Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beekeeping for West Virginia The keeping of bees dates back in history as one of the first occupa tions of man. Rude carvings of the bee upon the tombs of the ancient Egyptians; the presence of honey among the trinkets of the mummied inhabitants as well as honey being mentioned in the Bible as a sus tainer of life, indicates that the honey bee was held in high esteem by the people of that time. Honey was regarded a necessity as a food requirement for many centuries and remained as such within two or three generations of the present time. Bees were included among other live stock introduced in New England in 1638 during the colonization period of that section of America. During the Pioneer period of this state beekeeping was an important factor in every settlement. Honey and maple sugar in limited quantities were the only sources of sweets, depending largely upon the abundance of maple trees in the section settled. With the removal of the forest for agri cultural purposes, maple trees were not spared so in some sections it became necessary to depend entirely upon the bees to supply the required sugar which is a necessity in all food require ments of the human body. Owing to the crude conditions under which bees were kept, swarming was intense and many swarms escaped to the forest. As years passed the wild colonies multiplied and with the addition of more swarms every year from the colonists apiaries the bees penetrated further and further in the new pastures. The movement of bees into new territory was at a greater rate than that of man which is clearly pointed out by the pioneers of this state finding bees present in the forests. Early beekeeping was very simple, new swarms issuing during the swarming season were placed in hollow logs and were forgotten until fall when the bees in those gums hav ing the greatest amount of honey were killed. The returns were of rather poor quality, usually being more or less of a mixture of honey, pollen or bee-bread, dead bees, and brood. Nevertheless it was relished by all, for sugar which is now common, was unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constructive Beekeeping Familiarity with the bees makes a person wonder where the mule got his reputation for stubborness. We must, when we work with bees, follow where they lead if we want satisfactory results. They generally know what they want and fight to do it in their own way. The bee is an economical fellow. Efficiency is his last name. For ages before our time he has been working at the same task that he has brought to such perfection. The bees that have excited the amazement and wonder of the world as build ers of geometric comb, with all its economy and strength, the bees that make from the nectar of the flowers the honey, that is the superlative of all things sweet and good; have not stopped with these two achievements, but have maintained a marvel with in their home, which, when understood, will amaze us more than ever. The bees collect propolis (despised by the beekeeper) and with infinite work and a knowledge of the laws of condensation of moisture, have varnished the inside, sealed all openings that would give upper ventilation, making out of their home a perfect condenser for the water vapor that has filled the hive air by evaporation from the nectar. This moisture they collect from the inside surface of the hive, works right in with their idea of econ omy, saving the carrying of water from the stream or spring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Bee Culture I had to brace it with two sticks to keep it from tumbling over. I made some crude movable-frame hives (for I had not yet seen a patent movable; frame hive). With this outfit I began bee - keeping anew, studying them by handling them on their combs. My bee business began to grow; and after keeping bees thus for several years I heard of a bee-keeper who had bought some patent factory made hives. I paid him a visit at once, and I saw that the hives were just what I needed, so I bought a lot of them Next season I transferred my bees into them. From the old crude hives I transfered bees and what I had on hand extra, furnished me fuel during the summer and following winter. From the old decayed box hive my bee business has spread until bee keeping is my business or sole occupation. Besides establishing five apiaries of my own around in this section (as many bees as I can give proper atten tion to), I have furnished foundation stock from which many apiaries have been established in various sections of the South from the old mother hives. The ups and downs I had during this time, I have not space to describe in this small volume. If there is such a thing as a man being called to do certain work, I have been called to the field of bee culture, for I feel out of my calling at any thing else. Although I have mastered no little at eight other occupations, yet I feel more as if I am at my allotted work when I am among my bees than I do at any other of my trades. I have applied myself to bee-keeping in almost every conceivable man ner, keeping colonies of bees in glass hives in my bedroom and on my ver anda, keeping close and constant watch on them by day and by night. I have operated bees successfully and extensively for extracted chunk and comb honey m sections; I have traveled to and fro across the South, investi gating bee-keeping and the honey-plants in many sections; and if I did not know that there is a great future for the bee and honey industry here I would not attempt to write this book. While methods' of apiary work and bee-keeping differ m sections and locations, I hope to give you at least some practical thoughts along bee-keeping in your own location.