A historical guide to beekeeping in Texas

First published in 1902, Fred W. Mally’s handbook brings together an account of the A. & M. College experimental apiary and practical topics in bee keeping. Its contents range from bee life and habits, honey’s food value, and the economics of keeping bees to bee races, honey-plants, and ways to obtain bees. The book is framed around Texas conditions, making its regional perspective part of the subject. This edition also includes a newly commissioned introduction on bee-keeping. As a historical text, it offers a view of how apiary management and its practical concerns were presented in the early twentieth century.

Book overview

"A. & M. College Apiary" is a detailed and beginner-friendly guide to setting up and managing a profitable apiary, with chapters on contemporary techniques, different races of bee, honey-plants, common pitfalls, and much more. Although old, this book constitutes a timeless handbook on the subject and is not to be missed by modern enthusiasts. Contents include: "Report on the Experimental Apiary", "Bee Keeping", "Introduction", "Food Value of Honey", "Profit in Bee Keeping", "Races of Bees", "Black, or German Bees", "Carniolans", "Cyorians", "Holy Islands", "Italians", "Golden Italians", "Hybrids", "How to Secure Bee", "Life and Habits of the Bee", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping. This book was first published in 1902.
