. The Canadian bee-keepers' guide [microform] : an easy method of managing bees by use of the Thomas' patent moveable comb bee hive. Bee culture; Apiculture; Bees; Abeilles. \^ ^ 6 "3 S'l I PREFACE. ri44£f. As there is an interest being awakened in Canada in that very pleasing department of rural economy, bee-keeping, I take pleasure in offering to the public this little work, as a kind of introduction to a larger work to follow hereafter, as soon rs the results of certain experiments now going on shall be fully known. As other works on bee-keeping have been written by men living in a different climate from ours, it cannot be expected that they are in all respects adapted to this country. I have, therefore, endeavoured, in this work, to meet the wants of practical bee-keepers in Canada, by setting forth an easy method of managing bees in moveable-comb hives. I have also endeavoured to divest bee-keeping of a great amount of ignorance and superstition by which it has been en- shrouded in all ages. Though the work is small, I have sought to touch upon all important points in a manner, I trust, to make them sufficiently plain to be easily understood. If those just commencing bee-keeping will but follow the simple rules and advice I have given, they may be sure of some degree of success; while the more experienced apiarian will be led to acknowledge that improvement is the order of the day. I furthermore ask an impartial trial of my hive, a full description of which I have given in this work; believing, as I do, that while its extensive sale may prove somewhat remunerative to myself, its extensive use will prove even more so to those who purchase.
