Hitherto unknown to the Italian public, although published in 1975, this book in countries such as France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States has been considered a classic of beekeeping literature for decades. Told in the first person, we read in it the story of exceptional pioneering work in the field of 'bee breeding and selection, a tale that at the same time is an exemplary introduction to modern beekeeping. Easy and exciting, the book recounts sixty years of work, progress, and study, and is a very rich mine of reflections and practical advice on how to understand and practice beekeeping with excellent results in full and natural respect for bees, the environment, and human labor. "This book is not a manual, but a general account of beekeeping that we have developed at Buckfast. As you will observe every piece of equipment, every operation, every aspect of conducting has been designed to achieve the best possible results by aiming, on our part, to achieve minimum effort and maximum time savings. At the same time, we have tried to pay due regard to the bee's behaviors and instincts. Although it is endowed with a marvelous capacity for adaptation, it does not allow its immutable instincts and its truly amazing organization to be ignored without one later finding oneself paying the bitter consequences."
