Excerpt from The Apiary; Or, Bees, Bee-Hives, and Bee Culture: Being a Familiar Account of the Habits of Bees, and the Most Improved Methods of Management, With Full Directions, Adapted for the Cottager, Farmer, or Scientific Apiarian Our apology for preparing a bee book is a very simple one. We are so frequently applied to for advice on matters connected with bees and bee-hives, that it seemed likely to prove a great advantage, alike to our correspondents and ourselves, if we could point to a handy-book of our own, which should contain full and detailed replies sufficient to meet all ordinary enquiries. Most of the apiarian manuals possess some special excellence or other, and we have no wish to disparage any of them. Yet in all, we have found a want of explanations relating to several of the more recent improvements. It has, more especially, been our aim to give explicit and detailed directions on most subjects connected with the hiving and removing of bees; and also, to show how, by judicious application of the depriving system, the productive powers of the bees may be enormously increased.
