Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1880)
Lizzie E., Mrs. Cotton
A woman ran a paying apiary in an era that assumed she could not, and wrote down her system. Mrs. Lizzie Cotton lays out breeding, controlled swarming, patent and non-patent hives, and her feed recipe for early swarms. This 1880 edition is practical, opinionated, and built for profit. Keep bees for money with a confident guide who did it herself.
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.
