Bee Hunting

A book of valuable information for bee hunters - tells how to line bees to trees, etc.

Bee Hunting is one of Harding's Pleasure and Profit Books. The author, John Ready Lockard, explains in plain language how to attract wild bees, using scent and bait, and then follow them (known as bee lining) to their home high in a distant tree, or sometimes in unexpected places.

Bee lining instructions are given for different times of the year, lining from different food sources, such as sumac and buckwheat, or from water, and how to harvest the comb. Mr. Lockard give his opinion on the proper method of burning to attract bees, a bit of history of bee keeping equipment, ownership customs, and the profits that can be made.
