The New Edition of the A. B. C. and X. Y. Z. of Bee Culture 



BIGGER AND BETTER 



A large number of the old articles have been rewritten. Many new articles that never 

 appeared before in any former edition occur in this one. 



THE CHEMISTRY OF HONEY 



A. Hugh Bryan, formerly connected witli tlie Bureau of Chemistry, Washington, D. C, and 

 who at the time made a speciality of honey, has written the articles dealing with the chemistry of 

 honey, glucose, invert sugar, nectars, adulterations, etc. He has also written a special article for 

 the benefit of chemists, on how to analyze honey. 



Since the introduction of artificial invert sugars, new methods have to be employed; and 

 these are set forth in this new edition so that any chemist will be able to use the very latest infor- 

 mation that has been available to the Bureau of Chemistry, Washington, D. C. 



BEE BOTANY 



This is being handled by John H. Lovell, of Waldoboro, Maine, a beekeeper, botanist, 

 and an entomologist. Some new species have been added, and in other cases the descriptions have 

 been made more complete. 



PRACTICAL ARTICLES 



These have been revised and rewritten by the editors of Gleanings. AU the latest methods 

 of management have been incorporated. Articles on bee diseases have received entirely new treat- 

 ment, especially those relating to European foulbrood and the Isle of Wight disease. 



WINTERING 



The articles on wintering will include the latest discoveries of the Bureau of Entomology 

 pertaining to winter temperatures, winter activities and winter packing. 



The new volume will contain something over 900 pages, and will sell for $2.50. It will be 

 ready for delivery about January 1.
