We are fortunate in Scotland to have a wonderful old collection of
 books connected with beekeeping called the Moir Library -the books in
the Moir Library belong to the Scottish Beekeepers Association (SBA) and
most are housed in the Fountainbridge library in Edinburgh.
 However a collection of the oldest/rarest books (the Moir Rare Books
Collection), with material dating back to 1525,  has been loaned to The
National Library of Scotland and some of the material can be accessed at
http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/moir/collector.html

Indebted to SBA Library Convener Tom McGravie
