A Description of the Bar-and-Frame-Hive - Paperback

by W. Augustus Munn (Author)

A Description of the Bar-and-Frame-Hive is a classic beekeeping work by W. Augustus Munn. Having been frequently requested to explain the use of the bar-and-frame-hive, in the management of bees, I have been induced to print the following pamphlet, to point out the advantages this new hive possesses over the common ones. I have added extracts from various authorities to show the importance of transporting bees for a change of pasturage, and thus prolonging the honey harvest. Regarding the natural history of the bee, I have merely stated a few of the leading facts connected with that interesting subject, drawn from Wildman's Book on Bee-management.