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bee-Keeping in Victoria Italian is the Golden Italian which was secured by select breeding for colour, or by crossing with Cyprians. It has five yellow bands instead of three - practically the whole of the abdomen is yellow. Bees of this variety are more susceptible to cold and wet than the three banded Italians and rather predisposed to bee-paralysis. Italians, when pure, do not cap their combs so white as black bees do, and are therefore less suitable for the production of comb honey.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Honey Bee Beekeeping is also a centre, a starting point, from which many delightful roads radiate; and creates a stimulus for increased knowledge, not only of the habits and life history of the little creatures who so delightfully minister both to our pleasure and profit, but also of the truly marvellous part they (with other allied insects) play in the economy of nature. Probably no other pursuit is calculated to bring one into intimate touch with nature at so many points as is beekeeping. To the gardener, the fruit-grower especially, bees are an absolute necessity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bee-Culture The advice here given, though it concerns chiefly beginners who contemplate taking up bee-culture as a business, applies also to those who merely wish to keep a few hives of bees as a hobby and to work them successfully. Any person may become a beekeeper, but to become a bee-master the aspirant must possess more than an ordinary share of patience and perseverance, and also be prepared to give the subject of bee-culture his most careful study. He should be discerning and resourceful, have good judgment, with keen insight to anticipate and be swift to take advantage of all circumstances likely to lead to success - in-short, he should possess just such qualities as would contribute to his prosperity in any line of life. Procrastination is a serious imperfection under all circumstances, and especially so in bee-culture: bee-work cannot be put off without great loss; it must be done when needed; in fact, it should be anticipated - a bee - master always keeps a little ahead of his bees. It must be distinctly understood that successful bee-farming cannot be carried on without a good deal of work and close application, but, as the work to a bee-master is both interesting and congenial, it is never irksome. All bee-masters are enthusiasts in their calling; hence, in a great measure, their success. It may be said of those adapted for bee keeping that once a beekeeper always a beekeeper, for about the work there is undoubtedly, in spite of the stings, a charm which, once experienced, never loses its attractions. Bee-culture is a rapidly progressive industry; new methods and appliances are constantly coming to the front, and things that are new to-day may be Obsolete to-morrow. It therefore behoves the beekeeper to keep himself posted in everything going on in the beekeeping world through the excellent bee literature now at command.

Download or read book Dadant System of Beekeeping Classic Reprint written by Camille Pierre Dadant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dadant System of Beekeeping The worker bees hatch from the egg in 21 days, in ordinary circumstances. They do duty about the inside for a week, before attempting a ight outside. About the seventh day, in the after noon, they take their first ight, coming back home after having made the acquaintance of the surroundings, and remaining another week indoors. It is therefore only after 2 weeks of insect life, 5 weeks from the laying of the egg, that the worker becomes a field bee and begins to harvest honey. This is im portant to know, if we wish to get our force of honey harvesters at the right time. The worker does not live long in the busy season. Previous to the introduction of the Italian bee in apiaries of common bees, it was difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain how long a worker lives. The introduction of Italian bees has helped solve this problem in a positive manner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bee-Keeping in North Carolina, Vol. 29: January, 1908 There is no State organization in which our bee-keepers meet to exchange views; there is no system of inspection by which the apiaries may be brought to a higher standard; the bee-keeping magazines have but a limited circulation with us, and there is nowhere in the State a practical bee-keeper whose special duty it is to encourage or protect this industry. In order to see if we could reach any of the fundamental facts underlying this industry in the State, the writer - though not an actual beekeeper - began an inquiry into the industry in the summer of 1905, which has been continued (with interruptions) to the pres ent time. A carefully prepared sheet of questions was sent out, and all data received in reply have been carefully recorded. We have left out of account any who have less than ten colonies of bees, so that the data which we have is from actual commercial bee-keepers. We have on record replies from about 360 persons, representing a total of colonies, located in seventy-eight counties - an average of 134 colonies for each county heard from, or an average of nearly 108 colonies for each and every county in the entire State. We feel that with such an amount of data we are warranted in deducting some conclusions regarding the industry in the State as a whole.
