Every Beekeeper Needs It 



Success in beekeeping is in direct proportion to the beekeeper's know- 

 ledge and information regarding bees and their care. There is no real 

 success without such knowledge. Knowledge is power, because know- 

 ledge brings success. 



There is a book published for beekeepers that has no parallel in any 

 other industry as the one recognized guide and teacher in such industry. 

 This book is 



ABC 

 XYZ 



of BEE 

 CULTURE 



The guidebook for beekeepers, ama 

 teur and professional alike thru- 

 out thf world. 



ABC&XYZOF BEE CULTURE 



It is the largest and most complete work on bees in 

 the world, making an illustrated cyclopedia of more than 

 800 pages, arranged alphabetically, and treating every 

 beekeeping subject exhaustively but simply. Each subject 

 is treated as an entirety in itself, but cross references 

 enable the reader to get every related fact and discus- 

 sion. 



While the book was written primarily by A. I. Root 

 for. the benefit of beginners, and while it is still a work for 

 those who are beginning in bees, it is so comprehensive 

 that veterans find it useful and almost indispensable in 

 their business. Many of the best beekeepers in the coun- 

 try own a copy of every edition. Not only is every sub- 

 ject thoroly treated, but practically all the best-known 

 methods are given. 



A SECOND NEW EDITION 



Only last July (1919) a new edition of the A B C & 

 X Y Z of Bee Culture to the number of 15,000 was 

 brought out, the next previous edition appearing only 

 two years before, in 1917. Yet, so valuable and popular is 

 this book, that a second printing of the 1919 edition is now under way, the 1919 output 

 having already been practically sold out. This 1919 edition contains one very im- 

 portant revision — that on the subject of foulbrood. The results of the latest investi- 

 gations and the latest conclusions of experts studying brood diseases will be found 

 in this edition. 



The price of this valuable volume is $2.50. Clubbed with "Gleanings in Bee Cul- 

 ture," the monthly magazine edited by A. I. Root, E. R. Root and H. H. Root, the price 

 is $3.25. 



ABC&XYZof Bee Culture is for sale by all dealers in beekeepers' supplies 

 everywhere.
