This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Bach subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 It with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year— both for $2.00 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 lournal for one year, with $3.00.

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work.
