ADVANCED Bee - Culture Its Methods and Management ************************************** This auction is for an original 1905 EDITION of "ADVANCED BEE CULTURE" by W. Z. Hutchinson. YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It was especially written for the "advanced bee keeper and those who are making a business of the pursuit." So rapid has been the progress made in bee keeping during the last fifteen years when the first edition appeared (1890), that Mr. Hutchinson has found it necessary to almost entirely rewrite it and revise everything in order to bring it up to date. The new edition (1905, 3rd ED.) will therefore be indispensable to those who wish to keep informed of all that is best and most profitable in bee keeping. Mr. Hutchinson was the editor of the Bee keeper's Review and has for many, many years made his living by keeping bees and Advanced Bee Culture is really the summing up of the best that has appeared in the Bee keeper's Review during the eighteen years of its existence. Here then we have the views of the most progressive men in the business thoroughly sifted through the experience of the author who has shown in this book how he can separate the grain from the chaff. Mr. Hutchinson is a pleasant and dear writer and has the faculty of interesting his readers. He has described in plain language what he believes to lie the most advanced methods of managing bees for profit from the beginning of the season throughout the entire year. The book is beautifully printed on art paper and contains 204 large 8vo pages bound in cloth. The remaining pages are interesting ADVERTISEMENTS from the period. Mr. Hutchinson is a skilled photographer so we are not surprised to find the work beautifully illustrated with half tone blocks. He was an earnest advocate of making bees a specialty and begins his book with a chapter on Bee Keeping as a Business urging his readers to keep more bees rather than introduce any other business with them. He admits that bee keeping is not an occupation in which one can become wealthy but rightly managed it will afford a comfortable living. How this has been done and is now being done in America is shown in the book before us. There are chapters on: "Making a Start in Bee Keeping" and "Mistakes in Bee Keeping" which are, both, very important. Subjects and many others among which that on "The Use and Abuse of Comb Foundation" will be found most interesting. It is impossible in a short review to mention all the good things to be found in the work and we recommend it to our readers generally while those who intend to make bee keeping a business will find it indispensable. ================================== CONDITION OF BOOK: Published in 1905, this book is in VERY GOOD+ CONDITION for its age and especially to be 111 YEARS OLD!!!
