Book of the Honey Bee

This volume contains a complete guide to bee-keeping, with information on setting up, general management, diseases, common problems, increasing yields, and much more. "The Book of the Honey Bee" is highly recommended for both beginners and seasoned keepers alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Introductory", "Natural History", "The Domestic Economy of the Hive", "The Apiary and Its Arrangement", "Sources of Honey", "The Hive", "The Home-made ''W.B.C.'' Hive", "The Frame and its Fittings-Division Boards-Foundation", "How to Begin", "Transferring", "Undesired Swarms", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.
