EVERY BEEKEEPER NEEDS IT 



Success in beekeeping is in direct proportion to the beekeeper's knowledge 

 and information regarding bees and their care. There is no real success with- 

 out such knowledge. Knowledge is power because knowledge 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 



A B C and X Y Z 



of Bee Culture 





It is the largest and most complete work on bees 

 in the world, making an illustrated encyclopedia of 

 more than 850 pages, arranged alphabetically, and 

 treating every beekeeping subject exhaustively but 

 simply. Each subject is treated as an entirety in it- 

 self, but cross references enable the reader to get 

 every related fact and discussion. 



While the book was written primarily by A. I. 

 Boot 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 theu- business. Many of the best 

 beekeepers in the country own a copy of every edition. Not only is every 

 subject thoroly treated, but practically all the best-known methods are given.
