What it is
The Hive and the Honey Bee is the comprehensive scholarly reference on honey bees and beekeeping. First published in 1853 by L.L. Langstroth as Hive and Honey-Bee, it has been continuously in print and revised across multiple editions; the current 2015 edition is edited by Joe M. Graham, with chapters contributed by recognized experts in each subject area — bee biology, anatomy, behavior, pheromone biology, breeding, queen rearing, pest management, honey chemistry, beeswax, and pollination.
Who it's for
The serious beekeeper, the bee scientist, the extension agent — anyone who needs a primary-source reference on a specific topic rather than a generalist overview. Each chapter is a starting point for deeper research and includes its own bibliography.
