Taken from the sixty-fifth annual report of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, this is an analysis of the importance of honey in the early twentieth century. It discusses how the demand for honey sharply increased in Europe with the outbreak of the First World War, and explores what this means for American bee-keepers. It also looks at other aspects of the industry, including honey-plants and apiary management. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of bee-keeping, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.
