Summary "The Apiary; or, Bees, Bee-Hives, and Bee Culture" by Alfred Neighbor is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work provides a detailed exploration of the habits of bees, advanced management methods, and aims to serve as a practical guide for cottagers, farmers, and scientifically inclined apiarists. The text emphasizes the importance of bee-keeping as a profitable and socially beneficial practice, enhancing both personal enrichment and community welfare. The opening of the book begins with a preface highlighting its purpose: to create a comprehensive and accessible resource for anyone interested in bee culture. Neighbor articulates the growing popularity of bee-keeping and the need for improved methods that build a bridge between traditional and modern practices. He addresses two key demographics that would benefit from this knowledge—small farmers looking to boost their income and individuals seeking a rewarding hobby. The initial chapters outline the natural history of bees, introducing the hierarchical structure within a hive, including the queen, drones, and worker bees, while setting the stage for a deeper understanding of their roles and behaviors in subsequent sections.
