This book combines aspects of memoir, instructional manual, and outdoor adventure narrative, capturing the author's lifelong passion and expertise in locating and harvesting honey from wild bee trees. It emphasizes the need for patience, skill, and understanding of bee behavior, painting a vivid picture of this nearly lost art.  In "The Bee Hunter," Edgell recounts his personal experiences and techniques for successfully finding bee trees, drawing on over fifty years of practice. He describes the essential tools needed for hunting, such as a specially designed bee box, and outlines the step-by-step process of setting up a line of bees to lead the hunter back to their hive. Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, he shares the thrill of the hunt, the challenges faced, and the deep appreciation for nature that accompanies the pursuit of this craft. The narrative not only serves as a guide for aspiring bee hunters but also celebrates the joys and mysteries of working with one of nature's most fascinating insects.
