THE BEB-KEEPERS' REVIEW 333 



A B C OF BEE CULTURE- 



i 900 E<Jitioo« Tb^ ooly Encyclopac<Ji2v on Bee5. 500 Pajes. 



The last edition, 5000 copies, issued in October, 1899, was exhausted in the short space of one year. 

 Even before the edition was out of the press, 15011 copies had been sold; and before thirtj' days had 

 passed, 1000 more copies were taken We immediately set to work to print a new edition. While 

 the edition of 1899 was more throughly revised than any previous one, that for 1900 has received even 

 larger additions of new matter, so that the book from beginning to end is almost entirely new. It 

 now contains 500 double-columns pages. It has been most carefully gone over by Dr. C. C. Miller, 

 who has prepared a new set of comments, and by Prof, A. J. Cook, of Pomona College, Cal. As be- 

 fore, old subjects have been rewritten. Descriptions of obsolete methods have in all cases been strick. 

 en out, and the very latest put in their place.

It is in many respects superior to any previous one in regard to typographical appearance, quan- 

 tity of new subject-matter, and general revision of old subjects, for we are now building on the 

 knowledge and experience of these latter days, when such wonderful strides are being made. 



For tbe Veteran e^s well evs tbe B^siir)r>er. 



While the book is, in the true sense, an A B C of bee culture, in that it is adapted to the require- 

 ments of beginners, it is also a comprehensive X Y 7. of the subject; for no veteran, no matter how 

 extensive his experience, can afford to be without a work of this kind, containing av> it does a care- 

 fully prepared dissertation on every late method or practice known to the business. All the bee-liter- 

 ature of past ages, all the current literature of this and every other country, has beeti carefuUj- 

 sinned; and whatever there is that is new and valuable has been incorporated in this work. 



Hi^b-Clevss EOtorevvin^s. 



The most expensive half-tone engravings, taken direct in the majority of cases from fine clear 

 photos, adorn its pages. Besides 50 full-page ilhistrations there are something like 500 smaller ones, 

 fully setting forth the exact MODfs operandi of every method. We are confident that this work 

 will save anyone who keeps even a few bees, ten times its cost in a single year. 



While the book has been enlarged, and hundreds of pages have been rewritten and revised, the 

 price will be the same as before: 51.20 post paid, or Ji.oo by express or freight with other goods; or 

 when sent with our journal, <'.leanin<;s in Bee Cultire, which is a constant apdendix to the A B 

 C hook, a journal beautifully printed and illustrated, 42 pages, for the very low price of ji.y.s for the 

 two. For quantity of up-to-date bee-literature there is nothing else offered at this low price. 



The new edition will V>e ready for delivery about Nov. 15. Send your orders at once to get a copy 

 of the first lot from the bindery. Orders filled in rotation. Orders m,ay he sent to the undersigned, 

 or to any dealer in bee-keepers' supplies.
