Description
Written by the scion of a celebrated family of beekeepers, this profusely illustrated volume contains reader-friendly information on bee anatomy, different types of hives, honey production, wintertime beekeeping, other practical matters. Camille Pierre Dadant (1851-1938) was the son of Charles Dadant, one of the fathers of modern beekeeping techniques, inventor of the Dadant beehive, and founder of one of the first beekeeping equipment manufacturers. The business is still extant and run by the family, as is their publication, The American Bee Journal.
