PROE A. J. COOK- 



460 Pages-16th (18991 Edition— 18th Thou- 

 sand— SI. 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 any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is luUv equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



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

 magnificent book of 460 paj?es, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding', we propose to give away 

 to our present subscribers, for the work of g-et- 

 ting- NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. 



Given for TWO New Subscribers. 



The followidf^ offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also ^iven 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 f 1.25, or we club 

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

 $1.75. But surely anybody can gret only TWO 

 NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus get the book as a premium. Let every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?

May Have to Feed for Winter. 



up to June 12 beesflourisht well, and 

 stored a large amount of honey. As 

 sourwood is not yielding nectar I am 

 thinking that bee-keepers in tide-water 

 Virginia will be compelled to feed for 

 the coming winter, as I have to do 

 when that source fails, and that has 

 failed for the past 3 years. 



I think that my bees are thru swarm- 

 ing, as I have not hafl any issue to- 

 day. My spring count was 29 colonies, 

 increast to 87, and I had several 

 swarms go to the woods.

A Queer Season for Bees. 



This is a queer season. In early 

 spring the bees gathered considerable 

 honey, and they gather some j'et, but 

 it is rainy nearly every day, so the 

 hives do not fill up very fast. The 

 willow-herb is in full bloom now, fully 

 a month earlier than usual.

Not a Favorable Season. 



The season has not turned out as 

 favorably as the early spring promist. 

 June came first cool and dry, then hot, 

 dry and windy. This pusht the bloom 

 ahead rapidly, and while the season 

 was short it did not yield heavy either, 

 as is sometimes the case under such 

 circumstances. Sweet clover, which 

 usually begins to bloom about June 

 20th, is now almost ripe, the earliest I 

 ever knew it to dry up. Basswood was
