1906 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 959 



HOW TO KEEP BEES 



By Anna Botsford Comstock 



A charmingly written manual describing clearly 

 and in detail the outfit, first steps, and methods. The 

 author's well-known literary ability has combined with 

 her enthusiasm for a subject to produce a very unusual 

 volume. It is a handbook for those who keep bees 

 for happiness and honey, and incidentally for money. 

 It serves as well as an introduction to the more extended 

 manuals already in the field. 



" I had another of my happy surprises when Mr. 

 Boyden put in my hands a pretty book with the above 

 title. My first thought was that we had almost enough 

 bee-books already; but when I noticed this one was 

 written by a woman, and a noted woman too, I began 

 to turn over its pages. . . . 



" Finally, with all due deference to the authors of 

 the excellent books on bee culture which we have 

 already, my opinion is that this new book, ' How to 

 Keep Bees,' is the best one for a beginner, or one who 

 does not wish or expect to keep more than a dozen 

 colonies, that has yet come before the world." 

 —A, I. Root, in Gleanings, July 1, 1905.

 desire a better book. The cloth cover is a warm brown

 large clear type and ample margins; 32 full pages of splen- 

 did photographic illustrations ; coming from the press of
