MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



Bv A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



»20 Paire»; 1311 Fine 1 llu*ti ntloii*. 



This is a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual of 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months— a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

 the products of the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 full descriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly illustrated— and last.though 

 not least, detailed Instructions for the various 

 manipulations necessary In the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 afford to do without. It is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can Interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the following opinions of the Book; 



All agree that it is the wori; of a master and of 

 real value.— L'Apiculture, Parle. 



I think Cook's Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.-LKWisT. Colby. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— British Bee Journal. 



Prof. Cook's valuable Manual has been my con- 

 stant guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agement of the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New Manual of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. H. Wynkoop. 



This book is just what everyone interested in 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who ootains 

 it, will ever regret having purchased.— Mich. Far. 



Is a masterly production, and one that no bee- 

 keeper, however limited his means, can afford to 

 do without.— Nebraska Farmer. 



To all who wish to engage in bee-culture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Prof. Cook's Manual is an 

 exhaustive work.— Herald, Monticello, III. 



With Cook's Manual I am more than pleased. It 

 is fully up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. E. Wenzel. 

 My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and much of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested information contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wm. Van Antwerp, M. D. 



It is the latest book on the bee, and treats of both 

 the bee and hives, with their implements. It is of 

 value to all bee-raisers.— Ky. Live Stock Record. 



It is a credit to the author as well the publisher. 

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or foreign, which 1 like so much.— L'Abbe DU 

 Bois, editor of the Bulletin D' Apiculteur, France. 

 It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description of honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— Dejnocrat, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mccum of the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To all taking an intere-t in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carelully 

 and practice as advised.— Agriculturist, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise ou bee-culture in Europe or America; a 

 scientific work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee-man will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the Wqst.— Western Agriculturist. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual for the instruction of bee-keepers which 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees lett untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of all occupations.— American Inventor 

 It may safely be pronounced the most complete 

 and comprehensive of the several manuals which 

 have recently appeared on the subject of bees and 

 their handling in apiaries. The studies of the 

 structure of the bee, the different varieties, the 

 various bee products, and following these the 

 points of management, extending to the smallest 

 details, are all of high and practical value. Prof. 

 Cook has presented the latest phasesof progressive 

 bee-keeping, and writes of the themes discussed in 

 the light of his own experience.— Pacific Rural. 



Of the many excellent works which we have ex- 

 amined on bee-cullure, we consider Prof . Cook's 

 the most valuable for the study of those who con- 

 template going into the business or are already 

 keeping bees. If thoroughly studied, and its teach- 

 ings conformed to, by the apiarist, who exercises a 

 reasonable degree of common sense, he or she can- 

 not fail to achieve at least a reasonable degree of 

 success. The author addresses himself to the 

 work with a degree of enthusiasm which carries 

 the reader with him to the end.— Kansas Farmer. 



Cook's Manual of the Apiarv holds in America 

 the same high nink, that is accorded in Germany 

 to the book of which Dzierzon is the author ; the 

 only difference being that Prof. Cook's Manual 

 combines the profoundness of the German pastor 

 with the superiority of the practical American. 

 He refers in several instances to Darwin ; and 

 does not belong to that class which hates every- 

 thing that is foreign, for he speaks of German nat- 

 uralists with great reverence.— German Freidenker, 

 Milwaukee, Wis.
