We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This antique text comprises a practical manual on bee-keeping, originally published in 1879 with a view to improve the condition of existing apiaries and to encourage the establishment of new ones. An interesting insight into the history and development of bee-keeping in Europe, this volume contains much in the way of information that is still useful today and constitutes a worthy addition to collections of bee-keeping literature.
