Bee books: old and useful

Comparing old texts to those that are considered upto date - when having read a wide selection of
what is available - the older ones help set the activity into a perspective.
It is instructive to read how techniques etc. were developed, became fashionable and then possibly
became redundant.
Texts may be lined up on a bookshelf - producing a type of life line of beekeeping.

I presume that this is the reasoning behind the creation of "archives"  - as seen in our own Bee-L
structure. I note that their contents are not deleted after a time span determined by utility.

Those interested in weather: Drought conditions covering most of France - with the S.E. of the
country being burnt away at rather a rapid rate at the moment.
Regards to all,
