A Manual Of Rational Bee-Keeping
Overview
This antique text comprises a practical manual on bee-keeping, originally published in 1879 with a view to improve the condition of existing apiaries and to encourage the establishment of new ones. An interesting insight into the history and development of bee-keeping in Europe, this volume contains much in the way of information that is still useful today and constitutes a worthy addition to collections of bee-keeping literature. The chapters of this book include: 'On Rational Bee-Keeping'; 'On the Prosperity and Decline of an Apiary Conducted on the Old System, and the Means of Remedying Defects in that Swarm'; 'On the Bee-House Simplified'; 'On Various Systems of Hives'; 'Anatomy of the Bee'; 'On the Contents of the Hive'; 'How to Test the True Value of a Hive'; etcetera. We are proud to be republishing this vintage text, now complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping.
