Farmers' Bulletin 447; Bees

By Everett Franklin Phillips

A concise, steady beacon for curious minds and patient hands alike. This is a book that quiets the noise of modern farming fads and invites you to the steady craft of beekeeping. Bees, by Everett Franklin Phillips, functions as a thorough beekeeping manual and agricultural bulletin rolled into one accessible guide. It offers practical honey bee management and bee colony management wisdom, conveyed with clarity for beekeeping beginners while still offering a depth that seasoned hobbyists will value. The text is rooted in early twentieth century america, yet its guidance speaks to today's farmstead hobbyists who seek reliable, time-tested methods and a sensible approach to honey production guidance. Philosophically, the work stands as a window onto united states agriculture history, capturing the ethos of small scale apiary literature and the practical ethics of responsible husbandry. Its pages encourage patience, observation, and care, virtues that resonate with readers who treasure classic-literature sensibilities as much as modern practical knowledge. For collectors and readers of classic manuals, the book is a cultural treasure and a touchstone of its era, offering both historical texture and timeless technique. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this title is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it speaks to beekeeping beginners, farmstead hobbyists, and anyone drawn to the quiet craft at the heart of sustainable farming.
