The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



MiNUiLOFTIIEAriARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of LansiiL'j, Pro/eanor of Entomologv in the 



f^^fS State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



SSO Puc-es ; 133 Fine lUtittlrutlonii. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,0C0 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 honeybee, 



lustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

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

 tu II desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

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

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 manipniatioiis necessary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, liowover limited his means, can 

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

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 npiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the foUowiiuj opinions of the Book ; 



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

 real value.— L'AplcuU are, 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 book-makers.— iJn(u/i Bee Journal. 



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

 stitnt 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. H. WvxKuOP. 



This book is just what everyone Interested in 

 bees ought to have, and which, nn one who oDiains 

 it, will ever reyret having pui cnased.— .litu/i. Far, 



To all who wish to engage -n be^-fiilture, a 

 manual is a necessity. Piuf. Cook's JM;iriual is an 

 exhaustive work.— iiera/d, Mouticello, lil. 



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

 is fudy up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. B. Wkmzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myselt. and iiiu.-h ot it is due lo ihe clear, dis- 

 interested iniurujution contained in Cooks Man- 

 ual.— Wii. Van antwehp, M. D 



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

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

 value to all bee-raisers.— Kj/. 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 toreign. which I like so much.— L'Abbe OU 

 Botti, editor of the Bulletin Z>' Apiculteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly e.\ pressed series of directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description of honey 

 produciugplants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of baea.—Democrat, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this wd« 

 viecuvfut the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. Tu al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it caretully 

 and practice as advised.— .igncu/turjif, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most comiilote and practical 

 irea'ise on bee-culture in Fuiopeor America; a 

 scw'iuitlc work on inodf^rn bee ni;inagement that 

 evil \ (■.\p*.Ti<-n.rii bi',- liian will u.'i. .>iii(;. and it is 

 .-v,.|jii;il to.-vi'fv aiunt.'iir in ln-i'-.uti ure. It is 

 hiiirdMiinely piuif'd. luMtly bound, and is u credit 

 to the W iisl.-^Wtittrn AijricuUurint. 



This work is undoubtedls* the raost complete 

 manual lor the instruction of bee-keepers which 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding tlie care and managenftnt of the 

 apiary. There is.no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees letf untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage ot all 

 the previous knowiede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupa-iiVius.- ^JuericaTi Inventor.
