Author Description

This is a detailed and accessible guide to wintering bees. Profusely illustrated and written in simple, plain language, "Wintering Bee in Four-Hive Boxes" is ideal for novice bee-keepers and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of bee-keeping literature. Contents include: "Purpose of Co-operative Experiments", "How to Conduct Experiment No. 10", "Choosing Experimental Group", "Group Divided", "Management of Lot A", "The Hives", "The Wintering Box and Stand", "Packing the Hives", "Feeding for Winter", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.
