" Southern Bee-Cnlture " is the 



name of a booklet written by J. J. 

 Wilder, perhaps the most extensive 

 bee-keeper and honey-producer in the 

 whole State of Georgia. It is a real 

 hand-book of Southern bee-keeping, 

 with methods so simply described that 

 they are easy to carry out. Every bee- 

 keeper, especially in the South, should 

 have a copy of Mr. Wilder's booklet. 

 He conducts apiaries by the dozen, and 

 produces many tons of honey every 

 season. He tells in careful detail just 

 how he does it. The price of this book- 

 let is 50 cents, or we now club it with 

 the American Bee Journal for a year — 

 both for $1.30. Send all orders to 

 the American Bee Journal, 117 North 

 Jefferson St., Chicago, 111.
