The book ‘Nature-friendly Gardening on Bonaire’ (in DUTCH) is an adaptation of a report originally created for vocational (MBO) students, now transformed into a free digital book. Although written for gardeners on Bonaire, the author notes that the book is also well-suited for use on Curaçao and Aruba. All copyrights remain with the author. Through its free publication on Caribbean Footprint, this information is now accessible to a wider audience.

Honeybees on Curaçao (with notes on other islands of the former Netherlands Antilles) (1)
Abeha—bees; they appear in the local news all too often, usually in a negative light following an attack with serious consequences for animals or humans. Such reporting often lacks nuance, paying little attention to the bee species itself—the root cause of the news stories—or the reasons why attacks occur in the first place. This is the first article on this series telling the story of the introduction of honeybees on the ABCSSS0islands.
