Excerpt from Scientific Queen-Rearing, as Practically Applied: Being a Method by Which the Best of Queen-Bees Are Reared in Perfect Accord With Nature's WaysAs all bee-keepers of to-day are aware, I have given all of my best thoughts, on the subject which the desired book would cover, free to the world through our many bee papers, so, had I complied with the request made, the mat ter in the book would have been mainly that which I had written before and owing to this self-same cause, the reader will perhaps find some fault with the present work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Year's Work in an Out-Apiary: Or an Average of 114½ Pounds of Honey Per Colony in a Poor Season, and How It Was Done (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Year's Work in an Out-Apiary: Or an Average of 1141/2 Pounds of Honey Per Colony in a Poor Season, and How It Was Done The sun rose bright and clear on the morning of April 14, 1905, the morning of my sixtieth birthday; and as old Sol peered over the hill-top in all his golden splendor, kissing the swelling buds and cheer ing all animated nature with the intuition that spring has come, I proposed to Mr. Clark, my partner, that we go over to the out-apiary, five miles distant, and set the bees out of the cellar, the bees in the home apiary having been set out two or three days previously. The horse was soon hitched up, as the roads were too muddy and full of deep ruts for the auto, and we were at our destination before nine o'clock, with the stands all prepared for the bees.

G. M. Doolittle is often called the Father of Modern Queen Rearing, having developed the method of transferring young larvae from worker brood cells to special wax cups he fashioned from the rods of wooden rakes. Having spent over two decades to develop his methods, compare other systems, and evaluating the results, he finished the book on Christmas, 1888. The book was published by the American Bee Journal in 1889 and reprinted in 1899. This is a very useful book, and in many ways amazing due to Doolittle's insight into bee biology and the importance of quality queens in a beekeeping operation. An absolute must if you raise queens or plan to, this book is highly recommended for all beekeepers who are serious about learning how the beekeeper influences the quality of the queen and thus the entire hive. The reprint has 101 pages. It has been reset, images enhanced, and a Table of Contents added to help find Doolittle's many discussion threads.
