An old bee-master on the Sussex downs keeps his colonies by feel and long acquaintance. Tickner Edwardes follows the beekeeping year at Warrilow, from February among the hives to the modern bee-farmer's methods, with warmth and fine observation. Less manual than portrait, it is nature writing steeped in honey. Watch the seasons turn beside a master.
