Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Advice to Beginners in Bee-Keeping If one observes a healthy colony in the summer time, the bees will be seen to enter and leave the hive in rapid succession 5 the laden bees returning from the fields and the workers setting out to collect pollen and nectar do not loiter at the entrance to the hive. They have no time to waste at the gates. They are too busy. But with the onset of the disease there is a marked difference in the behaviour of the bees. They have no longer any desire to toil in the fields. They seem to have lost their characteristic energy. They crowd round the entrance of the hive, occasionally clustering and displaying a general appearance of listlessness. This lack of vitality is the first noticeable phase of the disease. A peculiar feature of the wings - the so-called split wing is often observed in bees suffering from Isle of Wight disease in its early stages. Normally the bee, when in the act of ight, unites the fore and hind wings together so that the two wings on either side of the thorax act as one. (this union is brought about by a series of hooks on the anterior margin of the hind wing engaging a series of catches on the posterior border of the fore wing.) But when the bee contracts Isle of Wight disease this power of union is often lost, and the wings appear quite separate. It should be Observed that this split wing appearance, though quite characteristic, is not in itself diagnostic of the disease. Occasionally a sick bee may be observed drawing its posterior legs over the abdomen - as if the bee realised a sensation of pain in that part.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beekeeping for the Beginner in California California is less noted for honey production than for the production of bees and queens for sale to Canadians and to other western bee keepers living under severe winter conditions. The 1928 sales were 70 tons of bees and queens. Comparatively few persons are likely to become successful com mercial beekeepers, as few possess the necessary temperament, the frugality, insight, and skill required. A prospective commercial bee keeper should go very slowly until he has had considerable actual experience. The majority of farmers and many residents of small towns can, however, successfully keep a few stands of bees with little expense and time. Beekeeping in Relation to the 0rchardist. - Perhaps the most important, but not the best known, work of the honeybee is the conveyance of pollen from flower to flower, thus assisting in the fertilization of plants, and assuring their fruitfulness. Bees are so necessary for the successful pollination of many fruit trees, nut trees, and seed plants that the growing of certain horticultural products has been handicapped by the recent decline in beekeeping. Among numerous reasons for the growing difficulty of successful bee culture may be mentioned, as chief, the wide dissemination of organisms causing death to the bee larvae and thus increasing expenses, and secondly, the replacement of vast areas of native nectar-yielding plants by the expansion of cultivation. In spite of the increased difficulties, however, the keeping of a few colonies of bees is still possible for many. It must be emphasized that bees will not work free and pay their own board as many uninformed enthusiasts suppose. Bees require consistent effort to keep them in good con dition if they are not to become a. Complete nuisance and a focus of infection to other bees nearby. For the good of the industry, the smaller beekeepers should become familiar with bees, their habits, and their diseases. Bees are conservationists. They supplement their extremely im portant service of pollinizing food and forage crops, by elaborating from the nectar of the plants thus benefited one of the most delicious, nutritious, and readily digestible foods. Hive bees, in addition to gathering nectar, must collect and store pollen in order to live and to rear their young. The body of the bee is provided with various modified parts for gathering, carrying, and manipulating the pollen. The relationship between bees and plants. Is here marvelously close for bees cannot live without the plant blossom products. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginner in Bee Culture Since the introduction of the bar frame hive, many scientific as well as practical apiarists have made a close study of bee-keeping, contributing Opinions which it behoves us to consider carefully. It is not suggested that, to be successful, the apiarist should necessarily be a scientist, but it is intended rather to stress the advantage to be derived from associating with practical experience a sound knowledge of the main principles of apiculture. As in other activities, the start Is all-important. A start in the wrong direction leads to all scrts of troubles, and in no case is this better instanced than where the beginner purchases bees 1n any odd-sized hives, thus inaugurating an any old way system at the opposite pole to any which characterise profitable modern bee-keeping. Five well-hived colonies containing a fair breed of bees will with ordinary attention, equal thirty Of the kept any way sort, so far as production is concerned. Surely then it is easier to attend to five hives than thirty? It is quality, not number, that counts, and the beginner's first aim should be to keep bees the right way. A very comfortable living can be made from apiculture, providing the apiarist will properly qualify himself to become a producer. The three main things are experience, locality, and energy. Small apiaries can be profitably worked as a side line with other industries, providing time can be found for ordinary attention during the season.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Bee Guide: A Manual of Modern Beekeeping The alteration in the title of the guide has been made partly in acknowledgment of the fact that the sale of the book hitherto has not been chiefly in this country, and partly in deference to the wishes of the booksellers and of a large number of practical beekeepers, who have assured me that the former title led to the erroneous impression that the guide was suited only to beekeeping in Ireland. Many new titles were suggested to me: I have adopted one which appears to me to be not extravagant, for, whatever shortcomings the guide may disclose, I think that I may, without immodesty, claim for it that it is essentially practical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the A.& M. College Apiary: Together With Practical Suggestions in Modern Methods of Bee Keeping as Applied to Texas Conditions Dear Sir: Herewith I beg to submit a report upon the work accomplished with the Apiary at the College the past six months, since the establishment of the same this season. The year thus far has been a most unfavorable one for surplus honey production and the colonies have been brought in and established and bred up to a strong working force under the greatest difficulties. Mr. Wilmon Newell was selected as Assistant Entomologist in February and was given the immediate charge of the Apiary and its care and development preparatory to experimental work. Much preliminary work has been done under my direction and the basis for much valuable work in the future prepared. Some important suggestions have already developed from the work upon honey plants and the studies made concerning them the past season. Then, too, it has been found that there is a pressing demand for some kind of ready reference and guide for the farmers, truck growers, and fruit growers, who have a few colonies, but who are not familiar with up-to-date methods. For all of these reasons I have asked Mr. Newell to prepare a complete report covering many of the serious difficulties encountered. This will be of great value to the rural bee keepers of the State. His report has been prepared with great care, and I take pleasure in submitting the same herewith and recommending it for publication as a portion of my annual report. Dear Sir: In compliance with your instructions, I beg to submit herewith a report upon the Experimental Apiary, located at the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which was created by act of the Twenty-seventh Legislature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010 Reprint of original 1934 edition. The Dadant family, originally from France, is one the first families of beekeeping in America. Charles Dadant (1817-1902) is considered one of the founding fathers of modern beekeeping. He was always seeking a better way to keep bees. Just as he had begun with the old European "eke," he quickly abandoned that kind of beekeeping for the modern Langstroth hive concept. Bee hives have often been designed and built without regard for the needs and habits of the honey bee colony. Probably the best design for a colony was the large hive developed by Charles Dadant. It provided a large, deep brood chamber with plenty of room in which the queen could lay, and shallower supers for honey storage. However, the price and promotion of smaller hives offered for sale during the period from about 1885 to 1900 made them more popular. Charles son, Camille Pierre Dadant, authored First Lessons in Beekeeping, a standard and still important work on this subject. Dadant's book and its succeeding editions have been America's first stop for beginning beekeepers for over 90 years. Lavishing illustrated with photographs.
