—THE— 



Bee-Keeper's Guide 



Or, Manual «t the Apiary, 



. BY 



PROF, A, J, COOK. 



460 Pages— 16th (1899) Edition— 18th Thoa- 

 sand— $1.25 postpaid. 



A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book published to-day. Fully 

 Illustrated, and all written in the most fasclnat- 

 ng style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipped, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Goide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get- 

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. 



Given for TWO New Subscribers. 



The following offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also given to 

 the two NEW subscribers— simply the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year: 



Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.00), and we will mail you a copy 

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club 

 it with the Bee Journal for a year — both for only 

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO 

 NEW SDBSCRiBERS to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus get the book as a premium. Let every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?

RED GLOVER QUEENS 



iSSSQSQSS 



^^>r 



Black Rock, N. Y., Sept. 3, 1901. 

 Friend Ernest:— I willtry and tell you what you want to know about that queen. I got 

 her of you in 1899 as a premium with GLEANINGS. I never saw a small colony of bees build up 

 as that one did. In the spring of 1'*int they came out iu fine shape, wintered perfect. I raised them 

 up in May and gave them 8 frames more so the (jueen would not want for room. I never saw such 

 a colony of bees as they were in June, and they were actually storing honey when other bees in 

 my yard were starving. No! they were not robbing. I never saw those two best colonies of mine 

 trying to rob. THEY CERTAINLY WORK ON RED CLOVER. This is no guesswork, as I 

 have seen them. As you know, the past two seasons have been very poor, and what honey my 

 bees did get in 1900 candied soon after cold weather set in. I packed this colony in a chaff hive 

 and left them out, thinking that such a strong colony would winter perfect. The snow came on 

 the middle of November, and those poor bees never a fly until the last of March or the first of 

 April. When warm weather at last came I thought they were dead, as they did not seem to be fly- 

 ing much, so I did not pay any attention to them until in June. I noticed they were working a 

 little, so I opened up the hive and found them in the upper story. I took the lower story out and 

 left them in the one body. The queen was laying nicely, and I thought they would make a good 

 colony to winter. Along the last of July I noticed that they needed more room. I gave them a 

 super, 24 boxes, and in a few days they had it full. They have made ~Z boxes of as nice honey as 

 j-ou ever saw, and are drawing out some starters now, Sept. 2. 



Very truly yours, Geo. B. Howe.
