"Sports" and "variations" occur, producing inferior progeny; but all careful breeders who have an eye to the improvement of the race reject those that do not come up to the "standard of excellence," sending such animals and poultry to the shambles--so let us carefully select the best queens and drones to breed from. Length of Tongues The length of the tongue (Fig. 13) of the honey-bee is an important matter in her make-up, as there are some blossoms, such as red clover, which have so long a corolla that the average bee cannot reach their nectar. The Cyprian bee is said to have a longer tongue than other races, but its cross disposition renders it unfit for general domestication.

First Lessons in Beekeeping, first published in 1917 and revised in 1957, remains a classic introduction to the art and science of beekeeping. Written by Camille Pierre (C. P.) Dadant, the son of Charles Dadant (considered one of the fathers of modern beekeeping), the book's chapters include: Beekeeping As An Occupation; How The Colony Is Organized; The Complete Hive; Accessory Equipment; Establishing The Colony; Spring In the Apiary; Summer In The Apiary; Fall And Winter Preparation; Queen Management; Diseases And Enemies; Honey Plants; and Packing Honey For Market. Illustrated with b/w photographs. Although the book lacks descriptions of recent diseases and insect pests of honeybees, the basic principles of apiary management outlined in First Lessons in Beekeeping make the book a invaluable introduction to beekeeping.
