THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 67 



Jldvanced 



u^ee Culture 



Is a book of 230 pages— size of page the same as those of 

 the Review. The paper is heavy, enameled book. The 

 pictures are simply incomparable with others in the same 

 line. As Dr. Miller says "they are what might be expected 

 from one almost daft in that direction." 



It first takes up the subject of Bee-Keeping as a Busi- 

 ness; then shows the best method of Making a Start in Bee- 

 Keeping; points out the Mistakes in Bee-Keeping; shows the 

 wonderful Influence of Locality; tells what is the Best Stock 

 and how to Secure it; gives points that will enable a bee- 

 keeper to make a wise Choice of Hive; shows the necs- 

 sity and use of Honey Boards and Queen Excluders, de- 

 scribes the various kinds of Sections and Their Adjustment 

 upon the Hive; has a chapter upon the Arrangement of Hives 

 and Buildings; another on Comforts and Conveniences in the 

 Apiary; tells why, and when, and how, to use Shade for 

 Bees; gives most excellent advice on the Use and Abuse of 

 Comb Foundation; then takes up that most puzzling of ques- 

 tions. Increase, its Management and Control; tells how to 

 best manage the Hiving of Bees; devotes several pages and 

 some beautiful illustrations to Commercial Queen Rearing; 

 follows them up with a Chapter on Introducing Queens, giv- 

 ing one plan that never fails; then it takes up the Feeding 

 of Bees; following this is a sort of gathering together of the 

 various features already described; showing their relations 

 to one another in the Production of Comb Honey; the reader 

 IS next given the secrets of Producing Good Extracted 

 Honey at the least possible cost; after the honey is produced, 

 then its Preparation for the Market and Marketing are dis- 

 cussed, then Migratory Bee-Keeping; Out-Apiaries; House- 

 Apiaries; and Apiarian Exhibits at Fairs are each given a 

 chapter; following these are probably the best descriptions 

 and methods of treatment for Foul Brood that have ever 

 been published; after this comes the question of Wintering, 

 which is discussed in all of its phases. The Influence of 

 Food, Temperature, Moisture, Protection, etc.— 35 chapters 

 in all.
