The movable frame changed beekeeping forever, and here is one of its early champions making the case. William Munn describes his bar-and-frame hive, the apiary itself, the enemies that plague bees, and the delicate work of swarming and hiving. Concrete workshop guidance from the age when hives became something you could open and read. Build a hive you can actually manage.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
