A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing- style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide.

 mag-nificent book of 460 paces, in neat and sub-

use in trying: to save more than the 

 bees you have can use this season, as 

 there is and will be danger in using 

 them. 



Should you not be able to extract 

 the honey, owing- to its granulating, 

 cut it out by itself, and when render- 

 ing your wa.x run it by itself, running 

 it into a tall receptable like our sap 

 buckets, when, if you are careful about 

 not running the water from the spout 

 into the receptable, the wax and honey 

 will be separated when cool. The 

 honey can be used to stimulate brood- 

 rearing, and is a clear gain. 



Reduce all combs now in hives, that 

 is, do not ask the bees to clean up 

 badly smeared combs for brood-rear- 

 ing, but select all those that are free 

 from old pollen and desirable ; procure 

 a sprinkler, and purchase either gaso- 

 line or naphtha, and sprinkle thoroly. 

 One gallon will do for 100 combs, and 

 this instantly destroys all traces of 

 mold, making the combs fresher, and 

 owing to its rapid evaporation leaving 

 no trace of the objectionable odor of 

 petroleum products. 



My fear was that the bees would ob- 

 ject to the combs so treated. Late ex- 

 periments prove quite the reverse ; the 

 queen lays freely, and as I have now 

 the eggs hatcht into the larval stage, 

 I hope for good, even combs of brood, 

 which I have failed to see for some 

 time. 



While perhaps I will not be able to 

 cure a diseased apiary by this method, 

 surely by giving them good, clean 

 combs that will produce a good, full 

 frame of brood each, will go a long 

 way towards the desired end. 



A few of my neighbors have lost 

 heavily. One box-hive bee-keeper put 

 in 250 colonies, and now has 30 hives 

 with bees in. Another modern apia- 

 rist put in 17S, and now has 25 left. 

 His showed the same trouble as they 

 all do. The vegetable germ in the
