About this ebook
First published in 1911, this book contains a comprehensive and practical guide to keeping bees. With information on every aspect from feeding and swarming to extracting honey for profit, "Bee Keeping in Porto Rico" constitutes a useful and timeless resource for modern enthusiasts. Contents include: "Location of Apiary", "Apparatus", "Hive Stands", "Hives", "Honey Boards and Queen Excluders", "Bee Escapes", "Drone Boards", "Veils and Gloves", "Manipulation and Behavior of Bees", "Variety of Cells", "Preparing Hives for the Honey Clop", "Swarming", "Hiving of Swarms", "Clipping of Queens", 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.
