Summary "Bees" by Everett Franklin Phillips is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to beekeeping, providing detailed information about the practice, management strategies, and the biology of bees, thus catering to both amateur enthusiasts and professionals alike. It likely addresses practical aspects of maintaining bee colonies effectively to maximize honey and wax production while also highlighting issues related to bee behavior, equipment, and industry standards. The opening of the book presents an introductory overview of beekeeping, emphasizing its dual role as both a leisure activity and a potential source of profit. Phillips discusses the significance of starting with a small number of hives to gain experience while gradually expanding operations as one becomes more adept. The text further outlines essential considerations such as selecting the right location for apiaries, the importance of using hives with movable frames, and the necessity of understanding bee behavior to ensure successful beekeeping. By addressing these fundamental topics, the beginning of "Bees" sets the stage for a more in-depth exploration of bee culture, management techniques, and best practices that follow in the subsequent chapters.
