Or, Manual of the Apiary, 



BY 



PROR A, J. COOK. 



460 Pages— leth (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-Kkepers' Guide. 



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

 magnificent book of 400 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 

 Journal. 



Given for TWO New Subscribers. 



The foUowia^ offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also g'iveu to 

 the two NEW subscribers— simply the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year: 



Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal {with $2.0t)), 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 ayear— both for only 

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO 

 NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Bee Jourual for a year, 

 and thus ^et the book as a premium. Let every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?

•shelves are pretty well tilled I ffo over 

 it every morninp before the .sun is up, 

 reverse, and pick out what is sulli- 

 ciently white. When the sun is shin- 

 ing it all looks white when it is not. 



Pack as you take from the shelves. 

 Care should be taken that the sun does 

 not shine too hot on your bleaching'- 

 house during a hot day, or you will 

 have a lot of honey settling down in 

 the sections and dropping out. When 

 the weather is cool the sun does no 

 harm. In hot weather I use an awning 

 on the sides that the sun shines on, 

 about four feet wide, sufficient to break 

 the heat of the sun from the shelves. 

 It is not the heat of the sun that you 

 want. It is the sulphuring and the 

 light that do the work. After comb 

 honey has remained on the shelves 

 three days, and is not sufficiently 

 white, place in supers and sulphur, 

 and place on the shelves again. You 

 will tind that you can bleach the dark- 

 est comb. Any foreign matter that is 

 on the comb will not bleach. I com- 

 menced the bleaching of comb honey 

 several years ago, and there are but 

 five others in the State, up to the pres- 

 ent time, who have adopted it. — L,. J.

Fine Season Eastern Oklahoma. 



Bees have done fine here this season, 

 mine averaging 66 pounds of comb 

 honey per colony, spring count. I have 

 sold the increase in colonies to people 

 who are tired of paying me 20 cents 

 per pound for honey. 



People said I was foolish to invest 

 money in bees, hives, and bee-papers.
