The #1 Amazon Besteller in both featured categories, 'Entomology' and 'Insects & Spiders'Hello!Thankyou for taking the time to look at my book.If you have a taste for honey or an adventurous side, maybe you have thought of becoming a beekeeper. What would you really be in for, though? Is it really a job, or is it a fun way to get your own honey? Well, it's really both. Being a beekeeper is a lot of work, but it also has a lot of benefits. Anyone can do it, as long as they know to be prepared. You can't just wake up one day and decided to be a beekeeper and start immediately without knowing what you are doing.That's why I have written this book. Within its pages, you will find out what tools you need to be a beekeeper, what to expect from your hive, how to harvest your honey and how to protect the hive from various problems and invaders. I'll teach you what types of bees are best to keep, the jobs of each bee in the hive, how to choose and position your hives and more.Apiculture is complicated and very involving on even the smallest scale. But it is incredibly rewarding and can be a unique part of you life, as well as a beneficial influence to the environment, both locally and globally.Oh, eating the honey from your very own hive is rather wonderful too!When I started keeping bees, I spent a lot of time and money on a lot of books before I was sure that apiculture was going to be a part of my life.This easy to read, beginners book, summarizes the essential information I have learned over the years, and is written to help you decide if beekeeping will fit into your life.Best wishes, Frank

Description

This volume was published in 1916 and explains the methods of production and marketing of honey that was popular in the early 20th century. From the book's Foreword: The author's earliest recollections are of days with his grandfather among the bees. One of the proudest days of his whole life was the first time he was permitted to cut a limb from an apple tree on which a swarm had clustered. With a lifetime of intimate association with the bees and a wide acquaintance among the bee-keepers of the nation, it may not be regarded as surprising that he should undertake to set down in this book the information gleaned from so many sources. In no other pursuit, perhaps, do the originators' names cling to the articles of equipment or methods of manipulation, as in bee-keeping. Most of the articles of equipment, as well as methods in common use, bear the name of the man with whom they originated — the Langstroth hive, Porter bee escape, Alex- ander feeder, Hoot smoker. Miller queen cage, and so on throughout the entire field of apiculture. So firmly established has this custom become, that a writer is in danger of being accused of plagiarism if he describes a method without the originator's name in connection. While the author has followed the usual custom, in the main, some methods have become so generally adopted that it hardly seems necessary to continue the practice. It is not with any intention of claiming as original any of these plans that the originator's name has occasionally been omitted, but rather because it does not seem needful with matters so fully credited already. While the author believes that a few minor methods herein described are original with him, this book is not presented for the purpose of exploiting original material, but rather to de- scribe the accepted methods found valuable by extensive honey producers, under the greatest variety of conditions. The best has been gleaned from every possible source. While most of the illustrations are from the author's original photographs or drawings made especially for this book, acknowl- edgment should be made for a number that are reproduced by permission from " Gleanings in Bee Culture," " The American Bee Journal," and other sources. Contents: 1. Bee-Keeping a Fascinating Pursuit II. The Business of Bee-Keeping III. Making a Start With Bees IV. Arrangement of the Apiary V. Sources of Nectar VI. The Occupants of the Hive VII. Increase VIII. Feeding IX. Production of Comb Honey X. Production of Extracted Honey XI. Wax, a By-product of the Apiary XII. Diseases and Enemies of Bees XIII. Wintering XIV.

Organic Beekeeping 101 focuses on raising bees the way nature intended. The purpose of the DVD is to enable anyone to become a beekeeper.

Professionally filmed footage in a step-by-step format enables new beekeepers to establish and maintain their own hives using organic principles.

Randy Sue Collins demonstrates how to start your own backyard hive, from building the hive stand to collecting the honey. The DVD follows Randy Sue as she goes on a swarm call and starts new hives from "scratch", while close-up high definition video takes you deep into the workings of an active hive.

The DVD also includes a forward that describes the plight of the honeybee in the United States and ways in which anyone can contribute to the health of the environment and the honeybee.

This DVD is based on fully organic principles. Randy Sue believes that bees, left to their own natural processes, become their own pest control agents. Bees developing resistance to mites, pests and fungus will survive without support of chemicals or other pest control practices.
