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.
