GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Jan. 15 



Advanced Bee Culture 



is now out. It contains over 200 pages, is beautifully 

 bound and printed, and profusely illustrated. Nearly 

 all of the eng-raving-s are from photographs made by 

 myself. As most of you know, photography has been 

 my hobby for a dozen years. I have studied it as you 

 study bee-keeping; and this book contains between 50 

 and 60 of what might be termed the gems of my collec- 

 tion. 



I try to say it wich becoming modesty, but, in my 

 estimation, this book is the masterpiece of my life. It 

 is the result, the ripened fruit, so to speak, of 30 years 

 of actual work in the apiary, of extensive travel among 

 bee keepers, of attending many conventions, of reading 

 all of the bee books and journals, and of editing the 

 Review for 18 years. If this book could have been put 

 into my hands 25 years ago, and I had followed its 

 teachings, I might now have been the owner of several 

 apiaries, been free from debt, and had a few thousands 

 of dollars in the bank; but, of course, much that it con- 

 tains was not known 25 years ago. 



By the way, I am starting in now to carry out its 



teachings, to put them into actual practice, by starting 

 in to establish a series of out-apiaries in the raspberry 

 region of Northern Michigan and the vim and courage 

 and delight with which I am taking up this work is 

 a surprise even to myself. I shall puff the smoker, 

 wield the honey-knife, and whirl the extractor 2i'ith my 

 oum hand. I shall feel one degree closer to my readers, 

 in that I shall be a honey-producer with the rest of them. 



No, the Review won't be neglected. There isn't 

 space to mention all of the schemes that I have thought 

 out to keep it up to the top notch while 1 am enjoying 

 this work; besides, I shall be able to bring to my edi- 

 torial work a freshness and reality that can come only 

 from actual work in the apiary.— Extract from an edi- 

 torial in the Jan. Review. 



The price of Advanced Bee Culture, postpaid, is $1.20; 

 or I will send the Review for 1906 and the book for only 

 $2.00.
