Beekeeping and honey hunting on six continents!

The internationally acclaimed honeybee photographer Eric Tourneret spent fifteen years traveling the world to capture the breathtaking diversity of bees and beekeeping traditions on six continents. This quest culminated in the publication of Honey From The Earth.

You’ve never seen a book like this! It has it all:
  • Truckloads of hives — industrial beekeeping in America
  • Chinese farmers pollinating orchards by hand after bees disappear
  • Getting honey from killer bees in Panama
  • Scaling cliffs to reach honeycombs in Nepal
  • Straw skeps in Germany and Romania
  • The surreal honey ants of the Australian desert
  • Honey myths from the heart of the African jungle
  • Rooftop urban beekeeping in Hong Kong
  • $50/lb honey in upscale groceries in Turkey
  • The most exotic stingless bees of the tropics
  • and SO MUCH more!
This is by far the most stunning collection of bee photography ever produced, complete with insightful commentary from a dozen of leading bee experts, including Dr. Tom Seeley, Dr. Jurgen Tautz, and Kirk Webster.

Shot in 23 countries, Honey From the Earth is an enchanted journey to discover the sweetness and beauty of our planet, and a powerful plea to protect and restore Mother Earth.
