"This book contains a detailed guide to bees and bee-keeping, with chapters on history, anatomy, habits, common problems, and much more. Profusely illustrated and full of timeless information, ""A Book about Bees"" constitutes a must-read for modern bee-keepers and is not to be missed by collectors of vintage bee-keeping literature. Contents include: ""The Cottage Bee-keepers' Home"", ""Wild Bees and Flowers"", ""Italian Bee"", ""Queen, Worker, and Drone Bees"", ""The Queen and Her Attendants"", ""Queen Cells in Different Stages"", ""The Cottager and his Bees"", ""Hiving a Swarm"", ""The Head, Thorax"", ""Abdomen"", ""Of a Bee"", ""Wing of a Bee"", ""Egg and Larvae of the Bee"", 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."
