First Lessons in Beekeeping, first published in 1917 and revised in 1957, remains a classic introduction to the art and science of beekeeping. Written by Camille Pierre (C. P.) Dadant, the son of Charles Dadant (considered one of the fathers of modern beekeeping), the book's chapters include: Beekeeping As An Occupation; How The Colony Is Organized; The Complete Hive; Accessory Equipment; Establishing The Colony; Spring In the Apiary; Summer In The Apiary; Fall And Winter Preparation; Queen Management; Diseases And Enemies; Honey Plants; and Packing Honey For Market. Illustrated with b/w photographs. Although the book lacks descriptions of recent diseases and insect pests of honeybees, the basic principles of apiary management outlined in First Lessons in Beekeeping make the book a invaluable introduction to beekeeping.
