Abstract
THIS is a reprint of one of the best–planned books on practical bee–keeping known to the reviewer. The author perhaps allows his own preferences too much scope in his exclusive recommendation of the Italian bee, and in confining attention to the ‘Stoney–Archer’ type of hive, although the latter, in a simplified form, is now well known and widely used under the name of ‘National Standard’. The W.B.C. type—still the hive most used in Great Britain, and well suited to the climate—is dismissed in a few lines of criticism. Considerations of space would, however, probably make impossible the adequate description of more than one hive type; and the author's is a good choice.
