This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 



Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1 .20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $2.00 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us

feed sugar syrup; unless it might be 

 that of brimstoning the bees in the 

 fall, and buying more in the spring 

 from some other locality, a course 

 which has been followed successfully, 

 as the long season for preparation 

 allows of the building up of one colony 

 into several. 



It would be an easy matter to use 

 pages in giving illustrations of the 

 differences in localities, but it is un- 

 necessary ; the thing for the bee-keeper 

 to remember is that if he changes his 

 locality he must leave behind him 

 many of his old notions and methods, 

 and seek the advice of his new neigh- 

 bors who have been successful. The 

 veteran bee-keeper from the verdant 

 hills of Vermont would make a flat 

 failure were he to bring his apiary to 

 Colorado, and manage it the same as 

 he has been accustomed to doing. A 

 bee-keeper can not know his locality 

 too thoroughly. Some men succeed in 

 localities where the majority fail, and 

 one reason is because their more thor- 

 ough knowledge of the locality enables 

 them to adopt methods more perfectly 

 adapted to the peculiarities of that 

 location. Above all things know your 

 locality. — W. Z. Hutchinson, in the 

 Bee-Keepers' Review. 



Foul Brood and Black Brood. 



The 10th annual report of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture contains a re- 

 port on bee-diseases, by Veranus A. 

 Moore, M. D., and G. Franklin White, 

 B. S., of the New York State Veteri- 

 nary College, Cornell University, 

 Ithaca, N. Y. I have already referred 

 to this report (page 121. Feb. 1), ex- 

 pressing surprise that all the samples 

 of black brocd that have come under 

 the inspection of these bacteriologists 

 are diagnosed as foul brood. Indeed, 

 the half-tone reproductions from the 

 microscopic slides show the identical 

 rodlike bacillus of the genuine Bacillus 

 alvei. But the specimens diagnosed 

 as black brood by the inspectors, these 

 scientists do not find to be the same as 

 the specimens which are pronounced 

 by the same inspectors "foul brood ". 

 Unlike foul brood with which we are 

 familiar, the diseased matter of the 

 black brood of New York is not I'iscid, 

 according to the New York bacteriolo- 

 gists. All the genuine cases of foul 

 brood I have seen were always viscid 

 or ropy. The disease that wrought 

 such destruction in New York, which 

 we have commonly called " black 

 brood ", is not ropy, but, on the other 

 hand, has a sort of fermented smell. 

 The foul brood of Europe, and with 

 which we are familiar, is gluey, and 

 smells like a cabinet-maker's glue-pot. 

 If the bacteriologists of New York are 

 correct, then Bacillus alvei manifests 

 itself in two forms ; and this leads to 

 the inquiry whether or not there is 

 some other microbe, which, in conjunc- 

 tion with Bacillus alvei, changes the 

 general character of the disease so that 

 it gives rise to " black brood ". 



Dr. W. R. Howard, of Fort Worth, 

 Tex., says he found an entirely new 

 microbe, and not Bacillus alvei. The 

 one he discovered he called Bacillus 

 milii, from its general resemblance to 

 millet seed ; but the New York men do 

 not find anything of this kind, not- 

 withstanding they have pursued their 

 investigation the second seas.in, and 

 this last time with the special view of
