About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1879. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... appendix. the italian or ligurian bee--its advantages and acclimatization. Description of the Italian or Ligurian Bee--The manner of introducing strange Queens into a Hive, and hence of introducing Italian Queens--Means of preserving a pure Breed. Italian bees, called also Ligurians, are natives of countries on the other side of the Alps. These bees have the same organization as those found on this side of the Alps, with this difference only--that the two first rings of the abdomen are either of a yellowish brown or straw colour, depending on the locality. They are also longer in the body than the bees of our country, and they have the great advantage, owing to the length of their tongue, of being able to gather honey from the calyx of flowers, to which the other bees cannot reach. The Alps, with their eternal snows, have been a hindrance to the crossing of the breed, so that it is only in the last few years that they have been introduced into Germany, France, and even into America. Dzierzon, the father of rational apiculture, contributed much to their introduction into Germany; and it seems that they are kept very generally in German Switzerland, to judge from the exhibition at Weinfelden, where, out of thirty or more stocks which were exhibited, two only consisted of ordinary bees. A queen with a few bees, sent by post, during the months of March, April, May, or June, is sufficient to produce a pure-bred colony of Italians from which a cross with the common bees may easily be obtained. It often happens that, by means of crossing, a hive of common bees becomes completely Italianized; and if, as is sometimes the case, the Italian bees lose their colour, they nevertheless retain their characteristic properties....
