Curiosities of Beekeeping

There can be few subjects on which more books have been written than beekeeping. And yet many of them, in their attempt to educate and instruct, neglect the many curious aspects of the subject. Laurie Croft in Curiosities of Beekeeping paints a series of pictures designed to awaken interest in the many fascinating aspects of the craft. The book is divided into seven chapters each dealing with a different aspect of beekeeping. The compilation contains numerous fascinating anecdotes taken from many diverse, and often obscure, sources. The work concludes with an interesting appendix of beekeeping statistics.
