This short treatise on beekeeping is the ninth book of Roman author Columella's massive tome on agriculture, De Re Rustica (Country Matters). All the principles and methods discussed are simple, sustainable, and by necessity, all natural. Describing the construction of hives, sustaining colonies over many years, and gathering honey, it is a short, complete work to augment any beekeeper's collection.
