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 

 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. I'here 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 amateor should certainly procure, read, and digest one or more of these 

 books upon entering the ranks of apiculture. 



What Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of T^e Bee-keepers' Revienv, says: 



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

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

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

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

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

 poor season (1905), 114/4 pounds of section honey per colony were secured, it is descriptive of a X For the en- 

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



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



duction of comb honey, and, at the same time, prevent all swarming. X please send C/fjn-
