Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Directions: For the Management of Honey Bees, Upon an Improved and Humane Plan, by Which the Lives of Bees May Be Preserved, and Abundance of Honey of a Superior Quality May Be Obtained
Could I disarm criticism as easily as I can deprive Bees Of their power to sting, this would be the proper place to do so thdugh I am doubtful whether it would be well-judged in me, or to my the critics' pen. But possessing no such talismanic power, I shall adventure my little book into the world, without any attempt to conciliate the critics' good-will, or to provoke their animosity, conscious that from fair criticism I have nothing to fear. That I shall be attacked by those apiarians who are wedded to their own theories and systems, however faulty, is no more than I expect: of them, I trust, I have nowhere spoken disparagingly; towards none of them do 1 entertain unkindly feelings - far otherwise. Their number, I.
