This volume contains a detailed treatise on British 'bee plants', with
information on height, scent, distribution, season, and more. This
comprehensive catalogue contains an almost encyclopedic amount of
information on the plants discussed, making this the perfect volume for
those with an interest in the topic and an ideal addition to serious
collections of bee-related literature. Although old, the information
contained herein is timeless, and it will be of as much use to modern
readers as it was when first published. The chapters of this book
include: 'The Flower Garden', 'Annuals', 'Biennials', 'Perennials',
'Bulbous Flowering Plants', 'Summer Bedding Plants', 'The Kitchen
Garden', 'Herbs', 'Hardy Fruits and Nuts', 'Flowering Shrubs', 'Trees',
'Farm Corps and Pasturage', 'Wild Flowers and Weeds', 'Bees and Bee
Fodder', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now
complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on
bee-keeping.
