This is the plain unvarnished story' of Dr. Miller's bee- 

 keeping experiences for a term of forty years and more. He 

 was probably the first man in America to depend solely on 

 bees for a living, and for this reason alone the book is well 

 worth reading. He has taken a prominent part in building 

 up the bee industry of America in all those fateful years from 

 the time bee culture was an infant industry until now. This 

 has given him a fund of rich experience to draw on, and he 

 freely uses it for the benefit of his readers. He has adopted 

 throughout his book a simple conversational style which 

 makes him readily understood, and renders the book easy 

 reading to any bee-keeper. Even the beginner enjoys it. 

 To the comb-honey producer it is of engrossing interest, for 

 Dr. Miller is what we term a comb-honey man. In a de- 

 lightful way he tells what he has done in the past, what he 

 is doing now and what he intends to do in the future, giving 

 the reasons for his change of mind. The extracted-honey 

 men also like to read this simple nanative because the prin- 

 ciples of comb-honey production are much the same as in 

 producing extracted honey. He does not hide away the 

 smallest detail, and one soon becomes acquainted with his 

 family circle, his home and its surroundings, his helpers, his 

 out-apiaries, and all that goes to make up home life and 

 life's work. This impresses the reader in a way that the 

 ordinary bee-keepers' manuals can not do. However, the 

 work is not intended as an instniction-book in bee-keeping, 

 but it affords an excellent supplement to any of our well- 

 known manuals of bee culture. No comb-honey man should 

 be without it, because its author is one of the most success- 

 ful comb-honey men this country has produced. He has no 

 "secrets,'' but tells all he knows in a way that is convinc- 

 ing. What adds to the interest is the fact that he lives in a 

 locality not particularly well adapted to bees, because the 

 winters are long and the honey flora somewhat uncertain. 

 The print is large and clear, so that it may be read by lamp- 

 light when the bees are in the cellar and the snow lies deep.
