The Naturalist's Notebook

One of our all-time fave ways to observe nature and easily document memorable moments. Here at the Heritage Bee Co, we have been using this observation guide by Bernd Heinrich & Nathaniel Wheelwright for close to 5 years! 

We've included actual photos from our Founder's notebook (coffee stains included...hahaha).  She is wrapping up 5 years of tracking in her Notebook and now knows the dates and patterns of everything from the arrival of Bluebirds, Bats and Whip-Poor-Wills to weather patterns.

At Heritage Bee, we use a separate tracking system for our bees. However, we think this is a brilliant way for everyone to track blooms, bees, butterflies, weather patterns and other wildlife/nature happenings. Also ideal for a backyard beekeeper.

Biologist Nathaniel T. Wheelwright and best-selling author Bernd Heinrich teach nature lovers of all ages what to look for outdoors no matter where they live, using Heinrich's classic illustrations as inspiration. As you jot down one observation a day, year after year, your collected field notes will serve as a valuable record of your piece of the planet.

This deluxe book, with a three-piece case, gilt edges, a burgundy ribbon bookmark,  is a perfect gift for all nature and bee lovers alike.  Enjoy the simple pleasures Mother Earth has to offer.
