About this listen
The most joyful emanation produced by a colony of bees is known as the "song of increase" - declaring that the hive is flourishing and the bees are happy in its abundance. Song of Increase takes us inside the world of the honeybee to glean the wisdom of these fascinating creatures with whom humanity has shared a sacred bond for millennia.
Within these minutes is a bee-centric approach to living with honeybees, rather than advice for simply maximizing the products they provide. Jacqueline Freeman takes us beyond traditional beekeeping and offers a way to work in harmony with honeybees for both their good and ours. "Our way is one of kind observation," she explains. "Where we create supportive homes and fields for bees to live in, and tend the heartfelt relationships we form by being together."
Song of Increase focuses on hidden aspects of apiculture that lead us naturally to more sustainable practices. Freeman illuminates the unity consciousness that guides every action in the colony and how this profound awareness can influence the way we see both the natural world and ourselves. Each chapter presents a wealth of information about the life of bees, including Freeman's personal insights and direct teachings received from the bees themselves.

Amazing, Knowledge for every Bee Keeper
At first, I felt as other reviews felt, kind of eye rolling due to the mysticism. But after listening not once but twice, I now believe that this book is essential to any beekeeper who wants to preform bee-centric bee-keeping. There are some claims of anthropomorphism done on the Bees in other reviews, though I do not agree with this. The Author gives a very distinct view as to bee life, that does not relate to any other being on the planet, and is definitely not humanized nor definitively assigning any form of human emotion to bee actions, and in fact the Author states that when she feels they are acting empathically it is strictly her belief and observation. Also, I feel anyone who has spent time near a hive would agree with many of her comments or description of bee behaviour. I feel that this book combined with scientific data regarding the benefits of propolis for example would make this book more applicable to the Scientific Mind. Though, in this state, I believe that the book can offer important personal lessons as well, such as being part of the collective universe rather than thinking of ourselves as individuals. Would recommend and read again.
