| Summary | "Bee-Keeping for Profit" by W. S. Morley is a practical guide on apiculture written in the early 20th century. This publication discusses techniques and methodologies for bee-keeping aimed at both novices and experienced apiarists seeking to maximize their honey yield. It explores the scientific basis of bee behavior, hive management, and the necessary tools and tips for successful bee-keeping. The opening of the text presents an introduction to the science of bee-keeping, emphasizing the shift from traditional methods to more systematic approaches enabled by scientific research. Morley reassures budding bee-keepers that with diligence and intelligence, they can achieve success despite initial doubts and challenges. He outlines key factors for profitable bee-keeping, including regularity in work, the significance of hive selection, and the role of the bees, particularly focusing on the queen, workers, and drones. The subsequent chapters promise detailed insights into various topics, including how to handle bees, optimizing hive conditions, feeding practices, and hive diseases, all set to guide the reader toward becoming a proficient bee-keeper.
