So you want to start keeping bees? Where does a newbee or hobbyist place their bee hives? The back yard is the most obvious choice, but there are many factors, including municipal ordinances and relations with the neighbours. Urban bee keeping is on the rise and roof top apiaries are becoming popular. Still, there are several factors that limit and define the most successful apiary site selection.
Grant Gillard, a bee keeper since 1981, keeps 200 hives in south east Missouri on over 30 locations, sometimes called "out yards." In this manuscript, Grant details what makes for the ideal location for the bees, plus cites a number of other criteria helpful to the bee keeper. Just like in real estate, the admonition of "location, location, location," rings true for the honey bee and honey production.

In today's economic climate, self-sufficiency is increasingly seen as a viable means of taking control of our lives and safeguarding for the future – this is the book that will help every householder do just that. Each of the twelve chapters focuses on key topics for living a more self-sustainable life, with practical information and expert guidance that will make the subject come alive for everyone, whatever their needs, circumstances and resources. This means that the gardening chapter, for example, is appropriate both for people with an urban back yard or a more substantial plot of land.
Written in a down-to-earth, engaging and often amusing style, the book will appeal to single people as much as to those with large families, to women who want to be more creative, resourceful and independent, to men who want to rediscover their inner ‘hunter-gatherer’, and to parents looking to equip their children with basic life skills.

This book is suitable for both beginning and seasoned gardeners who have yet to try vertical gardening. There is spot on advice starting with planning and building a vertical garden, all the way through planting and maintenance of such a garden.
