CREATESPACE The Hive and the Honey-Bee

Great essay on care of the honey bee. Not so technical as I would have liked, but full of detail and enlightening none the less. Take into consideration that this book was written in the mid 1800’s but a somewhat religious (as most were) American bee keeper. It is a good collection of experience from some of the leading experts at the time.

Great read

This is the BBKA recommended text for the Module 1 examination and is a reprint of the text of Langstroth's 19th century seminal work on bees and the use of hives with moveable frames but sadly without any of the wonderful illustrations found in the original. It has great historical interest but with expressions such as " Timid Apiarians, and all who are liable to suffer severely from the sting of a bee, should by all means furnish themselves with the protection of a bee-dress" its value as a set book for modern beekeeping examinations is limited.

Very good read. Some parts seem a little outdated, but it covered a lot of the basics.

Honeybee reference Book It’s advertised as used but it is brand new : it came with an apology from the company that originally sold it on Amazon ( inside of the pages ) for the late delivery ( inside of the book’s pages ) . Buy this book ASAP if you are interested in owning a total reference book related to professional honeybees .
