Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mr. Hand is one of the best-informed bee-keepers in the United States. He has worked out a unique system, which, while not original in the basic principles employed, is original in manner of applying those principles. That the Hand system will revolutionize methods of swarm control, is somewhat a question; but we do believe it is worthy of careful and thorough trial on the part of the unprejudiced. The public will be quick to measure its value, and will unerringly decide whether it is better and cheaper to apply than other systems of management." -O. Medina "In view of the many excellent works covering the rudimentary principles of apiculture, it would seem that one should offer an apology for introducing another; and were it not for the fact that this work opens up an unexploited field of American apicultural methods and appliances it would not have been written. I assume that the reader possesses a fair knowledge, either theoretical or practical, of the first principles of bee-keeping. As its title implies, this work is a radical departure from the stereotyped style of former works upon subjects pertaining to bee-keeping. It seeks to lift bee-keepers out of the old ruts and place their feet on smooth ground by introducing principles that eliminate all unnecessary manipulation with bees. "It reduces the complex methods of honey-production to a very simple science with few manipulations, enabling the bee-keeper to care for twice as many colonies as formerly with a given amount of labor, and at the same time makes it possible for him to enjoy the blessing of perfect control of bees." - J.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Productive Bee-Keeping: Modern Methods of Production and Marketing of Honey The author's earliest recollections are of days with his grandfather among the bees. One of the proudest days of his whole life was the first time he was permitted to cut a limb from an apple tree on which a swarm had clustered. With a lifetime of intimate association with the bees and a wide acquaintance among the bee-keepers of the nation, it may not be regarded as surprising that he should undertake to set down in this book the information gleaned from so many sources. In no other pursuit, perhaps, do the originators' names cling to the articles of equipment or methods of manipulation, as in bee-keeping. Most of the articles of equipment, as well as methods in common use, bear the name of the man with whom they originated - the Langstroth hive, Porter bee escape, Alexander feeder, Root smoker, Miller queen cage, and so on throughout the entire field of apiculture. So firmly established has this custom become, that a writer is in danger of being accused of plagiarism if he describes a method without the originator's name in connection. While the author has followed the usual custom, in the main, some methods have become so generally adopted that it hardly seems necessary to continue the practice. It is not with any intention of claiming as original any of these plans that the originator's name has occasionally been omitted, but rather because it does not seem needful with matters so fully credited already.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honey Bee: A Manual of Instruction in Apiculture This treatise is designed to make the practical management Of an apiary plain to those whose acquaintance with the subject is limited, and to direct such as may find in it a pleasant and profitable occu patiou to a system Of management which may be followed on an exten sive scale with the certainty of fair remuneration for the labor and capital required. With this Object in view the author has deemed it best to treat the natural history Of the bee but briefly, and also to give little space to matters which are in question, or to different methods Of accomplishing given results, or to such-as are only adapted to a limited portion of the country, but rather to explain one settled way widely applicable and which will lead to success. The methods advised here are such as the author has found practical during an extended expe rience, yet in regard to numerous details many works - both foreign and American - have been consulted, none more freely than Langstroth on the Honey Bee, revised by Chas. Dadant Son, and Bees and Bee Keeping, by Prof. F. R. Cheshire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Advanced Bee-Culture, Its Methods and Management During the last four or five years I have been having quite a bit of experience in establishing out-apiaries, and in the production of honey upon a somewhat extensive scale. I have also visited a number of prominent bee-keepers, and photographed and described the methods whereby they made money. Of course, all of this has appeared in the Review and in Gleanings, but in a more or less scattered fashion; and, for a year or more, I have had in mind the gathering together of this matter, in consecutive order, in a new edition of Advanced Bee Culture. There are several reasons why I have been unable to accomplish this, chief of which has been the lack of health and strength to do the work. A few months ago a correspondence over the matter sprang up between Mr. E. R. Root and myself, with the result that, under my guidance and sanction, he revised the book, adding the new matter. All of the new matter is something that I have written, but the work of fitting in with the old, so as to make a smooth, continuous story, is that of my friend Root.

The beekeeping industry is taking on a new life, extension work along this line is being enlarged, better methods are being adopted, and with larger production has come better markets and higher prices. The purpose of this publication is to assist the beekeeper who has handled bees in a small way and has not been very successful on account of the lack of definite information concern ing some of the more practical methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bee-Culture The advice here given, though it concerns chiefly beginners who contemplate taking up bee-culture as a business, applies also to those who merely wish to keep a few hives of bees as a hobby and to work them successfully. Any person may become a beekeeper, but to become a bee-master the aspirant must possess more than an ordinary share of patience and perseverance, and also be prepared to give the subject of bee-culture his most careful study. He should be discerning and resourceful, have good judgment, with keen insight to anticipate and be swift to take advantage of all circumstances likely to lead to success - in-short, he should possess just such qualities as would contribute to his prosperity in any line of life. Procrastination is a serious imperfection under all circumstances, and especially so in bee-culture: bee-work cannot be put off without great loss; it must be done when needed; in fact, it should be anticipated - a bee - master always keeps a little ahead of his bees. It must be distinctly understood that successful bee-farming cannot be carried on without a good deal of work and close application, but, as the work to a bee-master is both interesting and congenial, it is never irksome. All bee-masters are enthusiasts in their calling; hence, in a great measure, their success. It may be said of those adapted for bee keeping that once a beekeeper always a beekeeper, for about the work there is undoubtedly, in spite of the stings, a charm which, once experienced, never loses its attractions. Bee-culture is a rapidly progressive industry; new methods and appliances are constantly coming to the front, and things that are new to-day may be Obsolete to-morrow. It therefore behoves the beekeeper to keep himself posted in everything going on in the beekeeping world through the excellent bee literature now at command.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bee-Keeping in War-Time If there are weak stocks in the spring, the same method can be followed to unite weak ones which would otherwise spend all the summer in gaining sufficient strength, and stores to winter on, instead of giving surplus. By uniting and making one strong lot out of each two weak ones, surplus will be obtained. The next care will be to see that all stocks are headed by young vigorous queens. Those having failing mothers should be te-queened by young ones, reared and introduced as ex plained in the chapter on Queen Rearing and Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rearing of Queen Bees Bee keeping is primarily a breeding problem, for the honey surplus of a colony depends so much on the queen. In order to make more public some of the best methods of queen rearing, this bulletin is issued. Much of the labor of manipulation can be avoided by the use of the systems herein described. It is held by the best bee keepers that it is necessary to restock all colonies with new queens every year; but the practice is not as com mon as it should be. It is hoped that the simplicity of the methods hereafter described will serve as an inducement. To those bee keepers who have not adopted the plan to pursue it in the future. The rearing of queens has become a separate field, in that some men devote their entire apiaries to this purpose; and to these professional queen breeders must, to a large extent, be given the work of' the improvement of stock: but it is far from wise for the ordinary honey producer to neglect this side of the industry.
