reprint edition brings this title to many beekeepers who were unable to obtain the earlier edition. The World History is the first book to explore in detail man’s use of bees from prehistoric times to the present day. It is a seminal work and will remain so as long as books are read. ​​Eva Crane (1912-2007) was a scientist, and Director of the International Bee Research Association (IBRA) from 1949 to 1984 when she retired to concentrate on her writing. In the course of her many travels she obtained first-hand knowledge of traditional and modern beekeeping in some sixty countries, and also honey hunting where it was still practised.
