A Book About Bees - Their History, Habits, and Instincts, Together With the First Principles of Modern Bee-Keeping for Young Readers #226401

Guides' to the management of Bees; neither have I attempted in any way to produce a scientific treatise. I have simply endeavoured to write an introduction to the subject suitable to young readers and, while impressing the importance of habits of observation, have sought to unfold to them one little page of the vast Book of Nature; and, by showing some of the simplest of the many wonders of bee life, to give them that interest in the subject which may lead them to desire to know more, and, after wards, to take up Bee-keeping for themselves, with that knowledge which, while it adds tenfold to the interest, is more or less absolutely necessary to make it profitable.
