Reseña del editor

This early work on The Practical Bee Keeper offers consise and plain instructions for the management of bees and hives. With much of the information 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.
