Contained within these pages is a detailed guide to bee-keeping, with information on all practical aspects related to the practice. This text was written with the purpose of outlining the author's knowledge, garnered over his thirty-five years of bee-keeping. Although old, much of the information contained here is timeless, and will be of considerable value to the modern novice bee-keeper. The chapters of this book include: 'How I Discovered My Present Method of Bee Keeping', 'Preliminary Explanation for the Benefit of Beginners in Bee Keeping', 'A Model Bee House Above Ground for Ten Swarms of Bees and How to Build It', 'How to Build a Shelter for Out Apiaries'... and much more. We are proud to republish this vintage book, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on bee-keeping.
