Bee-Culture ; or Successful Manage- 

 ment of the Apiary, by Thomas G. Newman, 

 editor of the American Bee Journal. 



This is the title of a new pamphlet of 80 

 pages, which has been carefully prepared 

 for beginners who desire a cheap work, but 

 one up with the times, to familiarize them- 

 selves with the fascinating avocation of the 

 management and care of bees. 



It is published both in the English and 

 German languages, and is beautifully illus- 

 trated. It is cheap, the price being only 40 

 cents for it, in either English or German. 



It embraces every subject that will inter- 

 est the beginner. Commencing with a 

 short chapter on the Natural History of the 

 Honey Bee, it passes to the consideration 

 of the Situation Stocking and Arrange- 

 ment of the Apiary, giving minute details 

 of the management and manipulations nec- 

 essary to make Bee-Keeping a success. It 



describes all the newest discoveries in the 

 art, by which the production of delicious 

 and health-giving Honey is obtained, as 

 well as how to prepare it for the market in 

 the most attractive shape.
