Summary

This antique book is intended for the use of those who wish to keep bees, but who lack the requisite information. This text attempts to furnish the reader with the elementary knowledge needed for such an endeavour, and does so in plain and clear language, making this a great volume for prospective bee-keepers, as well as constituting a valuable tool for existing bee-keepers. The sections of this book include: 'Proper Situation for an Apiary', 'Obtaining and Moving Bees', 'Form of Hives', 'Swarming and Hiving', 'Taking Honey', 'Uniting Hives', 'Feeding', 'Preparing Honey and Wax for Use', 'Bees' Enemies', and 'Miscellaneous Remarks'. This text was originally published in 1818, and is proudly republished here complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping
