Description

This is a study of reports from 360 American bee-keepers concerning different types of bees, how and where the highest yields are achieved, the development of techniques, best honey-plants, and much more. Based on information from the owners of over 10,400 colonies, the results of this study will be of considerable utility to both those who keep bees for pleasure and for profit. Contents include: "Summary of Bulletin", "Introduction", "Principal Honey Sections of State", "Races of Varieties of Bees", "Prices for Honey", "Comb Honey", "Leading Honey Plants", "Types of Hives", "Bee-moth and Other Enemies", "Bee-keeping Journals", "Summary of Bee-keeping in the State", "What Encouragement Can be Given", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.
