Produced from materials obtained at The Internet Archive (https://www.archive.org). "Bee Keeping" by Frank Benton is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to apiculture, detailing the practices necessary for successful bee keeping, including the different races of bees, hive management, and honey production techniques. The book is directed towards both beginners interested in starting their own apiary and experienced apiarists seeking to optimize their yields. The opening of the book introduces the context for the guide, explaining that the U.S. Department of Agriculture compiled it in response to numerous inquiries regarding successful bee management. Benton highlights the suitability of various locations for keeping bees, emphasizing that even unpromising environments can yield productive colonies if proper flora is present. He encourages readers by stating that nearly anyone can learn to manage bees with some patience and attention, setting the stage for the practical advice and detailed methodologies that will follow throughout the publication.
