A reprint of the 1803 edition of Jacob Isaac's classic book about the Western Apiarian Society. The book was written for its members and favours the Remunerator-Preserver hive, so that members did not have to kill off their bees at the end of the season. It also illustrates a skep bee house. This is a luxury edition, hardback, with green marbled endpapers, and gold blocking on spine and front. Also available with a slipcase.
