American "Bee Jonrnal 



40 Years Among the Bees 



By DR. C. C. MILLER, 



Associate Editor of the " American Bee Journal," and One of the Best Known 

 and Most Successful Honey-Producers in all the World. 



This book of oves 340 pages tells just how Dr. Miller manages his bees to produce the most honey, which, in 

 turn, brings the most money. Dr. Miller has been "at it " nearly oO years, and so is abundantly competent to tell to 

 others the best way to be successful with bees. In 1903 his crop of comb honey was over 18,000 pounds, and in 1908 

 nearly 20,000 pounds — and he is not located in the best honey-producing part of the United States, either — Northwest- 

 ern Illinois. Dr. Miller surely understands bees and how to persuade them to go out and get the honey. 



What Practical Bee-Folks Say of Dr. Miller's Great Bee-Book: 



Delighted with the many practical hints it contains. — L. 

 Stachelhausen. of Texas. 



My expectations were high, but you have gone beyond 

 them. I am delighted with the book.— E. R. Root, of Ohio. 



I look upon the book as a valuable addition to apicultural 

 literature.— W. S. Pender. Editor Australasian Bee-Keeper. 



After getting "Forty Years Among the Bees," I sat up 

 late that night reading it. It is a solid and rare pleasure to 

 set hold of such a book. —Arthur C. Miller. 



"Forty Years Among tlie Bees" has been the greatest 

 pleasure and profit to me. There are so many most valuable 

 ideas, and it is so beautifully told.— Mrs. J. J. Glessnek. 



The specialist who wishes to produce comb honey and 

 avoid swarming had best secure the book " Forty Years 

 Among the Bees." and study it carefully.— Dadant's " Laixg- 

 strolh on ihu Honey-Bee." 



Every chapter is permeated with that incomparable phi- 

 losophy of good cheer that has so distingushed Dr. Milhr s 

 life and work. Aside from the main issue we regard this .is 

 ont' of the chief charms of the book.— Rocky Mountain Buo 

 Journal. 



" F jrty Years Among the Bees " is a very practical work. 

 well Illustrated, writtt-n by one of the best bee-keepers of 

 the United Statrs. and those who know the English languagL- 

 will read it with the greatest i)rotil.— Le Rucher Beige 

 (Frencli.) 



Again, there is that \estor in bee-keeping. Dr. Miller, 

 whose *" Forty Years .\mong the Bues " is in niy hands every 

 day from March to September, for the very simple reason it 

 comes nearer being specihc in the details I want to know 

 than any other book on bee-keeping.— F. Dundas Todd, in 

 Gleanings. 



The author goes briefly, but concisely, over his forty years 

 of bee-keeping, for he has really kept bees for forty years. 

 * * * I feel warranted in saying that it is the master- 

 piece of the author's forty years among the bees. — Editor 

 Hutchinson, in thv Bee-Keepers' Review. 



The book is more interesting than a regular text-book, for 

 one who has iiad experience with bees. For my part. I have 

 had a very great pleasure in reading it. and have learned 



some things from it that I did not know. Dr. Miller is not 

 only a consummate practician, but one of the most appre- 

 ciated and most intelligent writers of the United States. His 

 simple and unpretentious manner makes us live with him 

 among his bees, and his book is a series of information for all 

 the circumstances in which a bee-keeper may find himself.— 

 Ed. Bertrand. Editor Revue Internationale (French). 



Dr. C. C. Miller, one of the best known apicultural writ- 

 ers, even in Europe, tells in the book. " Forty Years Among 

 the Bees." exactly how he has managed bees for the past 40 

 years. We recommend the book in the highest manner to 

 bee-keepers who can read English.— Editorial in Illustrierte 

 Monatsblaetter (German). 



There is very little of what is known as modern bee-keep- 

 ing which is not found In its pages t" Forty Years Among the 

 Bees"), and stated in a way which any one, be he ever so 

 ignorant of the industry, can understand, and yet in so inter- 

 esting a way that the reader is not likely to lay the book down 

 after he has begun to read it. if he has the time, until he has 

 read it through. — Tlie Modern Farmer and Busy Bee. 



Dr. C C. Miller, the world-renowned apiarist of Marengo. 

 III., whose dominant traits are deep thinking and cheerful- 

 ness, has recently published another work on bee-keeping, 

 entitled " Forty Years Among the Bees." The new volume 

 is a real gem. * * * To any one interested in bees, 

 this volume is invaluable; in fact, we know of no other means 

 by which the apiarian student may possess himself of so 

 much information by little reading, and at small cost.— Edi- 

 tor Hill, in the American Bee-Keeper. 



I have read page after page of it: and the more I read, the 

 more 1 am convi[iced that it is one of the most practical 

 books that was ever written * * * Yes. the book is 

 full of good things— packed full of them— and I question very 

 much whether <?wi' progressive bee-keeper, beginui'r or vet- 

 eran, can afford not to read this book clear through. You 

 may say you have read the Doctor's writings for years. 

 Granted. But you will find that there are many little kinks 

 that he describes in this book that he has never |>utonthe 

 pages of a bee-journal^not because he was not willing to im- 

 part what he knew; but because, when he sat down to write 

 a book, one thing after another suggested itself until he un- 

 folded a new story that is as good as a story and far more 

 profitable. — Editor E. R. Root, in Gleanings in Bee Culture. 



The book is bound in substantial cloth, gold-lettered, and is sent postpaid for only $1.00 ; or with the American 

 Bee Journal one year— both for $1.50. (Or, send us 4 suI)scriptions to the Bee Journal — with $3.00— and we will mail 

 you the book free as a premium.) Every bee-keeper really ought to have both the book and the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, if not already possessors of them. 



As Dr. Miller gets a royalty on his book — so may cents on each copy — every bee-keeper who buys it is thus 

 helping a little to repay him for his effort to lead others to success through his writings on bee-culture. 

 As we have a good supply of these books on hand, we call till all ox-cler.s by return mail. 



This is the time of year to read up on bee-keeping. Better send us your oider 

 at once for a copy of Dr. Miller's book, and study it carefully so as to make the 

 MKjst possible out of your bees. Address all orders to
