Description

From the Preface. The author of this little book and originator of the system of Bee-Keeping herein advocated, has endeavored to present the results of many years of careful observation, experiments and study in the form of a practical treatise, so concise and yet so plain, that even the inexperienced may, with, his book and his hive, enter upon the business of bee-keeping confident of success. He takes pleasure in acknowledging that in his study of the Bee he has derived much valuable aid from the labors of Bevan, Huber, Huish, Miner, Taylor, Munn, Bruckish, Quinby, Langstroth, Harbison and others. Bringing their conflicting theories to the only sure test - the Bee-hive itself, so constructed as to expose to the eye its entire operations - he has, by careful observation at all hours and all seasons, and continued through many years, demonstrated the truth of some and the error of others. Thus, little by little, under his own eye, have the natural laws governing these wonderful little creatures, arranged themselves into a compact and beautiful system. His experiments were pursued simply as a pleasure, and his hive invented for his own private use it was not until quite recently that he had any thought of offering to the public a new hive, or publishing a book on Bees. He now does it at the request of friends, and to supply what seems to be a public need. He has intended to give due credit in. his book. Its designed limits and chief aim forbade extensive copying; for he has purposely excluded all speculative hypotheses not yet brought from the field of experiment by repeated demonstrations, giving only the absolute and abundantly established truths on which the hive and system herein described rest. He does not expect, in a day, to convince all of the truth of every statement made in his book, nor of the entire practicability of his system. He asks for the former a careful study, and for the latter a fair trial - these granted, he has no fears for the result.
