Song of Increase

Listening to the Wisdom of Honeybees for Kinder Beekeeping and a Better World

By: Jacqueline Freeman, Susan Chernak McElroy

Narrated by: Jacqueline Freeman, Robin Wise

The most joyful emanation produced by a colony of bees is known as the "song of increase" - declaring that the hive is flourishing and the bees are happy in its abundance. Song of Increase takes us inside the world of the honeybee to glean the wisdom of these fascinating creatures with whom humanity has shared a sacred bond for millennia.

Within these minutes is a bee-centric approach to living with honeybees, rather than advice for simply maximizing the products they provide. Jacqueline Freeman takes us beyond traditional beekeeping and offers a way to work in harmony with honeybees for both their good and ours. "Our way is one of kind observation," she explains. "Where we create supportive homes and fields for bees to live in, and tend the heartfelt relationships we form by being together."

Song of Increase focuses on hidden aspects of apiculture that lead us naturally to more sustainable practices. Freeman illuminates the unity consciousness that guides every action in the colony and how this profound awareness can influence the way we see both the natural world and ourselves. Each chapter presents a wealth of information about the life of bees, including Freeman's personal insights and direct teachings received from the bees themselves.

I am in love with this book
This book weaves together facts about hives with the magic of Nature's true wisdom embodied in honeybees.
this is why we know intuitively and factually how cri'tical bees are for our own civilization and for our scoeity and Nature's systems.

I loved this book!

While it may be a little to esoteric for the average person, The Song of Increase is an insightful look at how honeybees can open our minds to consider our relationships with the world and beings around us.

beautifully written

The bees perspective. WOW. Its so nice to hear a totally different explanation of how bees function. I am new beekeeper and this book changed the way I will manage/live with my bees.

Straight from the bees!

Right from the bees mouths to my opening heart.
I loved this book and the revel in the spirit of co-species sharing and caring.
