GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



ei-; 



ow to 



Keep 



Bees. 



By Anna Botsford Oomstook. 



THIS is a charmingly written manual, the first 

 purpose of which is to show the uninitiated 

 what they are missing by not joining the ranks 

 of bee-keepers. The outfit, first steps, and 

 methods are given clearly and in detail; and the 

 author's well-known literary ability has com- 

 bined with her enthusiasm for the subject to 

 produce a very unusual volume.
