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, oi lor the amateur with his five to ten colonies; and because this book is for the specialist in bee-keeping 

 I 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 ire pli-my 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 

 books upon enttriog tbi ranks of apiculture. 



What Mr W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of The Bee-keipers' Renjieiv, says: 

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

 givtn to bee-keepers. Like a few other books, it is a diflScult one to review. It it so boiled down and 

 condenied that there It very little that can be left out. I am going to do the best I can at it, but I'll say 

 right here that everr bee-keeper would do much better to buy the book and read it in its entirety. 

 While the book '» really a record of one year's work (12 visits) in an out-apiary, in which, during a , 

 poor season (I'l'"!'. IM^ pounds of section honey per colony were secured, it is descriptive o\ i / For the en 

 plan that was perfected during some ten or fifteen years of previous experimenting- To put the / closed remit 



whole thing In i nutshell, it tells how to manage an out-apiary tor the most profitable pro- f tance 



dnction of comb boney. and, at the same time, prevent all swarming. / please send G/«an-
