Publisher’s hardcover, encyclopedic format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1955 edition is one of the most authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedias on beekeeping ever published in the USSR. Compiled by a team of leading industry experts, including Kh. N. Abrikosov and L. V. Aleksandrova, it served as the definitive desk reference for generations of both professional apiarists and dedicated amateurs. Released by the Selkhozgiz publishing house, the handbook covers every facet of apiary management during the post-war period.\u003cbr\u003eThe dictionary contains over a thousand alphabetically arranged entries that provide detailed descriptions of honeybee biology, forage resources, breeding methods, and colony maintenance, as well as techniques for disease and pest control. Special emphasis is placed on the technologies for harvesting and processing bee products, including honey, wax, propolis, and pollen. The volume is richly illustrated with detailed technical drawings of various hive systems, specialized tools (such as honey extractors and wax melters), and botanical illustrations of nectar-producing plants.\u003cbr\u003eThis book reflects the extensive practical experience of Soviet beekeeping accumulated by the mid-20th century. It offers time-tested advice on organizing migratory apiaries and maximizing honey yields. Despite its age, many of the biological insights and traditional methodologies remains highly relevant today, making it a valuable guide for modern proponents of ecological and sustainable beekeeping.\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors of agricultural literature, historians of agronomy, and practicing beekeepers, this dictionary in its original hardcover is a significant bibliographical artifact. It is not merely a technical manual, but a monument to an era when beekeeping was regarded as a vital component of food security and the cultural fabric of rural life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963205845034,"sku":"EB-306549676838","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_331542e3-6b79-4e85-a305-d07cd35f357a.jpg?v=1768162550","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%b0%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%be%d1%81%d0%be%d0%b2-%d1%81%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%8c-%d1%81%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b2%d0%be%d1%87%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%ba-%d0%bf%d1%87%d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%be%d0%b4%d0%b0-1955-beekeeping-dictionary-handbook-ussr","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
