Excerpt from The Bee-Keeper's Manual the Honey Bee, Manage Its Management and Preservation: With a Description of the Best Approved Hives, and Other Appliances of the Apiary Henry Taylor To turn from the general to the particular, the vast and valuable additions to our scientific know ledge that have resulted from half a century of German investigations have been extensively utilised in the revision of those sections which deal with the natural history of the bee. In nearly every page old errors have been rectified, or newly-ascertained facts given insertion; whilst the marvellous repro ductive economy of the insect has now for the first time received notice in the work. The importation of the Italian variety has provided occasion for another additional section, and in fine this first portion of the volume has grown from the twenty small pages of the sixth edition to the forty-five enlarged ones which are presented to the reader now.
