Synopsis

This antique text comprises a practical manual on bee-keeping, originally published in 1879 with a view to improve the condition of existing apiaries and to encourage the establishment of new ones in places which offer every security for their prosperity. An interesting insight into the history and development of bee-keeping in Europe, this volume contains much in the way of information that is still useful today. It constitutes a worthy addition to collections of bee-keeping literature. The chapters of this book include: 'On Rational Bee-Keeping'; 'On the Prosperity and Decline of an Apiary Conducted on the Old System, and the Means of Remedying Defects in that Swarm'; 'On the Bee-House Simplified'; 'On Various Systems of Hives'; 'Anatomy of the Bee'; 'On the Contents of the Hive'; 'How to Test the True Value of a Hive'; etcetera. We are proud to be republishing this antique text here complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping.
