Unabridged republication of the edition published by the A. I. Root Company, Medina, Ohio, 1915.
Long a classic within the beekeeping community, this book is a practical, yet endlessly charming handbook to all aspects of this romantic, arcane pursuit. Containing advice, observations, and information gleaned from a half-century of beekeeping, this remains a standard text on hive management and the practices and principles of efficient, effective apiculture.
