I received the "ABC of Bee Culture," bound in 

 cloth, and think it the cheapest book, at $1.25, that 

 has passed through my hands in many a day. 



. James McNeill. 



Hudson, N. Y., February IT, 1880. 



ABC was received in due time. Many thanks. 

 Although I have been reading A B C in back num- 

 bers of Gleanings, yet I am very much surprised 

 and pleased with the finish and make-up of the book. 

 1 have all the earlier books on bee culture, but must 

 say that A B C is best of all, and fully up to the 

 times. Dr. A. V. Conklin. 



Delaware, O., February IT, 1880. 



The ABC book was received on the 10th inst.,and 

 is a beautiful book. To say that the lady to whom I 

 presented it was well pleased with it, would be a 

 tame expression of her joy. S. H. Lane. 



Whitestown, lnd., February 12, 1880. 



The A B C is the best bee book I ever read. I 

 would not take $50.00 for it, if I could not get an- 

 other, for I consider it worth that to any bee-keeper. 

 A. J. Bhumbauoh. 



Cottage Grove, Lane Co., Oregon, Feb. 20, 1880. 



Your ABC came all right. Thanks. I think it is 

 one of the best and clearest books it lias been my 

 •food fortune to get hold of, and tells all that is 

 needed to be known, except what must be got by 

 experience. A. H. Browne. 



New Orleans, La., March 14, 1880. 



Your "A B C in Bee Culture" is at hand. I am 

 more than pleased with it. It is a much better book 

 than I expected to see I would have sent for it be- 

 fore, if 1 had had the least idea that I could have re- 

 ceived as much information in regard to bees and 

 their management, as 1 have found in it. 



Lkstkr B. Carrington. 



Mount Joy, Delta Co., Texas, Feb. 20, 1880. 



On the stand at my right hand, is the "A B C of 

 Bee Culture," which cost me $1.25, and 1 would not 

 take $100.00 for it, and do without it. It is the best 

 book on the subject I have ever had the pleasure of 

 reading. Louis Werner. 



Edwardsville, Madison Co., 111., Mar. 8, 1880. 



If you could see me searching, during every spare 

 moment, the well stored pages of the A B C, you 

 would not wish for any better expression of my 

 thoughts concerning it. L. E. Harris. 



Franklin Depot, Delaware Co., N. Y., Mar. 8, 1880. 



I have followed the instructions recorded in your. 

 "A BCof Bee Culture," and find them a perfect 

 success. My bees have done exceedingly well the 

 past vear. Jefferson Lemon. 



Dodson, O., March 9, 1880. 



I have just received my A B C book, cloth binding. 

 It is so nice, that I have sold it before leaving town; 

 so 1 will enclose 90 cts. more for another for myself. 



W. H. Simmons. 



Medon, Madison Co., Tenn., Mar. 18, 1880. 



As for that A B C book. I would not take $10.00 for 

 it, if I cool 1 not (ret another one. Wm. Tracy. 



Sherburne, N. Y.. Jan. 80, 1880.
