BEES for SALE. 



1 Imve fnrsalL'HljciiitaoOfoloiilesof the 



Celebrated Arkansas Brown Bees, 



which I will dispose of in lots of TEN <^OLONIES 

 OK MORE at very reasonable prices. Thi^y are in 

 ten-frame Jjanpatroth and box hives. These bees 

 are said to be lar>;e, remarkably amiable, good sec- 

 tion workers, and excellent comb builders. Owing 

 to the mildness of the Arkansas winter, they will 

 be very strontr in bees, and sprint; dwindlinu will 

 be avoided. These 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 <)ut both my Southern Apiaries by March 

 15th, or remove them North. 



I am also booking orders for Italian Queens, Nu- 

 clei and Colonies, to be supplied from Chicago in 

 June. Address,

MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



330 PaeeM ; 133 FEae lUuittruClons. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 8,000 copies was exhausted 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 reseai-ch. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee. 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravmgs — 

 the productsof the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 f ull desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees. 

 shrubs, etc.. splendidly illustrated— and lasi.ihough 

 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 

 aflord 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 JoUoivlng opinions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— JL.*.4f>icu»ure. Paris. 



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

 can works.- LEWIS T. COLUY. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— if n(u^/t Bee Journal. 



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

 stinii 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 ot the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. U. VVY.nkoop. 



This book is Just what everyone interested in 

 bees ought to have, and wflioh. no one who ootains 

 It, will ever regret having puicnased.-JViic/i. Far. 



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

 manual is a nece-;sity. Prut. Cook's Mauual is an, 

 exhaustive vrovk.— Herald, Monticello, 111. 



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

 is fu.ly up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. E. W exzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 interested iniormation contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wm. Van ANTWEKl*, M. D 



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

 the bee and liives, with tiieir 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 huve never yet met with a work, either Freuclt 

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

 BOis, editor of the BuLetin £>' ApxciUteur, France.. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in^ 

 dustrioue insects, but also a thorough, practical^ 

 and clearly expressed aeries of directions tor their 

 management; also a botanical description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— X>eniocraf, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this rad* 

 mecuin ot the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best intormation on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an imere;-t in thissubject» 

 we say. obtain this valuable work, read it carefully 

 and practice as Hdviaed.— AgricaUuriat, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading^ 

 bee-men to be tiie most complete and pructical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Europe or Amtr-rica ; a 

 scientific wOrk <»n modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee man will welcome, and it la 

 essential i(_i every amateur In bee-culture. It ie 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to ttie W est.— Wtitttm Ayr icuUu riot. 



This work is undoubtedly the most co-nplete 

 manual tor the instruction ot bee-keepers which 

 has ever been publi.'^hed. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relaiiug to the culture 

 of bees k'lf uniouched. and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede ot apiarists, which he usea 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting ot atloccupa'tions.— 4iutnca;i Inventor.
