Book synopsis

This volume contains a detailed guide on bee-keeping, with 16 page plates and over one hundred illustrations. Containing everything a prospective or existing bee-keeper needs to know about the practice, this timeless text will be of much value to anyone with an interest in the subject and constitutes a worthy addition to collections of antique bee-keeping literature. The chapters of this book include: 'History of Bee-Keeping', 'Natural History of the Honey Bee', 'Hive Life', 'Frame Hives', 'Position of the Hive', 'Buying Bees', 'Building up and Supering', 'Robbing and Fighting', 'Wintering', 'Spring Management', 'The Honeyflow and Swarming Time', 'Artificial Swarming', etcetera. Many antique books such as this are becoming increasingly costly and hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this book here complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping.
