A Practical Treatise On The Hive And Honey-Bee

This book teaches the reader how to take care of bees without great labour or expense, and derive from bee-keeping considerable profit, as well as much pleasure. Originally published in 1863, much of the information is still of value to today's bee-keepers and others interested in the history of the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original artwork and text.
