Yes, but if Moses wrote it......:angelsad2: its a fair price...

Difficult to swallow coffee with tongue firmly in cheek!
 
Chicken feed!

Err.. no..
 
interesting to see that he has imposed the society he knows from royal court on the bees REX ( king), Duc (court of Dukes) plebs ( workers) Fuci (Males)

not polictically correct in those days to say the Queen rules :D
 
I have seen this copy before(Same signature inside),it was being sold by a specialist London dealer but is now held by someone in oxford.

It was for sale before at the same price..
 
According to the photo he was 'Beemaster to the King's Most Excellent Majesty'. What a great title.
 
'Beemaster to the King's Most Excellent Majesty'.

surely that means that he was beekeeper to a Most Exellent Majesty belonging to the King.

well, in todays language anyway..
 
I thought the picture of the hive in the book looked familiar...

I have seen it on a site about the Warre hive and also theres a bit about building an octagonal hive.

Hexagonal.....


Cabt add web address on here.

Google Images "warre hexagon"
 
Dishmop - could you tell us a little more about this octagonal hive in the picture?

Two of you failed to notice the hive is not octagonal, but hexagonal. You know, the same shape as...

...comb.

:banghead:
 
The book is also available to download in PDF format.

Trouble is......... its written in a simiar style to the language of the Gendarme in Allo Allo.
