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-

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper, is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide.

tied their heads together to prevent 

 them from jumping from under the 

 yoke when the bows were taken out. 

 They concluded to have a little fun 

 anyway, and when I took off the yoke, 

 they ran up near the bee-gums. The 

 bees did not seem to like oxen, and so 

 proceeded to persuade them to leave. 

 One of the steers jumpt the fence. I 

 had no veil, and was somewhat afraid 

 of bees anyway (at that time), so I 

 thought the "jig was up," and that 

 father would soon have more beef on 

 hand than he could dispose of. But the 

 ox did not lose its mind, altho he be- 

 came rather excited. He jumpt back 

 over the fence, and together they ran 

 to the lot about 200 yards awaj'. I sup- 

 pose they must have received some 30 

 or 40 stings each. 



At another time (and since I have 

 been keeping bees in the modern way), 

 a couple of friends came up one day on 

 horseback. They got down and turned 

 their horses loose. They rambled 

 around and got into the bee-yard, and 

 the result was a very pretty race. 



A friend came along one day when I 

 was " robbing," and stopt to eat honey, 

 and see how the extractor workt. He 

 hitcht his mule to a tree between the 

 apiary and the house, where I was ex- 

 tracting, the house being some 200 

 yards from the apiary. 



I owned only 40 colonies, at that 

 time, and was pretty green. I had al- 

 lowed so much honey to be exposed at 

 the house that the bees became excited, 

 and I had a nice case of robbing. 

 While we were in the house the bees 

 attackt the mule. My father happened 

 along and saw they were stinging the 

 mule, and went to his rescue, but the 

 bees stung him so badly that he gave 

 it up and ran to the house for me. 



Mr. Wilson (the owner of the mule), 

 saw to him as quickly as possible, 

 while I waited to put on a veil and 

 gloves. When I got out Mr. Wilson
