Opis

A fascinating and in depth guide for anybody interested in apiculture and the natural history of the honey bee. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 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 text and artwork.

This fascinating volume comprises a comprehensive treatise on the honey bee, with information on anatomy, physiology, and natural history. Complete with detailed illustrations and diagrams, and containing a veritable wealth of interesting information on bees, this text constitutes a must-have for the serious bee-keeper or bee-enthusiast, and makes for a great addition to collections of bee-related literature. The chapters include: The Bee Community, The Natural History of the Honey Bee, Anatomy and Physiology of the Honey Bee, Hermaphrodite and Freak Bees, Albino Bees, Anatomy and Physiology of the Honey Bee, Hairs, Head, Mouth Parts, A New Light on the Sexual Organs of the Queen and Drone Honey Bees, etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on bee-keeping.
