{"product_id":"9780486317762","title":"Fifty Years Among the Bees","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the few people of his time who actually made a living from bees, C. C. Miller made beekeeping his sole business, beginning as a hobby in 1861 and continuing until his death in 1920, following a long and distinguished career that produced many articles and books on the subject. This volume, long a classic within the beekeeping community, is a practical, yet endlessly charming handbook on all aspects of a romantic and arcane pursuit. Offering advice, observations, and information gleaned from more than a half-century of beekeeping, it covers, among many other topics, the importance of keeping hives clean and well-ventilated, mending combs, maintaining proper hive temperatures, winter storage, the Queen's nursery, harvesting honey, plus a special section of recipes that range from honey cake to salves for frostbite. Written by a major figure in apiculture history, this volume remains a standard text on hive management and the practices and principles of efficient, effective beekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106868314352,"sku":"9780486317762","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486317762_p0.jpg?v=1763709021","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486317762","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
