Fifty Years Among the Bees by C. C. Miller Pdf

One of the few people of his time who actually made a living from bees, C. C. Miller made beekeeping his sole business, beginning as a hobby in 1861 and continuing until his death in 1920, following a long and distinguished career that produced many articles and books on the subject. This volume, long a classic within the beekeeping community, is a practical, yet endlessly charming handbook on all aspects of a romantic and arcane pursuit. Offering advice, observations, and information gleaned from more than a half-century of beekeeping, it covers, among many other topics, the importance of keeping hives clean and well-ventilated, mending combs, maintaining proper hive temperatures, winter storage, the Queen's nursery, harvesting honey, plus a special section of recipes that range from honey cake to salves for frostbite. Written by a major figure in apiculture history, this volume remains a standard text on hive management and the practices and principles of efficient, effective beekeeping.

Fifty Years Among the Bees (Classic Reprint) by C. C. Miller Pdf

Excerpt from Fifty Years Among the Bees In the year 1886 there was published a little book written by me entitled "A Year Among the Bees." In 1902 it was enlarged and appeared under the title "Forty years Among the Bees." In preparation for the present edition. I undertook the revision with little thought of the number of changes to be made or the number of pages to be added in order to bring it fully up to date (about one-eighth being new matter), but it is hoped that the changes and additions may make it of more value to the reader. As I began beekeeping in 1861, fifty years ago, the present name seems appropriate. However much some personal friends may like the brief biographical sketch that occupies the first few pages, others may think that the space could have been better occupied. There remains, however, the privilege of skipping those few pages. Most of the pictures are from photographs taken by myself or under my immediate supervision, at least so far as concerns "touching the button"; the Eastman Kodak Co. "did the rest."

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...it was valuable to me, and for some circumstances nothing may be better. The plan, in brief, was this: The queen being caged and left in the hive, all queen-cells are cut out in five days from the time the swarm issued, and five days later all queen-cells are again cut out and the queen set at liberty. I used this one season with great satisfaction, and I do not remember that any colony thus treated swarmed again. VARYING DOOLITTLE'S PLAN. The next season I variea the pian. Instead of leaving the queen with the colony to remain idle for ten days, I took her away and gave her to a nucleus, a new colony, or wherever a queen was needed. At the end of the ten days I returned her to the colony, placing her directly upon a comb taken from the middle of the brood-nest. Often, however, I gave them a different queen, for after an absence of ten days, I doubt if they could tell their own queen from any other. Besides, they were in a condition to take any queen without grumbling. After the first year, however, I had some colonies swarm again after the queen was given them. Whether it was the season, the change in the plan, or some other cause, I am unable to say. PUT-UP PLAN. I then adopted a plan which relieved me of the necessity of hunting for and cutting out queen-cells. No matter how careful I might be, there was always a possibility that I might overlook a queen-cell, although this very rarely happened, if ever. But it took a good deal of valuable time. I give herewith the plan, which I think an improvement: When a swarm issues and returns, it is ready for treatment immediately; although usually it is put down in my memorandum of work to be done, and the time set for it may be the next day or any time within five days, just as suits my...

Beekeeping by C. Miller Pdf

Writing part memoir, part bee culture, Miller began his personal account of the honey business in 1886 with A Year Among the Bees, in which he announced he had "made the production of honey his exclusive business" for eight years. This was expanded into Forty Years Among the Bees (1903, 2nd ed. 1906), then into his classic, Fifty Years Among the Bees (1911), culminating with A Thousand Answers to Beekeeping Questions (1917). Miller also edited the American Bee Journal and produced a popular monthly advice column answering reader's questions.[6] In honor of his fifty years of writing about apiculture and his gift of his personal beekeeping library, the University of Wisconsin named its apicultural library the Dr. Charles C. Miller Memorial Apicultural Library.
