| Publisher Description: "Bee-Keeping for All" is a classic guide to keeping bees for profit and pleasure by Tickner Edwardes. It includes complete instructions for setting up and managing a successful apiary, as well as tips and observations from a life-long keeper on how to avoid problems and make a profit. Contents include: "A Bee-Hive And Its Inhabitants", "First Principles In Bee-Culture", "About Bee-Hives", "Practical Hive-Making", "Correct Position For Brood-Frames", "Twin Bee-Hives", "Laying Out The Bee-Garden", "Garden-Flowers Useful To Bees", "Planting For Bee-Forage", "The Honey-House And Its Furniture", "The Bee-Keeper's Outfit", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on bee-keeping. |
