Beekeeping Books

This is a small collection of books that are now in the public domain or to which permission has been given for private use.  These old texts can be very interesting though we would not recomend it for learning or teaching modern beekeeping.  See the books listed in the Beekeeping Resource Directory or Amazon.com for more recent beekeeping books.  Many other public domain books on beekeeping have also been made available from the Phillips' Beekeeping Collection at Cornell's Albert R. Mann Library.
