Reading the Warre Forum, I see that the first of a two part article on beekeeping with the Warre hive has been accepted by Permaculture Magazine.
The Warre system of beekeeping is a low imput/lowoutput system that seems ideally suited to Permaculturists. It maintains that excessive intervention by the beekeeper increases stress within the colony, and a corresponding reduction in health.
I suggested to David Heaf, the man responsible for bringing the system to the attention of the English-speaking world, that Permaculture Magazine would be a good publication to ‘target’ in order to increase the number of Warre beekeepers. Hopefully I haven’t led him astray.
The Permaculture magazine website can be found at

If you cannot wait for the article to appear in the magazine, there is a link to David’s site in the Blogroll.
I would be happy to answer questions about the Warre system on this blog.
