A Manual or an Easy Method of Managing Bees

"A Manual: Or An Easy Method of Managing Bees: In the Most Profitable Manner to Their Owner, with Infallible Rules to Prevent Their Destruction by the Moth" by John Moseley Weeks is one of the premier books for bee-keepers, even now, nearly two centuries after it was first published. Maintaining bees is a tough job that requires patience and a delicate balance of elements to ensure the bees are able to thrive. Though some things may have changed with scientific advancements, keeping a hive healthy really hasn't changed that much since Weeks first wrote about it.
