    The History of American Beekeeping,
    by Frank C. Pellett

    Reprint of the 1938 classic. Pellett reviews the development of beekeeping ideas, equipment, tools and processes.

    There is considerable attention to Langstroth, Doolittle, Root, Dadant and other industry pioneers. Hive types, smokers, extractors, queen rearing, beekeeping organizations and much, much more!

    This is one of the few comprehensive books ever written on the history of American beekeeping.

    Authored by the late American Bee Journal editor, Frank C. Pellett, in 1938 this once very rare book has been reprinted in its entirety, along with its original historical photos.

    This is a fascinating and valuable historical document that details the rise of American beekeeping and the beekeeping pioneers who made it happen.

    Where else are you going to find out the "who's" and "why's" of everything having to do with North American beekeeping history?

    Hardcover, 213 pages

    • We read about honey harvested around the world last month.. so let's continue with a look in our own backyard in days gone by. Hey- the club readers chose this one instead of fiction.. let's do this!

    November's Book "The Honey Trail" turned out to be not only intereting and easy to read, but also super-informative, taking readers around the world and into far-flung places where bees are kept and honey is produced.

    Many nuggets of knowledge were gathered during the read then discussed at the club meeting and at home- like honey-funded terrorism and Russia's closed-mouth unwillingness to share its industry practices, to name just two. Quite interesting!
