Summer Brood Interruption for Vital Honey Bee Colonies
The parasitic varroa mite remains the most serious problem for honey bee colonies worldwide. Despite various chemical treatments, many beekeepers still lose their colonies each year. This book sets out the authors' novel vision and practical steps on to how to manage bees for varroa control using a "nature-based beekeeping" approach. With clear step-by-step charts on what to do and when, and with QR code links to short videos showing "how to" carry out the techniques, the book will enable the beekeeper to work confidently, and in sympathy with their honey bees' natural behaviours. An understanding of bee biology and biological mechanisms is used to describe three different methods for varroa control, each using an interruption of brood rearing in the summer. These are: brood removal, queen caging, and the use of a trapping comb, together with many practical tips to reduce the risks of a queen or colony failing during the treatments.The authors bring their extensive practical experience of testing these methods in a systematic and scientific way, with insights from many other beekeepers and researchers throughout Europe, to fill an important gap in the beekeeping literature about working in harmony with nature to control varroa. Their approach offers more sustainable colony management in tune with honey bee biology, consumers' requirements, and an increasing public awareness of environmental concerns.

Outdoor Adventures for Tiny Explorers
Everyone has a favorite spot. A place where they feel comfortable, a space to think, a place all their own. For many, that space is in nature, with its sounds, smells, and sense of freedom and the chance to move. The place where we can learn about ourselves.But grown-ups aren't the only ones who benefit from the great outdoors. Children also reap the rewards of nature-calmness, curiosity, connectivity, and empathy starting at a young age. I have had the chance to witness this firsthand from Colorado to China. Through my time working in outdoor education, I have seen the good that being outdoors can do for kids. Whether it's breathing in the fresh air, stretching their legs, ordeveloping social-emotional skills, every child deserves the chance to experience nature's benefits.The ability to understand the world around us begins at a very early age. Bringing a young child outdoors instills a sense of curiosity and wonder, teaches problem-solving and effective communication, and helps develop a sense of responsibility. These benefits don't stop with school readiness; they translate into skills your child will carry through life.Each child is different and will profit differently from their time outside. But most important, parents and children should spend the time outside together. I say "parent" as a shorthand for all guardians, grandparents, siblings, or other caregivers. It doesn't matter what role you play in the child's life; what matters is the connection you create by spending time together. Sharing that time together outdoors deepens your bond and creates a lifelong relationship with one another and the greater world.This book will show you creative ways to grow your child's relationship with nature and discover its joys. The activities in these pages require few materials (and those that are necessary are inexpensive items you can find around your home). In addition, you won't have to spend a lot of time preparing for these activities; most require little more than reading the instructions and stepping outside to experience the joy of nature. And the activities are designated by level of difficulty: one leaf for easy, two leaves for medium, and three leaves for challenging. If a particular activity or part of an activity is too challenging for a younger child, feel free to adapt it to fit your child's age level and abilities.Finally, always keep safety in mind. Remember: no touching or chasing animals; stay away from poison ivy and the like; be careful around water; watch the weather; dress appropriately for the season; wear sunscreen or protective clothing; use bug spray; hydrate; wear sturdy, comfortable footwear; and take plenty of breaks.With this book you will embark on a journey of growth together, whether through developmental milestones, bonding, or learning skills for a lifetime. The first steps of this journey stretch beyond the pages of this book, to the hiking trails, mountains, fields, beaches, and forests you and your child explore. Have fun on your journey together!
The Art of Landscape Knitting
Knit beautiful, bespoke blankets that reflect your favourite landscapes with this original pattern collection. Designer, Anne Le Brocq, has created a collection of 50 knitting pattern designs for different kinds of landscape and weather features so whether you live near the mountains or by the sea, you can knit your own landscape blanket. The 50 pattern swatches include wet sand, pebbles, footprints, rain, clouds, different kinds of tree foliage, mountains, sand dunes and more. There are written instructions and numbered charts for each of the landscape swatches, as well as stunning photography showing the inspiration for each of the designs. These swatches are the perfect 'on-the-move' project because you can knit one square at a time and join them together to make a blanket, perfect for taking with you in your project bag. However, if you prefer to knit a blanket in one rather than joining the individual swatches at the end, there are also instructions for how to use the swatch patterns as vertical and horizontal repeats. As well as the pattern swatch library there are seven finished blankets to illustrate how the pattern swatches can be used. All of the blankets have instructions for making them using the swatches as well as how to knit them in one so you can choose your preferred method. The author uses a wide range of different yarns - including gradient yarns - to show how colour and fibre can change the effect of the finished blanket. The solid colour changes emphasize the different landscape features whereas the gradient yarns create a more subtle effect. Author, knitting designer and geographer, Anne Le Brocq, is uniquely qualified to create this collection of knitting patterns inspired by the natural world. Anne has combined her two passions in The Art of Landscape Knitting to create a very special collection of designs. This unique concept will inspire you to knit your own favourite landscapes and create beautiful, bespoke blankets that evoke the world around us.
