Abstract
IN this new edition of Dr. Bevan's well known work, Major Munn has given a full account of all the improved hives and methods of management, and of the most recent discoveries in the economy and physiology of bees. The old and the new matter are, however, so interwoven, that it is impossible for the reader to separate them; and as the original author and his editor both speak in the first person, we find ourselves continually at a loss to know whether we are reading “Bevan” or “Munn,” except in those cases where some reference to dates enables us to decide.
The Honey Bee; its Natural History, Physiology, and Management.
By Edward Bevan. Revised, Enlarged, and Illustrated by William Augustus Munn, F.R.H.S., &c. (Van Voorst, 1870.)
