Advanced Bee Culture 



FREE! 



Advanced Bee Culture is a book of nearly 100 

 pages (the size of the Review) that I wrote and pub- 

 lished in 1891 ; and I will tell you how I gathered the 

 information that it contains. For 15 years I was a 

 practical bee-keeper, producing tons of both comb and 

 extracted honey; rearing and selling thousands of 

 queens, reading all of the bee books and journals, at- 

 tending all the conventions and fairs, visiting bee- 

 keepers, etc., etc. Then I began publishing the Re- 

 view, and, for several years, each issue was devoted to 

 the discussion of some special topic, the best bee-ktep- 

 ers of the countrj' giving their views and experience. 

 Advanced Bee Culture is really the summing up 

 of these first few years of special-topic numbers of the 

 Review ; that is, from a most careful examination of 

 the views of the most progressive men, and a thorough 

 consideration of the same in the light of my experi- 

 ence as a bee-keeper, I have described in plain and 

 simple language what I believe to be the most ad- 

 vanced methods of managing an apiary, for profit^ 

 from the beginning of the sea.son through the entire 

 year. 



A new and revised edition, which includes the im- 

 provements of the past ten years, was gotten out a 



little more than a year ago; and is as handsome a little 

 book as ever was printed. The paper is heavy, extra 

 machine finished, white book, and there are several 

 color pla'es printed on heavy enameled paper. For 

 in-tance, the one showing a comb badly affected with 

 foul brood is printed in almost the exact color of an 

 old comb. The cover is enameled azure, printed in 

 three colors. 



The price of the book is 50 cts., and I have always 

 clubbed it with the Review at $1.25 for both ; but, just 

 at present. I am putting forth extra efforts in pushing 

 the subscription list of the Review away up above 

 where it has ever been before, and, as an inducement 

 in this direction, to get the Review into new hands, I 

 will, for the next month, send a copy of Advanced 

 Bee Culture free to any one not now a subscriber, 

 who will send me $1.00 for the Review for 1901. I can 

 also send the Dec, 1903, issue free to those who care 

 for it, but all of the other issues for 1903 have been sent 

 out.
