^ BEE PRANR5 ^ 



We take pleasure in presenting to the public the first edition of our little book 

 entitled "Bee Pranks." This pamphlet is compiled from chppings taken from newspapers 

 published all over the United States, and therefore gives, as nearly as possible, complete 

 and authentic daily record of common, uncommon, strange, and unique happenings in the 

 busy life of the bee during the year just passed. 



The chief value we claim for the book is the undisputed fact that nowhere else will 

 or can be found as varied a collection of interesting events in the life of this little insect; 

 anecdotes, humorous as well as serious, mingled with practical information. 



In this modern age there are few events of importance which are not chronicled in 

 the newspapers ; they seldom appear anywhere , else and are read only in that section of 

 the county local to the paper in which they appear. 



At no little expense have we been able to gather together news items pertaining to 

 the bee which have appeared in almost any and every paper published far and wide. You 

 will agree with us many are wonderful, some sad, some humorous, but all interesting. 

 They are not fiction, but chronicled facts. 



We shall be pleased to send this book postpaid to any address for 12 cts. in stamps, 

 or WE WILL GIVE IT FREE for the names and addresses of five bee-keepers in your 

 vicinity. THEY ARE GOING FAST, and this offer holds good only while they last.
