Straight to the ledger: this is bee-keeping pitched as a paying enterprise. W. S. Morley covers hives, the beekeeper's requisites, bee habits and products, and the flowers that feed a colony through the season. Compact, businesslike guidance for the smallholder who wants honey to earn. Set up an apiary that returns more than it costs.

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.
