18858287Chicago: Office of the American Bee Journal 1885. Octavo 17.5 x 13.4 cm 114 14 pages. Illustrations. Index. Advertisements. Publication date from the author's Fifty Years Among the Bees 1920 page 15. FIRST EDITION. Charles C. Miller 1831-1920 was a practical commercial beekeeper that specialized in comb honey production. Miller began as an amateur beekeeper. In 1861 his wife hived a swarm into a sugar barrel when it landed on their porch in after which he expanded his business steadily. Originally a physician but gave up that profession to keep bees and to write about beekeeping. By 1878 Miller's was making his living from keeping bees. He eventually settled in Illinois and expanded his honey farm to over 300 colonies of bees and became North America's largest producer of comb honey. His books include A Thousand Answers to Beekeeping Questions and Fifty Years Among the Bees. For many years he was also a popular advice columnist for the American Bee Journal. Part memoir part bee culture Miller began his personal account of the honey business in 1886 with A Year Among the Bees in which he announced he had "made the production of honey his exclusive business". Miller never made it to "sixty years among the bees" but what he lacked in originality with his titles he made up for in descriptive quality. Miller included detailed measurements of his hives for others to use and his later books include photos of beekeeping activities. Over the course of the next three decades the succession of Miller's bee books highlights not only his industry but the importance of frequent publication to the success of his business. The famed apicultural library at the University of Wisconsin is named after Miller. Age-toning to the first two signatures but internally clean and sound. in publisher's brown cloth gilt-titled at the spine. Some mottling to the top edge of the cloth otherwise very good.

They will find that by far the best schools I ever attended are schools open to them all-that the best teachers I ever had are though severe in their discipline always easy of access-and that the special form at which I was if I may say so most successful as a pupil was a form to which I was drawn by a strong inclination but at which I had less assistance from my brother men or even from books than at any of the others.
