Marina Marchese discusses her book HONEYBEE: Lessons from an Accidental Beekeeper: Ten years ago, Marina Marchese fell in love with bees during a tour of a neighbor’s hives. Surprised to find that allowing docile honeybees to crawl across her hands instilled a serene tranquility and comfort, Marina quit her job, acquired her own bees, built her own hives, harvested honey, earned a certificate in apitherapy (the use of honey-bee products in medicinal healing) and eventually opened her own business. Today, Red Bee Honey sells artisanal honey and honey-related products to shops and restaurants all over the country. Honeybee: Lessons Learned from an Accidental Beekeeper is one woman’s story, but it is also bursting with fascinating and practical information about all aspects of bees.
Tickets can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets or by calling the Book Events office at (206) 632-2419.
