Reseña del editor

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.
