Item description from seller

Language: English. Approximately 120 pages. English : Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1829. An early nineteenth-century work on practical beekeeping, presenting a pyramidal hive design intended to preserve and increase bee colonies while yielding wax and pure honey. The volume also treats the recovery of hives whose populations have died out, with a method based on warming the eggs remaining in the cells. A distinctive item for the history of apiculture and experimental hive design, with a frontispiece and association interest through the John Adams Library provenance. The volume includes an engraved frontispiece and notable ownership history connected with John Quincy Adams and Charles Francis Adams. Book images are non-contractual. This item is printed on demand and ships from our printing partners' facility nearest the destination. These facilities are located mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
