This antiquarian volume contains a thorough treatise on the art of
bee-keeping, with information on honey production, swarming, seasonal
measures, common problems, disease, and much more besides. Written in
clear, concise language and containing all the information required for
successful bee-keeping, this book will be of considerable value to the
modern bee-keeper. It would make for a great addition to any collection
of bee-keeping literature. The chapters of this book include: 'The Honey
Bee Capable of Being Tamed or Domesticated To a Most Surprising Degree';
'The Queen or Mother Bee, The Drones, And the Workers, With Various
Highly Important Facts In Their Natural History'; 'Comb'; 'Propolis, or
Bee-Glue'; 'Pollen, Or Bee-Bread'; and more. We are proud to republish
this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned
introduction on bee-keeping.
