Follow a wild swarm to its hollow tree by watching where the workers drink. John Lockard shares a lifetime of bee hunting: tracking bees from sumac and water in early spring, the old hunter's tricks, and the patient art of finding hidden honey. Woodcraft and folk skill from a vanishing pursuit. Learn to read the flight of a single bee back to its treasure.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
