This book contains a collection of articles on the monthly and seasonal work to be done by the beekeeper, with information on the general management of bees, the fundamentals of bee-keeping, the natural history of the bee... and much more. Although old, much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much use to the modern reader as it was to those contemporary with the original publication of this book. The articles of this collection include: 'A Complete Guide to the Mystery and Management of Bees', 'A Practical Treatise on the Hive and the Honey Bee', 'Dzierzon's Rational Bee Keeping', 'The American Bee Keeper's Manual', 'The Bee Keepers Guide to the Movable Comb Hives', 'The Bee Keeper's Guide' etcetera. We are proud to republish this antiquarian volume, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on bee keeping.
