Book Examines Industrial Honeybee Farming Practices in the United States
Jennie Durant's Bitter Honey reviews the operational methods and mortality rates associated with commercial beekeeping in the U.S. The review notes that mortality statistics alone may not lead to policy or consumer changes.
anothermag.comJennie Durant's book Bitter Honey examines the operational methods used in commercial honeybee management across the United States. Thomas Lewton reviewed the book for New Scientist and described it as an exposé of the costs tied to industrial-scale beekeeping.
The review states that the book presents figures on bee deaths and questions whether those numbers alone will prompt broader changes in practice.
Lewton suggests that viewing honeybees as fellow creatures could supplement the data presented in the book. No specific mortality rates, regulatory actions, or company names are provided in the review.
