Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Apiary: Or, Beehives, and Bee Culture
HE present issue of our handbook may be fairly said' to be really a new work. Not that the greater portion of it has been consecutively re written, nor yet that the larger half of the former matter has wholly disappeared; but the additions of entirely new sections and half-sections, the transpositions with a view to facilitating reference, the erasures of what is either out of date or only repetition-in short, the thorough over hauling of the text from beginning to end - are such as to render the form in which it is now presented a new book rather than an ordinary fresh edition. First as to our own department, the practical appliances. The descriptions of several-hives and apparatus that have gone out of use have been removed to make room for the much larger number of new and improved inventions.
