Tara Chapman: For the Bees

You’ve probably heard about Two Hives – maybe gone to a honey tasting or a hive tour – or read in these pages about how founder Tara Chapman worked for the CIA before becoming all about the apiarian life. She pours all that hard-won know-how into her brand new UT Press release For the Bees: A Handbook for Happy Beekeeping. Intended for newbies and more experienced beekeepers alike, the book devotes chapters to honeybee biology and nutrition, seasonal guides, and queen bee psychology. Check her out in conversation with Brad Booker at 7pm. – Kimberley Jones
