THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



383 



BEE CULTURE 



aud how to use it at a profit, and when 

 it is more profitalile to allow the bees 

 to build their own combs unaided, and 

 it gives the reasons- 



Comb Honey 



And its production interest the practi- 

 cal bee-keeper more than anything^ else 

 connected with his business; and there 

 is one chapter in Advanced Bee Culture, 

 that comes in after the discussion of 

 localit3% varieties of bees, hives, su- 

 pers, sections, increase, feeding-, comb 

 foundation, etc., in which this subject 

 is taken up from the beg-inninj,'- of the 

 season, and the whole ground gone 

 over briefl}', showing the relation of 

 these different features to one another, 

 as they are emyloyed in the production 

 of comb honey. 



Extracte Honey 



Production possess an interest almost 

 equal to that of comb honey produc- 

 tion, and Advanced Bee Culture has a 

 chapter telling how to produce a thick, 

 heavy, well-ripened article with the 

 least expenditure of capital and labor, 

 and how to so treat the product as to 

 preserve its rich, delicious aroma. 



Marketing 



Of honey is fully as important as its 

 production. To raise a good crop is 

 one thing; to sell it at a good price is 

 another. To bend every energy to 

 the accomplishment of the former, and 

 then neglect the latter, is a mistake. 

 Whether it is advisable to develop the 

 home-market, and, if so, how it shall 

 be done; whether the honey shall be 

 sent to a distant market, and, if so, 

 when, and which one; whether it shall 

 be peddled, and how-— these, and many 

 other points, are considered in Ad- 

 vanced Bee Culture. 



Foul Brood 



Receives most comprehensive treat- 

 ment. With the descriptions, illustra- 

 tions and instructions given; it seems 

 as though one who had never seen foul 

 brood could detect it, and rid an apiary 

 of it without serious loss. 



Winter-Losses 

 are not always the result of the same 

 causes. They may come from starva- 

 tion; from poor food; from improper 

 preparations; from imperfect protec- 

 tion; from a cold, wet, or, possibly, a 

 poorly ventilated cellar, etc. Success- 

 ful wintering comes from a proper com- 

 bination of the different conditions. 

 For clear, concise, comprehensive con- 

 clusions upon these all-important sub- 

 jects, read the last few chapters of 

 Advanced Bse Culture. 



Commercial Bee-Keeping. 



But there is not room to touch upon 

 any more vioints. While ei'ery class of 

 bee-keepers will find much, very much, 

 of interest in the book, it is only fair 

 to state that the spirit of commercialism 

 prevades it from cover to cover. The 

 leading idea kept in mind is that of 

 keeping bees as a business, and making 

 money out of them, and the bee-keeper 

 who keeps bees with that end in view, 

 simply cannot afford not to read Ad- 

 vanced Bee Culture. 



The Price 



Is $1.20 postage paid; or the Review 

 will be sent one year together with a 

 copy of the book, for only $2.00.
