The beekeeper houses his bee colonies in artificial nesting cavities, known as beehives. Inside, they are protected from weather influences and the interference of other animals, along with their brood nest. Modern beekeeping employs modular hives, allowing for the quick migration of colonies to productive foraging areas. The mobile comb construction enables the beekeeper to make numerous interventions in the natural processes of a bee colony. By adding a honey super during the main foraging period, honey can be harvested without issues. The mobile comb frames also allow for the artificial reproduction of bee colonies and the adjustment of stronger and weaker colonies for optimal harvesting. This practical beekeeping textbook is illustrated with 74 black-and-white images. It is a reprint of the original edition from 1922.
