    About this ebook

    This is a vintage article concerning "The Roller Entrance Bottom Board", a bee-hive modification that improves ventilation and helps prevent bees from swarming. This book is highly recommended for modern bee-keepers, and it would make for a useful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "For the Queen Breeder", "How to Operate the Entrance Bottom Board During Swarming Time", "Testimonials", and "Maple Lawn Apiary". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on Bee-keeping.

      Bee Keeping

      Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin: apis ‘bee’) is quite simply, the maintenance of honey bee colonies. A beekeeper (or apiarist) keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces (including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary or ‘bee yard.’ Depictions of humans collecting honey from wild bees date to 15,000 years ago, and efforts to domesticate them are shown in Egyptian art around 4,500 years ago. Simple hives and smoke were used and honey was stored in jars, some of which were found in the tombs of pharaohs such as Tutankhamun.

      The beginnings of ‘bee domestication’ are uncertain, however early evidence points to the use of hives made of hollow logs, wooden boxes, pottery vessels and woven straw baskets. On the walls of the sun temple of Nyuserre Ini (an ancient
