Bee Hunting: A Book Of Valuable Information For Bee Hunters Tells How To Line Bees To Trees, Etc.

By John Ready Lockard

Book Overview

A brisk, old-world field guide for curious minds and patient hands. A timeless invitation to watch the natural world, and to learn from it with care and tenacity. Bee Hunting offers practical insight into bee locating methods, bee behaviour study, and honey bee ecology through the eyes of nineteenth-century America. This vibrant, outdoor practical handbook reads like a conversation with a thoughtful amateur beekeeper, guiding readers through how to line bees to trees, track their patterns, and read the countryside as a living classroom. Its clear, reverent prose invites field-guide readers and casual readers alike to discover the rhythms of rural American countryside life, and to explore a rich tradition of natural history that blends science with craft. Historically significant as a window into a pre-modern beekeeping culture, the book sits within a beekeeping classics collection as a landmark anthology of natural history. For collectors and lovers of classic literature, it is more than a reprint; Alpha Editions restores a cultural treasure for today's and future generations, while preserving the voice of an era when hobbyists pursued knowledge with quiet dedication. This edition honours the spirit of the original, offering a refined, accessible entry point for both the curious reader and the devoted collector.
