Fifty Years 

 Among the Bees 



C. C. MILLER 



Read the Author's Preface: 



352 pages; illustrated 

 throughout by the 

 author; substantially 



bound in cloth; $1.00 In the year 1886 there was pubUshed a httle book 



per copy. written by me entitled "A Year Among the Bees." In 



1902 it was enlarged, and appeared under the title " Forty 

 Years Among the Bees." In preparation for the present edition I undertook the 

 revision with little thought of the number of changes to be made or the nuinber 

 of pages to be added in order to bring it up to date (about one-eighth being new 

 matter) , but it is hoped that the changes and additions may make it of more 

 value to the reader. As I began bee-keeping in 1861, fifty years ago, the present 

 name seems appropriate. 



However much some personal friends may like the brief biographical sketch 

 that occupies the first few pages, others may think that the space could have 

 been better occupied. There remains, however, the privilege of skipping those 

 few pages. 



Most of the pictures are from photographs taken by myself or under my 

 immediate supervision, at least so far as concerned "touching the button;" the 

 Eastman Kodak Co. "did the rest." C. C. Miller. 



In his capacity as editor of " Stray Straws," in Gleanings in Bee Cul- 

 ture, Dr. Miller has become one of the most loved and widely read bee-keepers 

 on the subjects pertainining to bee-keeping. This new edition of his popular 

 book is sure to be in considerable demand. 



At the regular price of $1.00 per copy this book ought to find a place in the 

 ready-reference library of every bee-keeper; but when offered in combination 

 with Gleanings in Bee Culture — one year, 24 issues of the biggest bee-paper 

 in the world — the bargain is too good to miss. Send your order to-day !
