Download or read book Bees in America written by Tammy Horn and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Integrates history, technology, sociology, economics, and politics with this remarkable insect serving as the unifying concept” (Buffalo News). The tiny, industrious honey bee has become part of popular imagination—reflected in our art, our advertising, even our language itself with such terms as queen bee and busy as a bee. Honey bees—and the values associated with them—have influenced American culture for four centuries. Bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability throughout the changes, challenges, and expansions of a highly diverse country. Bees in America is an enlightening cultural history of bees and beekeeping in the United States. Tammy Horn, herself a beekeeper, offers a social and technological history from the colonial period, when the British first brought bees to the New World, to the present, when bees are being trained by the American military to detect bombs. Horn shows how the honey bee was one of the first symbols of colonization and how bees’ societal structures shaped our ideals about work, family, community, and leisure. This book is both a fascinating read and an “excellent example of the effects agriculture has on history” (Booklist). “A wealth of worthy material.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Beekeeper, Vol. 4: April 1929 Apparently the disease has not worked its way into this valley from the outside in recent years. It has been here a long time. A system of management has been developed here that has a tendency to check the disease and at the same time to keep it alive. Those who use this system stick to a long hive with frames about a foot square. They firmly believe that all black combs are bad: that bees should not be allowed to try to raise brood the second year in the same comb. Every fall they take out the brood combs from the center of the hive along with any surplus honey and move the end frames to the center. The empty frames are replaced the next spring when the packing is removed from the ends of the hive. There is a tendency among these people to scald their hives or scrub them with hot salt water before hiving a new swarm. In the big valley are a number of centers of infection of such long stand ing that the owners seem to have no idea when the disease first appeared. Invariably they laid the trouble to spraying, insisting that before people sprayed one never heard of foulbrood. Such apiaries were for practical purposes abandoned. Overturned hives with exposed combs invited robbers and offered every possibility of infecting the entire neighborhood. Stray swarms hive themselves often enough to keep the infection alive. One infection center was located in a long narrow valley about half of which is covered with forest growth. A railroad and a highway run the length of this valley. The whole apiary of 13 colonies was infected and in addition a large pile of old combs was half hidden by weeds. He stated that he had foulbrood five years before but had cleaned it all up. About a mile west in an apiary of five was one light infection. Across the road was an apiary of 20 colonies and no infection. About. The same distance east was a good apiary the honey of which took prizes at the county fair the year before. The owner was not familiar. With foulbrood. Early last spring he found one of his colonies dead. He thought the simplest way to feed their honey to the other colonies was to let the bees help themselves. Accordingly he blocked up the hive second story lid. As a result about all his bees were dead when inspected in August.

Download or read book Bees in America written by Tammy Horn and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey bees—and the qualities associated with them—have quietly influenced American values for four centuries. During every major period in the country's history, bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability in a country without a national religion, political party, or language. Bees in America is an enlightening cultural history of bees and beekeeping in the United States. Tammy Horn, herself a beekeeper, offers a varied social and technological history from the colonial period, when the British first introduced bees to the New World, to the present, when bees are being used by the American military to detect bombs. Early European colonists introduced bees to the New World as part of an agrarian philosophy borrowed from the Greeks and Romans. Their legacy was intended to provide sustenance and a livelihood for immigrants in search of new opportunities, and the honey bee became a sign of colonization, alerting Native Americans to settlers' westward advance. Colonists imagined their own endeavors in terms of bees' hallmark traits of industry and thrift and the image of the busy and growing hive soon shaped American ideals about work, family, community, and leisure. The image of the hive continued to be popular in the eighteenth century, symbolizing a society working together for the common good and reflecting Enlightenment principles of order and balance. Less than a half-century later, Mormons settling Utah (where the bee is the state symbol) adopted the hive as a metaphor for their protected and close-knit culture that revolved around industry, harmony, frugality, and cooperation. In the Great Depression, beehives provided food and bartering goods for many farm families, and during World War II, the War Food Administration urged beekeepers to conserve every ounce of beeswax their bees provided, as more than a million pounds a year were being used in the manufacture of war products ranging from waterproofing products to tape. The bee remains a bellwether in modern America. Like so many other insects and animals, the bee population was decimated by the growing use of chemical pesticides in the 1970s. Nevertheless, beekeeping has experienced a revival as natural products containing honey and beeswax have increased the visibility and desirability of the honey bee. Still a powerful representation of success, the industrious honey bee continues to serve both as a source of income and a metaphor for globalization as America emerges as a leader in the Information Age.

This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Beekeeper, Vol. 12: April 1937 I have just spoken of two classes of beekeepers who are breeding queens, the commercial and the non-commercial, or the one who rears queens to sell and the one who rears queens largely for their use. This latter class far outnumbers the former, for most beekeepers have at some time or other tried their hand at rearing queens. Perhaps he had an unusually good queen from which he wished to get stock to head his other colonies, or not always being able to get queens when wanted, he decided to rear his own. Sometimes a large honey producer as Mr. Beaver runs a small queen rearing outfit. Or a beekeeper decides that since queens cost money, it won't cost him anything much but his time to rear his own. The ideal man to rear queens is one with plenty of information on and knowledge of the subject and money enough to be able to complete the job, insofar as he is able to go. Our experiment stations help us along this line. Government experts, bee specialists, bee journals all are of great help and for the most part the costs are small for all this help so that it is within the reach of all. Last, but not least, those beekeepers who make queen rearing a hobby supply an amazing amount of information and may their tribe increase.

Download or read book The Benevolent Bee written by Stephanie Bruneau and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beekeeper and herbalist shares how you can use six products of the beehive: honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom. Not all new beekeepers realize that a honeybee hive produces a lot more than just honey. While your hard-working ladies will produce delicious honey, the hive as a whole also produces pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax, and bee venom; all very useful things for humans, if we know how to use them. The Benevolent Bee describes how and why the bees make these products, how they’ve been used by humans throughout the ages, and how beekeepers can harvest the products. It also presents simple do-it yourself recipes for using the products in health and wellness, body care, nutrition, and craft. You'll learn how to make salves for burns and a cough syrup from raw honey; how to make a tincture, an infused oil, and a mouthwash from propolis, the anti-bacterial “bee glue” that lines the inside of the hive; and much more. Get crafting now, it’s all already in your hive!
