During the height of the busy season, when not only the bees, but 

 everything else about the place clamors for attention, the bee-keeper hardly 

 has time for more than the routine work necessary to keep things going, 

 and often has to put aside the books, magazines, and other literature which 

 he really wants to read. Now that these rush days are over, we are sure 

 our bee-keeping friends can find time for some reading that will not only 

 be of keen interest to them, but will give very material assistance for next 

 season in handling the bees, producing the best and largest honey crop 

 possible, and marketing the same to the best advantage. 



Below we give a partial list of the books we can furnish. Any one of 

 these can be supplied promptly on receipt of order and we have others 

 equally interesting and valuable.
