La apicultura es un pasatiempo importante no solo por la deliciosa miel que obtienes y puedes aprovechar para tu consumo…
o para venderla, también porque ayuda a proteger al medio ambiente. Muchas plantas dependen de las abejas para abastecerse de nutrientes y para mantenerse sanas. Mientras nosotros disfrutamos la dulce miel, las plantas y flores a nuestro alrededor disfrutan del arduo trabajo de las abejas. Si estás interesado en adentrarte en la apicultura, esta guía te brindará toda la información que necesitas para empezar. Hablaremos sobre los principios básicos de la apicultura, cómo elegir los suministros que necesitarás y los puntos básicos para empezar, por ejemplo: dónde colocar tu colmena, algunos tips para recolectar la miel al final de la temporada y algunos de los problemas a los que se enfrenta cualquier dueño de un apiario. Todo esto es muy valioso para el apicultor novato que desea asegurarse de que su colmena y sus abejas permanezcan lo más saludables posible. La apicultura no es un pasatiempo difícil de aprender. De hecho, en cuanto tengas todo el equipo listo y hayas introducido a tus abejas, podrás relajarte y dejarlas hacer su trabajo hasta que la miel esté lista. Así te estés planteando la posibilidad de iniciar con la apicultura o si tienes todo listo para empezar, este es sin duda el mejor pasatiempo para ti. Asegúrate de leer la guía completa y aprender todo lo que necesitas para iniciar.Apicoltura: Una guida per principianti all'apicoltura

** A delight from paddock to finish line." --Booklist (STARRED REVIEW) ** Brad Smith &“rivals Elmore Leonard at his best&”…
(Publishers Weekly). His latest novel, for fans of Richard Russo and Jane Smiley, is a terrific novel about a thirty-something single woman, the untried colt she inherits, a horse crazy little girl, and their band of misfits and has-beens who stick it to the establishment in the cutthroat world of horse racing. Billie Masterson is a thirty-something chronic underachiever, drowning herself in alcohol and bad relationships in Ohio. She hasn&’t been home to the family&’s broken-down thoroughbred farm in Kentucky since college. Her mother committed suicide when Billie was a teen and she blames her father, Will Masterson. When Will drops dead while working on the farm, Billie returns to rural Kentucky for the funeral, intending only to pay her respects before high-tailing it back to Ohio. However, she&’s informed by her father&’s lawyer, the garrulous David Mountain Clay, that she now owns the farm…and all the debt that goes with it. Determined to sell everything, settle the debts and get out of town, Billie discovers that her father&’s colt, a horse named Cactus Jack, is the object of obsession for billionaire Reese Ryker, the louche scion of a department store dynasty and now owner of Double R Racing, one of the top thoroughbred stables in the world. Billie is willing to sell everything to Ryker—until she realizes that he&’s an entitled misogynist and a not-so-subtle racist. Against her better judgment, she decides to keep the farm and the untested horse. To do that she needs to race the animal—and beat Ryker at his own game. Assisted by a team of misfits, including a washed-up trainer with whom she has a bit too much history, the horse-crazy little girl next door, and her father&’s ex-girlfriend, Billie and Cactus Jack take the track by a storm.
