Book Description
This illustrated account of beekeeping is rooted in the practical experience of G. M. Doolittle, whose techniques resulted in good yields of honey. Writing in the early 20th century, several of Doolittle's practical ideas hold some interest for the modern apiarist, in spite of how modern equipment has improved and evolved. Although the book is primarily aimed at the specialist who maintains many bee colonies as a line of work, the author explains that his observations can also serve as useful for the home-based hobbyist who aspires to raise only a single colony. Detailed drawings of the containers used and their handling are included, as are diagrams indicating how to manage the grasses and grounds around hives. We are shown how the bees are cared for, and several of Doolittle's methods for increasing the activity and yield. The techniques explained include supplying a colony with a queen through the use of a tubal cage, and protecting the valuable queens from harm during transport with carefully-built housing. We are also given advice on dealing with pests such as mice, and keeping bees happy and productive through changes in weather. Overall, Doolittle's experiences as a beekeeper are plainly written and brimming with wisdom.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Year's Work in an Out-Apiary: Or an Average of 1141/2 Pounds of Honey Per Colony in a Poor Season, and How It Was Done The sun rose bright and clear on the morning of April 14, 1905, the morning of my sixtieth birthday; and as old Sol peered over the hill-top in all his golden splendor, kissing the swelling buds and cheer ing all animated nature with the intuition that spring has come, I proposed to Mr. Clark, my partner, that we go over to the out-apiary, five miles distant, and set the bees out of the cellar, the bees in the home apiary having been set out two or three days previously. The horse was soon hitched up, as the roads were too muddy and full of deep ruts for the auto, and we were at our destination before nine o'clock, with the stands all prepared for the bees.
