This volume contains a detailed treatise on British 'bee plants', with information on height, scent, distribution, season, and more. This comprehensive catalogue contains an almost encyclopedic amount of information on the plants discussed, making this the perfect volume for those with an interest in the topic and an ideal addition to serious collections of bee-related literature. Although old, the information contained herein is timeless, and it will be of as much use to modern readers as it was when first published. The chapters of this book include: 'The Flower Garden', 'Annuals', 'Biennials', 'Perennials', 'Bulbous Flowering Plants', 'Summer Bedding Plants', 'The Kitchen Garden', 'Herbs', 'Hardy Fruits and Nuts', 'Flowering Shrubs', 'Trees', 'Farm Corps and Pasturage', 'Wild Flowers and Weeds', 'Bees and Bee Fodder', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on bee-keeping.
