In The Cultural History of Beekeeping in Denmark, museum curator Peter Bavnshøj tells about Danish beekeepers from ancient times to the present day. From the first hives in hollow tree trunks to today's attention to wild bees, pesticides and sustainability. The book is the first publication about the development of beekeeping in Denmark and portrays both professional beekeepers and recreational beekeepers. Honey is still the primary product, but beeswax, which was once used for wax candles and for bronze casters' production of church bells, is now also used in everything from cosmetics to coatings for grenades and modern fighter jets.
