BEES for SALK 



1 have fur sale iibnut :tOO«'ol<)iiie>i of the 



Celebrated Arkansas Brown Bees, 



which I will dispose of in lots of TEN COLONIES 

 OR MORE at very reasonable pricee. They are in 

 ten-frame Langstroth and box hives. These bees 

 are said to be large, remarkably amiable, good sec- 

 tion workers, and excellentcomb builders. Owint: 

 to the mildness of the Arkansas winter, they will 

 be very atron« in bees, and spring dwindling will 

 be avoided. Tiiese bees can be delivered on board 

 steamer, near Memphis, before the middle of 

 March, and before the early honey flow and swarm- 

 ing commences. Write soon for bargains, as I 

 will close out botli my Southern Apiartes by March 

 I5th, or remove them North.

 clei and Colonies, to be supplied from Chicago in 

 June. Address,

MANUAL OF THE APIAllY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Liinsing, Professor of E}ttoin<>ln>n/ tn the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



320 FaeeH ; 13:^ Fine IIIiiHtratlouM. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of a.OOO copies was exliausted in 

 about IS 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 desccrlptions of honey-producing piants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc., splendidly Illustrated— and last.lhough 

 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 in3tmctive,'but intensely 

 iuterestmg and thoroughly practical. 



Read the foUoiuinrj opinions of the Book ; 



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

 real Viilue.—L'AincuUure, Paris. 



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

 can works.— Lewis T. Colby. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future bookmakers.— iiritiifh Bee Journal, 



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

 stant guide in my operations and successtui man- 

 agement of the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New Miinual of the Apiary than Irom 

 ixuy other book.— E. H. Wynkoop. 



This bonk is just what everyone interested in 

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

 it, will ever regret having purcnased.— 3Xtc/i. Far. 



To all who wish to engage 'n bee-culture, a 

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

 exhaustive work.— iftraJd, MonticeJlo. 111. 



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

 is fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

 richebt reward awaits us auUior.— A. E. Wknzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myselt, and nmoh of it ia due to the clear, dis- 

 interested intormation contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wm. VAX ANTWERf. M. D 



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

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

 value to all bee-raisers.— Ki/. Live Stuck Record. 



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

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 iir toreign, which 1 like so much.— L'Abbe DV 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin jD' Apiculteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these In- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed seiies of directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.- Democrat, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecum vt the bee-keeper. It ts replete with the 

 best intormation on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carefully 

 and practice as advi^^ed.— Agriculturist, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Kurujienr America ; a 

 scientiBc 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 \\ Qsi.— \Vci>teni AgricuUur it>t. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual tor the instruction of bee-keepers whieh 

 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 left 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 pr*.tmote and make pnpular this must 

 interesting of alloccupailons.— -rlmeTncaji Inventor.
