BEE PEANKS. 



We take pleasure in presenting to the public the first edition of our little book entitled "Bee Pranks". This 

 pamphlet is compiled from clippings taken from newspapers published all over the United States, and therefore gives as 

 nearly as possible complete and authentic daily record of common, uncommon, strange and unique happenings in the busy 

 life of the bee during the year just passed. 



The chief value we claim for the book is the undisputed fact that nowhere else will or can be found as varied a col 

 lection of interesting events in the life of this little insect, anecdotes, humorous as well as serious, mingled with practical 

 information. 



In this modern age there are few events of importance which are not chronicled in the newspapers ; they seldom 

 appear anywhere else and are read only in that section of the county local to the paper in which they appear. 



At no little expense have we been able to gather together news items pertaining to the bee which have appeared in 

 almost any and every paper published far and wide. You will agree with us many are wonderful, some sad, some humor- 

 ous, but all interesting. They are not fiction, but chronicled facts. 



We shall be pleased to send this book postpaid to any address for 12 cts. in stamps, or WE WILL GIVE IT FREE 

 for the names and addresses of 5 bee-keepers in your vicinity. THEY ARE GOING FAST and this offer holds good 

 only while they last.
