Opis

This book teaches the reader how to take care of bees without great labour or expense, and derive from bee-keeping considerable profit, as well as much pleasure. Originally published in 1863, much of the information is still of value to today's bee-keepers and others interested in the history of the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.

This fascinating book contains a detailed and practical treatise on the subject of honey bees, written for those who aim at profitable bee-keeping, with any hive, and any system of management. Complete with interesting information, simple instructions, and a plethora of helpful illustrations, this is a text that will appeal to anyone with an interest in this most worthwhile pastime, and will be of particular value to collectors of antiquarian bee-keeping literature. The chapters of this book include: Facts connected with the Invention of the Movable-Comb Bee-Hive, The Honey-Bee Capable of being Tamed, Comb, Propolis, Pollen or Bee Bread, Ventilation of the Bee-Hive, Requisites of a Complete Hive, Natural Swarming and Hiving Swarms, Artificial Swarming, Loss of the Queen, etcetera. This text was first published in 1863, and is proudly republished now complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping.
