Riassunto

This antique text contains a familiar account of the habits of bees and the most improved methods of management, with full directions, adapted for the cottager, farmer, or scientific apiarian. The aim of this volume is to give explicit and detailed directions on most subjects connected with the hiving and removing of bees; and, also, to show how, by judicious application of the ''depriving'' system, the productive powers of the bees may be enormously increased. The chapters of this book include: The Inhabitants of the Hive, The Queen, The Drone, The Worker Bee, Eggs of Bees, Increase of Bees, Swarming, Nutt's Collateral Hive, Neighbour's Improved Single Box Hive, Straw, Glass, Frame, Improved Comb Bar, Compound Bar and Frame, Cover, Taylor's Improved Cottage Hive, Eight Bar Straw, Woodbury, etcetera. This text was originally published in 1865, and is proudly republished now complete with a new introduction on bee-keeping.
