Abstract
THE honey-bee has been more extensively and deeply studied than any other insect. The craft of bee-keeping has perhaps the most complex technique that has ever been developed for the domestication, or perhaps it is safer to say the exploitation, of any livestock. This is due to the highly developed social life of the bee, with its infinite variety of possible reactions to stimuli not always understood or controllable by man. It is not surprising therefore, that there is a very extensive literature dealing with the science, art and craft of bee culture.
