The movable-frame hive changed beekeeping forever, and Neighbor was there to explain it. This 1865 edition covers modern hives, their exterior fittings, and how to handle bar-and-frame hives to harvest honey without destroying the colony. A clear early guide to keeping bees the improved way. Step up from the old straw skep.

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.
