The Bee Preserver: Or Practical Directions for the Management and Preservation of Hives (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bee Preserver: Or Practical Directions for the Management and Preservation of Hives
Among the discoveries which I had the hap piness to make, there is one of the greatest im portance to the practical apiarian, of which I had not even the slightest suspicion, and which asto nished me so much that I could not believe my eyes. It was only after trials a hundred times repeated and diversified, that I could fully con vince myself. The fact is certain, the reason is to me unknown,' and I leave to persons more learned than myself to give the explanation.
I have read most of the treatises that have been published on bees, and have found errors in most of them. To avoid them myself, I shall advance nothing that I have not verified by numerous ex periments, which every one may repeat. I shall make my narrative as short as possible.
