Description

The Bee Preserver; or, Practical Directions for the Management and Preservation of Hives

Having attained old age, I think it a duty, before quitting the world, to communicate to the public the observations I have made during sixty-four years that I have been occupied with bees. From my earliest years I have been very fond of these admirable insects. I began to observe them under the direction of my father, Jacques de Gelieu, pastor of the church of Bayards, and afterwards of that of Verrieres, in the principality of Neuchatel. He instructed me in the principles of this interesting study, and taught me to like and to admire it, by making me read the memoirs of the immortal Reaumur, - 2 - with whom he had the honour to correspond. Being a nice observer, he had prepared, so early as 1746, a work in two volumes, entitled "A New and Economical Method for the Preservation and Increase of Bees, and how to procure a more abundant supply of Honey and Wax." But when his work was ready for the press, he lost in one day, by an unfortunate accident, the whole of his hives except one, which he presented to me, and which I subsequently managed under his direction. Thrown from that time into a succession of pressing occupations, he lost sight of the printing of his work, which is now in my possession, in his own handwriting. It contains the description of the storied hive, of which he was the inventor, and which has since been so variously modified. These hives have been made known only through his correspondence with M. de Reaumur, and other literary men, as will appear from the note at the end of this Preface. In the collection of observations which I now present to the public, I limit myself to what is strictly practical, leaving to superior minds, the Swammerdams, the Reaumurs, the Shirachs,- 3 - the Hubers, to dive into the theory with which they are so successfully engaged. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
