 Queen-Rearing"

 rearing the best of queens in perfect accord 

 with Nature's way. It is for the amateur and 

 the veteran in bee-keeping. The A. I. Root 

 Co.. who ought to know, say this about Doolit- 

 tle's queen-rearing book: 



' It is practically the only comprehensive 

 book on queen-rearing now in print. It is looked upon by many as the foundation of mod- 

 ern methods of rearing queens wholesale." 



Mr. Doolittle's book also gives his method of producing comb honey, and the care of 

 same: his management of swarming, weak colonies, etc. It is a book of 126 pages, and is 

 mailed at the following prices : Bound in cloth, $1.00 : bound in leatherette,.75.cents.
