Productive Bee Keeping, by Frank C. 

 Pellett, Iowa Inspector of .\piaries — 

 Here is a new book upon the bee in- 

 dustry that strikes the proper note in 

 its comprehensive practicability and 

 sanity, llr. Pellett, the author, in his 

 long experience as a successful honey 

 producer, instructor to the profession 

 and an ofiicial inspector of hives in a 

 rich bee state has had a great opportu- 

 nity to sift the good from the bad; 

 he took th(> opportunity, and the result 

 is a book which contains the bee- 

 methods that have successfully met 

 the greatest variety of tests in the 

 greatest variety of conditions. 



The work is an honest presentation 

 of the material needed by the exten- 

 sive producer who wislies to have it at 

 hand for ready reference, the small 

 producer who wants to study that he 

 may make progress on the surest 

 lines, by the beginner or student who 

 wants to set up for himself and to do 

 so upon the scientific basis that will 

 bring tlie best returns. It contains the 

 last word upon every subject connect- 

 ed with the industry and it is written 

 in a manner easily understood and ca- 

 llable of being immediately applied in 

 the work of the expert or the begin- 

 ner. 



This is the latest volume in the Lip- 

 pincott Farm Manual Series, and that 

 in itself is a sufficient guarantee of 

 high excellence. The majority of the 

 illustrations are from the author's 

 original photographs or drawings, — 

 they are of the highest type and give 

 a pictorial presentation of way and 

 methods. The handsome cloth binding 

 is durable. 134 illustrations, 340 pages,
