This is one of the standard books on

 substantially in cloth and contains nearly 

 600 pages, being revised by that large, 

 practical bee-keeper, so well-known to 

 all the readers of the American Bee 

 Journal — Mr. C. P. Dadant. Each sub- 

 ject is clearly and thoroughly explained, 

 so that by following the instructions of 

 this book one cannot fail to be wonder- 

 fully helped on the way to success with 

 bees. 



The book we mail for $1,20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year— both for $1.70 or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us

 or work. Address,
