How to Keep Bees/' a. Botsforrcomstock. 



^ A simple book, written in a clear, every-day language, is much to be preferred, even if 



it does not treat of quite so many little details, which interest only the professional bee- 

 keeper. Such is " How to Keep Bees." written by a trifted author, who made a start in bee- 

 keeping three different times, thus being afforded the opportunity of personally finding out 

 the difficulties and trials that beset the beginner with bees. It is a book written by an ama- 

 teur to amateurs, so eminently readable, that any one interested in the subject can sit down 

 and devour it clearthrough. as though it were a modern novel. The print is large, and typo- 

 graphically as well as rhetorically, it is the peer of any such book now on the market. It is 

 bound in cloth, and contains 228 pages. 



There are 20 chapters in the book as follows : 



16. 



Why Keep Bees? 11. 



How to Begin Bee-Keeping. 12. 



The Location and Arrangement of the Apiary 13. 



The Inhabitants of the Hive. 14. 



The Industries of the Hive. 15. 



The Swarming of Bees. 16. 



How to Keep from Keeping- Too Many Bees. 17. 



The Hire and How to Handle It. 18. 



Details Concerning: Honey. TJ. 



Extracted Honey. 20. 



Points About Beeswax. 



Feeding- Bees. 



How to Winter Bees. 



Rearing and Introducing' Queens. 



Robbing: in the Apiary. 



The Enemies and Diseases of Bees. 



The Anatomy of the Honey-Bee. 



The Interrelation of Bees and Plants. 



Bee-Keepers and Bee-Keeping-. 



Bee -Hunting-. 



There is also a bibliography and index. From a beginner's standpoint it is a complete 

 treatise on bees, and we can not do better than recommend it. In fact, it should find a 

 place in every bee-keeper's library.

50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50,000 copies of the 16-page pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 for honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C. 

 IVIiller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes" and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid— Sample copy for a 2-cent stamp : 50 copies for 90 cents ; 100 copies for 

 $1.50 : 250 copies for $3.00 : 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies.

Engravings for Sale. 



We are accumulating: quite a large stock 

 of bee-yard ent^raviny^s and other pictures 

 used from time to time in the American Bee 

 Journal. No doubt many of them could be 

 used by bee-keepers in their local newspa- 

 pers, on their letterheads, on souvenir cards. 

 or in other profitable or interesting ways. 

 If we can sell them it will help us to pay for 

 others that we are constantly having made 

 and using in these columns. 



We do not have a catalog or printed list of 

 the engravings, but if you will let us know 

 just which you want we will be pleased to 

 quote you a very low price, postpaid. Just 

 look tlirougii the copies of the Bee Journal 

 and make your selection. Then write to us,
