- An Introduction to Natural Beekeeping for Gardeners
- by Philip Chandler
This audio book is read by the author and is intended as a primer about bees and natural beekeeping, especially for those with an interest in gardening.
Chapter 1
Before considering 'keeping' bees, we take a look at their world, their lifecycle and how we can work with them to achieve a mutually beneficial relationship.Chapter 2
We consider the relationship between bees and flowering plants and their importance for pollination. We will also look at the type of beehives recommended for 'natural beekeeping', and consider ways in which you can take sensible precautions when locating hives and handling bees.Chapter 3
We will examine how a top bar beehive works, and how best to use it to supervise bees, while minimizing our interference in their lives. We will also consider how to obtain bees and persuade them to live in the hives we provide them.Chapter 4
Having introduced bees to their new home, we look at hive management and how to provide optimum conditions in which they can thrive, while learning as much as possible about their natural behaviour with a view to improving our understanding of them.The autor's web site is at www.biobees.com

- "Souled Out"! A former Madam turns her back on the sex trade and breaks her silence.
- by Tania Fiolleau
Tania Fiolleau was Souled Out! She sold her soul to prostitution to save her children from a fate worse than death. Going from an abusive family into a number of foster homes, she landed in the arms of rape and soon found herself in harm’s length of a husband that made her life hell. Prostitution meant money – money that would gain her custody of her two boys. When she was ultimately awarded full and final custody of her children, Tania exited the industry and vowed to dedicate her life to Save the Women.
Reading her story and the statistics demonstrating the abuse that has been perpetrated against women in the trade, you will understand why and how every one of us has a price to pay for letting it go so far.Synopsis
This is the story of a girl that grew up in a home filled with drugs, alcohol and domestic violence. After being taken out of her abusive home, put into foster care and made a permanent ward of the courts, she could no longer handle being passed around in the system. She ran away from foster care, hitch hiked right into the hands of a maniac and became the victim of a brutal rape at the age of twelve. A few years later, she repeated the cycle of abuse and married a man just like her father. Throughout the marriage, she feared for hers and the lives of her children. She lived in and out of battered women shelters until she divorced this abusive beast of a husband and began a court action to obtain custody of her children, in order to save them from an obscene future. Soon, she was turning her first trick, followed by a four-year-long court battle that led all the way to the Supreme Court. $350,000 of lawyers’ fees later, she had become a madam heading no less than four brothels and having approximately 400-500 women work for her over the years. What would this madam do after she obtained sole custody?
“Although I had reached the top rung of my professional ladder – I was now a madam – I was seeing myself being destroyed physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Tania Fiolleau said, “All the heartache and sorrow I went through will all have been worth it if I can just help one woman climb out of the pit of despair.” She has now made it her goal to love these women and expose the sex industry such as it has never been exposed before – from a former madam’s point of view.“Souled out! is simply an account of my life in the industry.
