This early collection on beekeeping includes articles that would be both expensive and hard to find. It contains a wealth of information on the methods of managing the hive such as breeding, laying, rearing and much more. This is a fascinating work and highly recommended for the amateur beekeeper. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
