MANUAL OF TIIK AIMAUY, 



Bv A. J. COOK, 



0/ Lansing, Profrwr Of Eut<>m<,h'.j\i In the 



State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



H'-iO Pajrea ! 1 ;t:t Pine UliiwIrntloiiN. 



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



the Apiary, enlarged ami elegantly illustrated. 



The first edition of ;i,(HK) copies was exhausted in 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work lias been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honeybee, 

 Illustrated with many costly wood encravings — 

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

 full descc iip tions of honey-producing p la nts, trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly illustrated— and last.though 

 not least, detailed instructions fur 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, hut intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Bead the following opinion* of the Book; 



All agree that it is the work of a master and of 

 real value.— L'Apicultitre, Paris. 



1 think Coon's Manual is the best of our Ameri- 

 can works.-J.Kwis t. Colby, 



It appears to haze cut the t-nmnd from under 

 future book-makers.— Hriti+h Bee Journal. 



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

 stant guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agementof 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 hook is just what everyone interested in 

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

 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.— AVbrus/ca 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, HI. 



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. VVENZEL. 



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 ANTWKUP, 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- A')/. Li?'( Stuck Record. 



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

 I have never yet met with a work, either Krench 

 or foreign, which 1 like so mucb.— L'Aube l)u 

 Boi:s, e.htor ot the Bulletin D' Ainrulteur, 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 ot bees.— Democrat, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

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

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To all taking un intere t in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, 1 ead it i-areiully 

 and practice as advised. — Agriculturist, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 tieafise on bee-culture in Europe or America ; a 

 scientific work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee-man will welc me. and it is 

 essential toevery amateur in bee-Culture, it is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound and is a credit 

 to the West.— WtaU m AgriculturitL 



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 re la ling to the culture 

 of bees left untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Pn>t < 'ook 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 Imentur 



It may safely be pronounced the most complete 

 and comprehensive of the several manuals winch 

 have recently appeared on the subject of bees and 

 tueir 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 phases of progressive 

 bee-keeimig.ami writes of the the in cs dwussed in 

 the light of his own experience. — Paci/le Rural. 



Of the many excellent works which we have ex- 

 amined on bee-culture, we consider Prof . Cook'fl 

 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 ad resses 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 Apiary holds in America 

 the same high rank, 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 Fretdenker, 

 Milwaukee, Wis.
