"Bee Keeping" by Frank Benton is a manual that introduces the scientific practices and techniques of apiculture in the early 1900s. Created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it acts as a guide detailing everything from hive management to honey production to assist those new to bee keeping. The guide presents different kinds of bees and stresses how important it is to have the correct setting for growing thriving colonies, while also supporting the claim that almost anyone can keep bees if they pay close attention to them.
