Excerpt from First Lessons in Beekeeping
This short treatise tor beginners Is an entirely rewritten edition of the now exhausted book published In 1911 by George W. York and Co.
Less extensive than our revision of the "Hive and Honey Bee," It yet contains the moat practical of modern methods available in our day. But as simplicity Is Important we have kept It In mind and difficult methods will not be found here. However a still more elementary work 1b given In our "Bee Primer." which, at the low price of fifteen cents, has found a great welcome among prospective beekeepers.
This book is especially Intended for colleges and schools giving short courses In bee culture. A few years ago such courses were not thought of. But they are annually becoming more numerous. Blind beekeeping Is still less profitable than blind farming. The hive has long been a sealed book. It should be opened to the prospective apiarist before he attempts to keep bees. The bee owner who depends upon luck is an obstruction to the success of others, for disease and degenerescence of his bees are sure to follow from his lack of knowledge and method.
The different subjects treated In this work are marked, for reference, at the head of the paragraphs, with serial numbers. When reference Is made to another part of the book, the serial number Is Inserted In parenthesis, so that the student will easily find all references to the subject which ho studies. Likewise, the index refers to the paragraphs and not to the pages of the book.
The different species of living animals number over a quarter of a million. Among this vast concourse of life, for Instructive lessons none can rival the marvelous transformations that insect life undergoes In its development! The repulBlve maggot of today may tomorrow be the active little fly, visiting leaf and flower. The repugnant caterpillar may to-morrow be decked with green and gold, through Its speedy transformation to the butterfly, of brilliant tints and gorgeous beauty.
This Is not more wonderful than are the transformations from the egg to the tiny larva, from the larva to the pupa, and from the pupa to the fully developed honeybee, with Its wondrous Instincts and marvelous habits. There is a fascination about the apiary that Is Indescribable. Every scientific beekeeper Is an enthusiast. The economy of the beehive presents to the thougthful student both admiration and delight.
