"The author of this volume is evidently a practical man, and knows a great deal 

 more about bees and their habits than most of the bee-keepers in England : indeed 

 he may be said to be a very master in the art of bee mysteries." Bell's Life in 

 London. 



"This volume is throughout so obviously the result of observation and ripe 

 experience as to leave no doubt of its value as a manual for the apiarist." Bristol 

 Mercury. 



"How to manage bees properly, so as to make a profit, is so clearly and pleas- 

 antly told in this capital work, that we need not trespass on its pages longer." 

 Sherborne Journal. 



"We recommend his book to all who wish to spread a knowledge of this useful 

 art among their neighbours and friends." Land and Water.
