TI16 Bee- Keeper's 

 ^Guifle* 



Or, Manual of the Apiary, 



BY 



PROF, A, J. COOK, 



460 Pages— 16th (1899) Edition— 18th Thon- 

 sand— Sl-25 postpaid. 



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 auj' introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is Inlly equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 mag-nificent book of 4<iO pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth bindings, we propose to GIVE away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of get- 

 ting: NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. 



Given lor TWO New Subscribers. 



The followingr offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also griven to 

 the two NEW subscribers— simply the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year: 



Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.00), and we will mail you a copy 

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club 

 it with the Bee Journal for a year— both for only 

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO 

 NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus g-et the book as a premium. Let every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?

get thru. I can get the queen in this 

 waj' quicker than I can tell by writing. 

 I give them plenty of smoke, using ex- 

 celsior for fuel as it gives plenty of 

 smoke quickly, and I have no trouble 

 in getting the queens. I usually smoke 

 them up at night and take the queen 

 away in the morning. 



We have had dry weather here since 

 fruit-bloom, and it now looks as if we 

 would get little honey this summer. It 

 is not much work to care for the bees, 

 as they get enough to feed themselves, 

 and that is about all. I hope to see 

 some more honey coming in later on.

Severe Drouth— No Clover Honey. 



We have had a severe drouth here up 

 to date, but had a nice rain this morn- 

 ing, with the promise of more. We will 

 get no clover honey in this part of the 

 State, but hope for a little basswood.

" Apis Melliflea " for Bee-Stings. 



Several times I have noticed in bee 

 books and papers discussions of reme- 

 dies for bee-stings, and so far as I can 

 see no one seems to have hit it yet. 

 The homeopathic schools use a medi- 

 cine called ^Ipis ^nellifica, made from 

 the poison of the bee, and used for 

 swellings, inflammations, etc. I can 

 stand the hurt all right, but I hate to 

 be all swelled up, and if this is taken 

 before a sting begins to sivell it never 

 swells at all. I have used this for 

 about a year, and it never fails me 

 when I take it in time :
