Description

Join BookTowne in welcoming Frank Mortimer, author of the book "Bee People and the Bugs They Love" Join us for this FREE in person author event at BookTowne in Manasquan, NJ! Meet the bees - Frank will be bringing along a LIVE bee colony as part of his presentation! ABOUT Bumbling along from hobbyist to expert, Mortimer – aka “Frank the Bee Man” – learns the hard way about the frequently misunderstood, always rewarding pastime of cultivating bees, attending to and growing their colonies, and aiding them in honey production. BEE PEOPLE swarms with buzzy facts about the seeming peculiarities of beekeepers by relating his own transformation and introducing you to his fellow beekeepers. Bees require commitment, practice, attention, and following the advice of more experienced beekeepers – which many “new-bees” fail to do. As he takes his obsession to the next level on his way to becoming a certified Bee Person, Mortimer’s world quickly expands. His affinity for bees naturally extends to what blooms in his backyard, how bees communicate (pro tip: watch their waggling bee butts), and following the unbreakable rules of beekeeping, gleaned over millennia.
