Bee-keeping with Twenty Hives

This book is intended to be a practical guide for the increasing number of bee-keepers who wish to keep about a score of hives for honey production as a spare time venture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include : Introduction - Hives and Frames - Ancillary Equipment - The Apiary - Management Part 1, Autumn and Winter, Part 2, Spring and Summer - The Bees and The Queens - Harvest - Paperwork - Pollination - Odds and Ends
