The Hive Doctor on Books.by 02/22/2026

Well as it turns out, older folks prefer larger books, larger print. I'm cool with that which is why I'm currently converting my beekeeping books to "Enlarged Editions."

Plus, I recently bought Alex Hermozi's books and it's just nice to have a big ole' book in your hands. 🤓

I still have three more books (out of 8) to switch over and you can check them all out in my Print-on-Demand bookstore. I appreciate everyone who buys or shares!

The Hive Doctor on Books.by The Butterfly Effect of Beekeeping reveals how a few small behavioral shifts can dramatically alter an entire beekeeping season. By focusing on four high-impact changes, this book helps beekeepers create better outcomes with less effort and stress.

Varroa mites.

Spring is coming and you know what that means?!

Time to start thinking about mite control...which is honestly a bit overwhelming. Well guess what?? YOU can make it UNDERWHELMING.

Get the Varroa mite Playbook and demystify what treatments to use and when to use them. WHY? Because not all treatments were made equal.

Clan Beekeeper 🐝 01/30/2026

Clan Beekeeper has a live Call every Tuesday and this upcoming topic is talking: Splitting Strategies.

Despite most of us having decided that we're not splitting this year! 😅

Splitting bees is probably the MOST Valuable skill I learned from my beekeeping mentor over 15 years. There's no better lesson for learning bees AND being able to make more bees from your own bees instead of buying them every year.

Join our beekeeping community on Skool, start your own 7-Day Free trial and see if it's for you because we want to hear from you too.

Clan Beekeeper 🐝 For beekeepers who want fewer interventions, clearer signals, and better decisions between inspections. This is a shared space of like-minded Keepers.

Most beekeepers don’t fail from neglect.
They fail from fixing too fast.

Not more tips.
Not panic answers.
Just better thinking, shared among friends

Most Beekeepers inspect Hives.
Very few know How to Read Them.

Colony Tracing: Progression Mapping Colony Direction introduces a way to see colonies as systems in motion rather than snapshots in time.

This book is not about adding more notes. It's about knowing which observations matter, how they relate to one another, and what direction they're pointing to.

What would you give to be more in tune with your bees instead of chasing symptoms?

I want to personally thank everyone who's been helping my published books and eBooks fly off the shelf!! Signal-based beekeeping is such a better way to go when it comes to approaching our bees, and I am astounded by the results!

I also want to update everyone to my new website where my eBooks will be available since the old one is now gone.
