The Author of this book sets out to show how a fascinating hobby
can become a profit making pursuit. He does not attempt to
encourage new Apiarists to take up the hobby primarily to make
money, but he demonstrates from much experience that careful
Bee-Keeping inevitably means good results. He is an enthusiast who
describes with relish the various phases of the Bee-Keeper's year.
He imparts hints to others as gleaned from his own hives and points
out the many pitfalls that beset both the Amateur and even the
Apiarist of some experience. The scope of this carefully detailed
work can be estimated from the following selection from its
contents list: Hives, purchase and construction Apparatus and
Protective Clothing Purchase of Bees Manipulation Supers and
Sections Swarms Queen Bees and Queen Cells Heather Honey Robbing
and it's Prevention Extraction of Honey Bottling and Storing
Marketing of Honey Bee Diseases The Year's Work Month by Month.
