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 requireauy introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Kekpers' Guide.

 magnificent 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- 

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Jonrnal.

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 f2.0t>), and we will mail you a copy 

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

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO

moisture above. This is no invention 

 of mine— only its adaptation to bee- 

 hives. This systrm of dry-air circula- 

 tion is old, i.s scientilically correct, 

 simple, effective ;ind purifyinjj. The 

 air currents will take their natural 

 courses unless obstructed by havinp a 

 \a.Tge opening at the bottom of the 

 hive. 



With this arrangement the empty 

 section-holder filled with a basket or 

 pillow of absorbents — chaff, shavings 

 or leaves (leaves preferred) — represents 

 the ice-box of a refrigerator. This is 

 the cold-air chamber and is not pro- 

 tected from the outside cold weather. 

 The hive proper is fully protected and 

 made warm ; this containsthe bees and 

 the brood-nest, represents the provi- 

 sion-chamber of a refrigerator, and is 

 arranged so that there will be a slight 

 circulation — not enough perceptibly to 

 cool this apartment — but sufficient to 

 carry oft' all moisture.

A Repopt— Dry and Hot. 



Three years ago I had a nice lot of 

 honey, btit have had none since. I got 

 only 35 one-pound boxes from two col- 

 onies this season, and that they gath- 

 ered from buckwheat the last week in 

 August and first of September. I took 

 it off last week. The old colony pro- 

 duced 25 pounds and the spring colony 

 10 pounds. I did not let the old colony 

 swarm, but killed the young queen, 

 and, having a lot of brood-frames, 

 placed them in another hive, and put 

 one on top of the other. I lookt at
