This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to beekeeping, with
information on starting a hive, hive management, swarming, harvesting
honey, seasonal preparations, and much more. Profusely illustrated and
full of invaluable information, this timeless volume is highly
recommended for the modern beekeeper, and would make for a worthy
addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include:
"Beekeeping As An Occupation", "How The Colony Is Organized", "The
Complete Hive", "Accessory", "Equipment", "Establishing The Colony",
"Spring In the Apiary", "Summer In The Apiary", "Fall And Winter
Preparation", "Queen Management", "Diseases And Enemies", "Honey
Plants", "Packing", and "Honey For Market". Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on beekeeping. Originally
published in 1917.
