Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from British Bee-Farming Its Profits and Pleasures
Whilst other branches of rural economy have kept pace with the times, bee-keeping has been, and still is, retrograding amongst cottagers. There are not nearly so many apiaries now as in the days of our forefathers. How is it that bees ?ourish so well in a wild state in the vast primeval forests of America, so that when a stock is taken from a hollow tree it is not uncommon to secure an hundredweight of honey? Cottage bee-keepin g can be made very profitable, if farmed in a proper manner; it will not only pay the rent of the labourer but find cloth ing also for his family.
