Story5 out of 5 stars 16
Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Amazing - A Must Read for all would-be farmers

I loved every moment of this book, it has given me so many ideas and ways to get into the farming business faster, and more safely than I had originally thought possible. Joel is a great narrative for his own books, he is able to make you feel the emotions he has for his farm and his animals. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in small, sustainable farming.

Modern medical science has finally caught up to what traditional healing systems have known for centuries. Many traditional healing techniques and medicines are often assumed to be archaic, outdated, or unscientific compared to modern Western medicine. Nicole Redvers, a naturopathic physician and member of the Deninu K'ue First Nation, analyzes modern Western medical practices using evidence-informed Indigenous healing practices and traditions from around the world - from sweat lodges and fermented foods to Ayurvedic doshas and meditation.

Very excellent, excellent research. Reader has a soft voice and had to turn up volume significantly. Would still listen again and again, I hope there will be a follow-up in the future as Science improves and grows.

Story5 out of 5 stars 5
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.

Amazing, Knowledge for every Bee Keeper
Reviewed: 2020-02-07
At first, I felt as other reviews felt, kind of eye rolling due to the mysticism. But after listening not once but twice, I now believe that this book is essential to any beekeeper who wants to preform bee-centric bee-keeping. There are some claims of anthropomorphism done on the Bees in other reviews, though I do not agree with this. The Author gives a very distinct view as to bee life, that does not relate to any other being on the planet, and is definitely not humanized nor definitively assigning any form of human emotion to bee actions, and in fact the Author states that when she feels they are acting empathically it is strictly her belief and observation. Also, I feel anyone who has spent time near a hive would agree with many of her comments or description of bee behaviour. I feel that this book combined with scientific data regarding the benefits of propolis for example would make this book more applicable to the Scientific Mind. Though, in this state, I believe that the book can offer important personal lessons as well, such as being part of the collective universe rather than thinking of ourselves as individuals. Would recommend and read again.

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.
