The author says in the preface: 



While the book is intended for the specialist, it is none the less desirable for the plain, every-day bee-keeper, with his 

 one home apiary, or for the amateur with his five to ten colonies; and because this book is for the specialist in bee-keeping 

 ( have not gone into first principles or the A B C of our pursuit, as the specialist has passed these rudimentary things long 

 ago. There are plenty of good books before one. and all who are desirous of learning of the foundation structure, there- 

 fore, have no need of repeating here. The amateur should certainly procure, read, and digest one or more of these 

 oooks upon entering the ranks of apiculture 



What Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of The Bee-keepers' Re'vieiv, says: 



" A Year's Work in an Om-apiary " is packed full of the most valuable information that has ever been 

 riven to bee-keepers. Like a few other oooks. it is a difficult one to review. It is so boiled down and 

 condensed that there is very little that can Dr left out. I am going to do the best I can at it, but I'll say 

 right here that every bee-keeper woulo <io mach better to buy the book and read it in its entirety. 

 While the book is really a record oi one year's work (12 visits) in an oat-apiary, in which, during a 

 poor season (1905), 114J4 pounds of section Qoney per colony were secured, it is descriptive of a X For the en- 

 plan that was perfected during some ten oi fifteen years of previous experimenting. To put the X closed remit- 



whole thing in a nut-shell, it tells how r-j manage an out-apiary for the most profitable pro- X tance 



dnction of comb honey, and, at the same time preveni all swarming. ^ please send G/«an-
