"The Preparation of Bees for Outdoor Wintering" by Everett Franklin Phillips is a guide created around the time of World War I to help beekeepers keep their bee colonies alive through the winter so they can make more honey. The book explains how to make sure bees have strong colonies, how to pack them up properly, and how to set up their homes. It also talks about how much insulation bees need depending on the weather, how much food they require to get through the winter, and when beekeepers should pack and unpack the hives in different parts of the US. Following this advice helps beekeepers prevent bees from dying in winter, ensuring they have healthy bees ready to work when spring comes, which was especially important during difficult periods.
