Bee People and the Bugs They Love by Frank Mortimer
A fascinating foray into the obsessions, friendships, scientific curiosity, misfortunes and rewards of suburban beekeeping - through the eyes of a Master Beekeeper... Who wants to keep bees? And why? For the answers, Master Beekeeper Frank Mortimer invites readers on a journey into the secret world of bees, and the singular world of his fellow beekeepers. In connecting with this club of disparate but kindred spirits, Frank discovers the centuries-old history of the trade; the practicality of maintaining it; what bees see, think, and feel; and what can be done to combat their biggest threats.
Frank Mortimer is an adjunct instructor at the Cornell University Master Beekeeping Program, Vice President of the New Jersey State Beekeepers Association, and a certified master beekeeper. As president of the Northeast NJ Beekeepers Association since 2011, he has significantly grown his club's membership; aligned the Northeast NJ Beekeepers with Ramapo College; founded the Honey Cup, an annual honey tasting competition, and promoted beekeeping throughout the Northeast. Frank has published multiple articles in Bee Culture Magazine and has led beekeeping seminars across New Jersey and at The New York Botanical Garden. In addition, he successfully campaigned for his hometown of Ridgewood to become New Jersey's first Bee City USA. Frank is married, has three children, and beekeeping is something the whole family enjoys doing together.
