BY 



PROR A. J. COOK. 



460 Pages-16th (1899) Edition-18th Thou- 

 sand— $1.25 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 fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



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

 mag-nificent book of 4^0 pag-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 following offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also given 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 j-ear- both for only 

 $1.75. But surely anybody can g-et only TWO 

 new^ subscribers to the Bee Journal for a year, 

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

 body tr_v for it. Will YOU have one?

June ; but there has been but very little 

 nectar in anything-, it seems, "so we 

 will have to chronicle another poor 

 season. A few good honey-days would 

 give me a nice crop of honey, as my 

 bees are in nice shape to gather it. The 

 pastures are eaten off too close in this 

 country. Perhaps we will get enough 

 honey this fall for them to fix up for 

 winter. I certainly hope so.

Half a Crop of Honey. 



We have harvested a big wheat crop 

 and a good half crop of honey— far 

 better than expected. We had one of 

 the worst drouths in May and June 

 for many years, and now we are having 

 plenty of rains, and it looks as if we 

 will have a good corn crop. 



I expect to attend the Chicago con- 

 vention Aug. 28, 29 and 30.

Bees starving— No Honey. 



Our bees are starving — a state of af- 

 fairs that I have never seen or heard of 

 in this part of the country at this time 

 of the year. We have had no honey 

 since fruit-blossoms to amount to any- 

 thing. This makes three poor years 

 here in succession. I think that we are 

 overstockt with bees. It does not take 

 many bees to overstock here in a poor 

 season. Geo. W. Stinebking.

No Rain for Over Three Years. 



Three and a half years have gone by 

 since we have iiad a good rain here, yet 

 I am now growing nice watermelons, 

 and these without irrigation, with well- 

 water 60 feet below the surface. Bees 

 on the great ranges are weak or dead.
