Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years Among the Bees In the year 1886 there was published a little book written by me entitled "A Year Among the Bees." In 1902 it was enlarged and appeared under the title "Forty years Among the Bees." In preparation for the present edition. I undertook the revision with little thought of the number of changes to be made or the number of pages to be added in order to bring it fully up to date (about one-eighth being new matter), but it is hoped that the changes and additions may make it of more value to the reader. As I began beekeeping in 1861, fifty years ago, the present name seems appropriate. However much some personal friends may like the brief biographical sketch that occupies the first few pages, others may think that the space could have been better occupied. There remains, however, the privilege of skipping those few pages. Most of the pictures are from photographs taken by myself or under my immediate supervision, at least so far as concerns "touching the button"; the Eastman Kodak Co. "did the rest."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the few people of his time who actually made a living from bees, C. C. Miller made beekeeping his sole business, beginning as a hobby in 1861 and continuing until his death in 1920, following a long and distinguished career that produced many articles and books on the subject. This volume, long a classic within the beekeeping community, is a practical, yet endlessly charming handbook on all aspects of a romantic and arcane pursuit. Offering advice, observations, and information gleaned from more than a half-century of beekeeping, it covers, among many other topics, the importance of keeping hives clean and well-ventilated, mending combs, maintaining proper hive temperatures, winter storage, the Queen's nursery, harvesting honey, plus a special section of recipes that range from honey cake to salves for frostbite. Written by a major figure in apiculture history, this volume remains a standard text on hive management and the practices and principles of efficient, effective beekeeping.

Book excerpt: In this story of an astonishing love, Thomas Sanchez portrays the violence, hope, and grandeur of lives transformed by war and exile. At the heart of the novel are Zermano, a world-famous Spanish painter, and his beautiful French muse, Louise Collard -- whose lives are torn apart by the German invasion of France in World War II. Leaving Louise in Vichy-controlled Provence, Zermano returns to occupied Paris. But while he eventually goes on to celebrity and fortune, Louise disappears into obscurity. Fifty years later, after Louise's death, an American scholar arrives in the south of France seeking the truth about the lovers' tempestuous romance and sudden separation. Why did the painter abandon the young beauty? What was the cause of her lifelong reclusiveness? What dark mysteries were being concealed by the ill-fated couple? By chance, the professor finds a cache of correspondence -- Zermano's letters to Louise in her remote mountain village, and her intentionally unmailed letters to him in Paris. In their vivid, wrenching contents he uncovers secrets that Louise kept even from Zermano about her wartime experience: the dangers of her participation in the Resistance, and her complicity with one of its leaders, the Fly; her struggles to elude a sadistic officer who hunts her for political and personal reasons; her lyrical intimacy with a mystical beekeeper. Louise is forced to make a fateful decision between the love for her man, and the ultimate sacrifice for her country. In a powerful climax, the scholar is compelled to journey to Mallorca, where Zermano is rumored to be living in self-imposed exile. Determined to reveal Louise's fate to the painter, our narrator does not suspect that he, too, will be forced to confront the enigma of his own desire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees Let us turn to the United States census figures for the year 1910. Here we shall see that bees are credited with' producing worth of honey and worth of wax in a single year. But it was possible for the census enumerators to get track of only about half the amount of the grand total. A conservative esti mate based ou reliable data shows that honeybees should be credited with not less than $2 worth of honey and beeswax. But as the average person can not comprehend what this means, suppose we load all this honey into 40-foot freight-cars holding pounds each. These cars, if placed end to end, would make a solid train over fifty miles long. So the little bee is not so little as it might at first seem. There are in the United States in the neighborhood of one mil lion persons who keep bees. There are perhaps one thousand whose annual crops run up into the carloads, and probably who make beekeeping a means of livelihood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mason-Bees This volume contains all the essays on the Chalicodomae, or Mason-bees proper, which so greatly enhance the interest of the early volumes of the Souvenirs ento -mologiques. I have also included an essay on the author's Cats and one on Red Ants - the only study of Ants comprised in the Souvenirs-both of which bear upon the sense of direction possessed by the Bees. Those treating of the Osmiae, who are also Mason-bees, although not usually known by that name, will be found in a separate volume, which I have called Bramble Bees and Others, and in which I have collected all that Fabre has written on such other Wild Bees as the Megachiles, or Leaf-cutters, the Cotton-bees, the Resin-bees, and the Halicti.
