Summary "BEE-KEEPING FOR THE MANY; or, The Management of the Common and Ligurian Honey Bee" by J. H. Payne is a practical manual on apiculture written in the late 19th century. This work is aimed at both novice and experienced beekeepers and covers various aspects of bee management, including hive selection, seasonal care, and honey extraction. The likely topic revolves around creating a comprehensive understanding of beekeeping practices, specifically focusing on the common and Ligurian honey bees.
