Twentieth-century Edition 



Langstroth:eHoney-bee 



Revised by C. P. Dadant 



THIS book was originally written by the 

 Rev. L. L. Langstroth, the founder of 

 modern bee culture. Its first publi- 

 cation, in 1853, caused a revolution in bee 

 culture, not only in America but all over 

 the civilized world. It is the modern bee-keeper's epic. 

 Father Langstroth repeatedly revised the book as the vari- 

 ous editions appeared; but when he got too old he 

 turned over his duty to a great friend of his, Mr. Dadant. 



The French edition of "Langstroth on the Honey- 

 bee" is the standard work on bees in France. 



The work itself is quite comprehensive, and it covers 

 the whole field of bee-keeping in its 575 pages. It has a 

 very large number of excellent illustrations, some of them 

 by Count Barbo, on the anatomy of the bee, being very 

 fine examples of the engraver's art. In the first chapters 

 the anatomy and physiology are dealt with; then the food 

 of bees, etc. Comb and propolis are fully treated. Then 

 follow chapters on movable-frame hives, wherein the 

 evolution of our modern hives is traced. The ventilation 

 of hives and cellars is excellently treated, and also obser- 

 vation hives. A chapter is devoted to the taming of the 

 honey-bee. Swarming, both natural and artificial, is 

 carefully considered, and primary and secondary receive a 

 full notice. A long chapter is devoted to queen-rearing 

 and nuclei. Doolittle's system of queen-rearing is fully 

 explained, as also queen-introduction. Out-apiaries, rob- 

 bing, and wintering are most thoroughly explained. As 

 Mr. Dadant is a great expert on beeswax it is needless to 

 say the chapter on that subject is fine. There are splen- 

 did chapters on the honey flora, honey production, and foul 

 brood. There is also a bee-keeper's calendar and a selec- 

 tion of axioms for bee-keepers generally. It is a great 

 book, and the price is low for a handsome well- 9 I CH 

 bound volume as this is. . . PRICE, postpaid, w I lUU
