A Manual of Rational Bee-keeping

Originally published in 1879, this fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all Bee enthusiasts. With chapters on The history of bee keeping, Natural swarming, Artifical swarming and the diseases and enemies of bee's as well as many more this works contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 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 text and artwork.
