Tara Chapman: FOR THE BEES: A HANDBOOK FOR HAPPY BEEKEEPING (with Chad Cover, Nate Anderson)

Did you know… that the Ivy has its own beehives?! Attentively tended by Chad Cover and Nate Anderson, these hives are the happy homes to vibrant tiny bee-cities. Now’s your chance to put this all in context, as Tara Chapman, author of For the Bees: A Handbook for Happy Beekeeping, joins Chad and Nate for a conversation on the patio.

Tara’s book offers an exciting handbook for what to expect the first year of beekeeping and beyond, and Chad and Nate will also offer their own book recommendations (and bring their honey for you to purchase).

Tara Dawn Chapman spent ten years working for the CIA and federal government in Washington, DC, focusing on foreign policy and intelligence gathering in Pakistan and Afghanistan. After quitting her government job, she launched Two Hives Honey and welcomes thousands of bee-curious folks to the Honey Ranch, just outside of Austin, Texas, each year. You can learn more and follow along @twohives on Instagram.
