American Hw -Journal 



40 Years Among the Bees 



By DR. C. C. MILLER, 



Associate Editor of the " American Bee Journal," and One of the Best Known 

 and IMost Successful Honey-Producers in all the World. 



This book of eves 340 pages tells just how Dr. Miller manages his bees to produce the most honey, which, in 

 turn, brings the most money. Dr. Miller has been "at it" nearly 50 years, and so is abundantly competent to tell to 

 others the best way to be successful with bees. In 1903 his crop of comb honey was over 18,000 pounds, and in 1908 

 nearly 20,000 poimds — and he is not located in the best honey-producing part of the United States, either — Northwest- 

 ern Illinois. Dr. Miller surely understands bees and how to persuade them to go out and get the honey. 



What Practical Bee-Folks Say of Dr. Miller's Great Bee-Book: 



Delighted with the many practical hints it contains.— L. 

 Stachelhausen. of Texas. 



My expectations were high, but you have gone beyond 

 them. I am delighted with the book.— E. R. Root, of Ohio. 



I look upon the book as a valuable addition to apicultural 

 literature. — \V. S. Pender. Editor .Australasian Bee-Keeper. 



After getting " Forty Years .\mong the Bees," I sat up 

 late that night reading it. It is a solid and rare pleasure to 

 get hold of such a book.— .■\rthur C. Miller. 



"Forty Years .Among the Bees" has been the greatest 

 pleasure and profit to nie. There are so many most valuable 

 ideas, and it is so beautifully told. — Mrs. J. J. Glessner. 



The specialist who wishes to produce comb honey and 

 avoid swarming had best secure the book " Forty Years 

 Among the Bees." and study it carefully.— Dadant's " Lang- 

 stroth on the Honey-Bee." 



Every chapter is permeated with that incomparable phi- 

 losophy of good cheer that has so distingushed Dr. Millers 

 life and work. Aside from the main issue we regard this as 

 one of the chief charms of the book.— Rocky .Mountain Bee 

 Journal. 



" F jrty Years .Among the Bees " is a very practical work, 

 well illustrated, written by one of the best bee-keepers of 

 the United States, and those who know the English language 

 will read it with the greatest profit. — Le Rucher Beige 

 (French.) 



.Again, there is that Nestor in bee-keeping, Dr. Miller, 

 whose ■* Forty Years .Among the Bees" is in my hands every 

 day from March to September, for the very simple reason it 

 comes nearer being specific in the details I want to know 

 than any other book on bee-keeping.— F. DuNDAs Todd, in 

 Gleanings. 



The author goes briefly, but concisely, over his forty years 

 of bee-keeping, for he has really kept bees for forty years. 

 ' * * I feel warranted in saying that it is the master- 

 piece of the author's forty years among the bees Editor 



Hutchinson, in the Bee-Keepers' Review, 



The book is more interesting than a regular text-book, for 

 one who has had experience with bees. For my part. I ha\e 

 had a very great pleasure in reading it, and have learned 



some things from it that I did not know. Dr. Miller is not 

 only a consummate practician, but one of the most appre- 

 ciated and most intelligent writers of the United States. His 

 simple and unpretentious manner makes us live with him 

 among his bees, and his book is a series of information for all 

 the circumstances in which a bee-keeper may find himself. — 

 Ed. Bertrand. Editor Revue Internationale (French;. 



Dr. C. C. Miller, one of the best known apicultural writ- 

 ers, even in Europe, tells in the book. "Forty Years Among 

 the Bees." exactly how he has managed bees for the past 40 

 years. V.^e recommend the book in the highest manner to 

 bee-keepers who can read English. — Editorial in Illustrierte 

 Monatsblaetter (German). 



There is very little of what is known as modern bee-keep- 

 ing which is not found in its pages [" Forty Years Among the 

 Bees"), and stated in a way which any one.be he ever so 

 ignorant of the industry, can understand, and yet in so inter- 

 esting a way that the reader is not likely to lay the book down 

 after he has begun to read it, if he has the time, until he has 

 read it through.— The Modern Farmer and Busy Bee. 



Dr. C. C. Miller, the world-renowned apiarist of Marengo, 

 III., whose dominant traits are deep thinking and cheerful- 

 ness, has recently published another work on bee-keeping, 

 entitled "F'orty Years Among the Bees." The new volume 

 is a real gem. » * * To any one interested in bees, 

 this volume is invaluable; in fact, we know of no other means 

 by which the apiarian student may possess himself of so 

 much information by little reading, and at small cost. — Edi- 

 tor Hill, in tlie American Bee-Keeper. 



I have read page after page of it; and the more I read, the 

 more I am convinced that it is one of the most practical 

 books that was ever written » * » y^g (|,g book is 

 full of good things — packed full of them — and I question very 

 much whether (7W1' progressive bee-keeper, beginner or vet- 

 eran, can afford not to read this book clear through. You 

 may say you have read the Doctor's writings for years. 

 Granted. But you will find that there are many little kinks 

 that he describes in this book that he has never put on the 

 pages of a bee-journal— not because he was not willing to im- 

 part what he knew; but because, when he sat down to write 

 a book, one thing after another suggested itself until he un- 

 folded a new storv that is as good as a story and far more 

 profitable.— Editor E. R. Root, in Gleanings in Bee Culture. 



The book is bound in substantial cloth, gold-lettered, and is sent postpaid for only $1.00; or with the .American 

 Bee Journal one year— both for $1.75. (Or. send3 newsubscriptions to the Bee Journal— with $3.00— and we will mail 

 you the book free as a premium.) Every bee-keeper really ought to have both the book and the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, if not already possessors of them. 



As Dr. Miller gets a royalty on his book — so may cents on each copy — every bee-keeper who buys it is thus 

 helping a little to repay him for his effort to lead others to success through liis writings on bee-culture. 

 .■\s we have a good supply of these books on hand, -we cau till all orders by return mail. 



This is the time of year to read up on bee-keeping. Better send us your order 

 at once for a copy of Dr. Miller's book, and study it carefully so as to make the 

 most possible out of your bees. Address all orders to
