by Matthew Davison

What if the secret to healing our planet-and ourselves-was hidden inside a buzzing wooden box?

In The Beekeeper's Companion, Matthew Davison invites you into the captivating world of honeybees-not as a spectator, but as a steward. Whether you're planting your first wildflower or managing a dozen hives, this guide will help you become a more confident and compassionate beekeeper.

More than a manual, this is a journey through the seasons of beekeeping-from setting up your first hive to harvesting honey and preparing for winter. Along the way, Davison shares practical wisdom and soul-stirring reflections on what it truly means to keep bees.

Inside, you'll discover how to build, maintain, and expand a healthy hive; raise resilient bees using natural, sustainable methods; harvest pure honey without stress or harm; read the signs of your hive's needs through the seasons; prevent disease organically and boost hive immunity; and unlock the hidden language of bees that will change how you see the world.

Above all, The Beekeeper's Companion is about connection-to the bees, the land, and the ancient rhythms of nature.

With over two decades of experience, Matthew Davison teaches not just beekeeping, but belonging. His voice is part coach, part philosopher, and wholly inspiring-guiding readers from backyard beginners to seasoned keepers.

This isn't just a guide. It's a companion-walking with you hive by hive, season by season.
