We know that beekeeping has been changing rapidly in recent years, but how much do we know about the care and management of honey bees as it was practised a century ago?

One hundred years of beekeeping in Nova Scotia, Canada. A brief history as presented at the Nova Scotia Beekeepers’ Association annual meeting, March 2000. Includes an interview with the late G.G. Smeltzer (in Part 2). This video is dedicated to his memory.
