Guide from honeydew to forest honeyForest honey is a particularly popular type of honey, but hardly anyone knows that it is not made from the nectar of trees. Instead, it is produced by aphids that live on conifers such as spruce and fir. These lice bite the trees and feed on the sap in the bark. They excrete so-called honeydew via special glands. The bees collect this, carry it into the hive and store it in the combs.Peter Buchner has specialized in this subject and shares his extensive knowledge with all beekeepers in this unique book. He introduces the various "honey lice" and their life on the trees, shows the cycle of the animals and explains to beekeepers how they can use this method of forest honey extraction (walking with the bees). His knowledge is illustrated by impressive macro photographs of the aphids. Numerous color illustrations, 144 pages.
