460 Pages— 16th 1899: Edition— 18th Thou- 

 sand— $125 postpaid. 



A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it IS simply the ruosi complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publish! 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 eqnipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepkks' Guide.

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

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get- 

 tiog^ NEW subscribers for the American Bee

 the ants, and they will carry the

Celluloid and Glass Bee-Veils. — 



Bee-veils with celluloid and glass 

 fronts are described in our " A B C of 

 Bee-Culture ;" but in comparison with 

 the silk tulle, so far as clearness of 

 vision is concerned, they are little if 

 any better, much more expensive, and, 

 on account of their weight, are not apt 

 to hang straight, but will flop back 

 and forth at every movement of the 

 apiarist. The glass, moreover, is liable 

 to break, and get covered with mois- 

 ture from the breath, to say nothing of 

 getting dirty. I have personally tried 

 these devices myself, and do not con- 

 sider them anywhere equal to silk 

 tulle. — E. R. Root, in Gleanings in 

 Bee-Culture. 



Wetting Sections Before Folding. — 



F. L. Thompson says in the Progres- 

 sive Bee-Keeper : 



"Being a mechanic, Mr. Rauchfuss 

 has several other devices that would 

 not occur to most of tis. That for wet- 

 ting sections employs a principle that 

 has not occurred to Dr. Miller, hitherto 

 the authority on the section-wetting 

 question — that of letting the water 

 come thru a long tube, reaching from 

 a vessel set on a height. The orifice 

 of the tube being quite small, the 

 stream is fine, but the elevation from 

 which it comes, by a well-known law 

 of hydraulics, causes it to emerge with 

 considerable force, and it dives right 

 down into the holes made by the 

 grooves of sections resting on their
