Beekeeping By Twentieth Century Methods The Classic Manual on Apiculture
Author: J. E. Hand

?Mr. Hand is one of the best-informed bee-keepers in the United States. He has worked out a unique system, which, while not original in the basic principles employed, is original in manner of applying those principles. That the Hand system will revolutionize methods of swarm control, is somewhat a question; but we do believe it is worthy of care... more »ful and thorough trial on the part of the unprejudiced. The public will be quick to measure its value, and will unerringly decide whether it is better and cheaper to apply than other systems of management.? ?O. Medina ?In view of the many excellent works covering the rudimentary principles of apiculture, it would seem that one should offer an apology for introducing another; and were it not for the fact that this work opens up an unexploited field of American apicultural methods and appliances it would not have been written. I assume that the reader possesses a fair knowledge, either theoretical or practical, of the first principles of bee-keeping. As its title implies, this work is a radical departure from the stereotyped style of former works upon subjects pertaining to bee-keeping. It seeks to lift bee-keepers out of the old ruts and place their feet on smooth ground by introducing principles that eliminate all unnecessary manipulation with bees. ?It reduces the complex methods of honey-production to a very simple science with few manipulations, enabling the bee-keeper to care for twice as many colonies as formerly with a given amount of labor, and at the same time makes it possible for him to enjoy the blessing of perfect control of bees.? ?
