Description:
Honey Plants of North America by John H. Lovell is a classic, comprehensive guide to plants valuable for beekeeping, originally published in 1926 and reprinted (1999) by the A. I. Root Company. Reviews describe it as a valuable and timeless resource, especially for hobbyists, based on the detailed information on nectar and pollen production, regional beekeeping potential, and descriptions of hundreds of North American plants. While some of its regional data is outdated, and the photos are in black and white, the core information about these plant-pollinator relationships remains relevant.
With this reprint, Wicwas Press LLC has reprinted the first three parts of this classic. The essence of the book remains strong and the addition of color photographs from beekeepers, botanists and nature photographers has resulted in a stunning rework of this classic reference.
John Lovell’s text is mostly unchanged. A few corrections have been made and Latin names updated. The primary upgrade is the color photography in the popular full-color visual style used by Wicwas Press.
