History of tlieldels 



IN CARNIOIjA there are two strains of 

 Bees— one is gray or steel-colored, the oth- 

 er is yellow. The natives consider the yellow 

 strain the best, and call them " The Adels." 

 Adel means superior— and they are superior 

 to all others. The Queens are very hardy and 

 prolific; the Bees great workers, store and 

 cap their honey nicely, and are sure to winter 

 In 'most anj' climate on the summer stands. 

 The bees are gentle and seldom sting even 

 ■when no smoke is used. I have had six years' 

 experience with them, and never have had a 

 Bwarm. Can ship 200 Queens by return mail. 

 Everything guaranteed.

The Bee-Keepers' Guide: 



Or Manual of the Apiary, 



Br Prof. A. J. Cook. 



This 15th and latest edition of Prof . Cook's 

 magnificent book of 480 pages, in neat and 

 substantial cloth binding, we propose to give 

 away to our present subscribers, for the work 

 of getting NEW subscribers for the American 

 Bee Journal. 



A description of the book here is quite un- 

 necessary—it is simply the most complete sci- 

 entific and practical bee-book published to- 

 day. Fully Illustrated, and all written in the 

 most fascinating style. The author Is also 

 too well-known to the whole bee-world to re- 

 quire any introduction. No bee-keeper is 

 fully equipped, or his library complete, with- 

 out "The Bee-Keeper's Goide." 



Given For 2 New Subscribers. 



The following offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also given 

 to the two new subscribers— simply the Bee 

 Journal for one year : 



Send us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.00). and we will mail rou a 

 copy of Prof. Cook's book tree as a premi- 

 um. Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1. '35, 

 or we club it with the Bee Journal for a year 

 —both together for only $1.75. But surely 

 anybody can get only 2 new subscribers to 

 the Bee Journal for a year, and thus get the 

 book as a premium. Let everybody try for it. 

 Will you have one ?
