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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of ;J,0C0 copies was exhausted in. 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annaJsof bee-culture. This new work has bceit 

 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 Ui:.ney Bee : the races of beesv 

 full desccripttons of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splcndi.Uy Illustrated— and last. though 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various- 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one tbat. 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 aflord to do without. It is fully "up with the limes'* 

 on every conceiv::blo subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intcnsely^ 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Head the follow Inn opinions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— X,'.'lj>tcw(Iure, Paris. 



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

 can wurks.-l-E\visT. Colby. 



It appears to ha'e cut tlie ground from under 

 future book-makers.- iinU.v/i Bee Journal. 



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

 stant guide in my oporatioua 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 fromi 

 any other book.— E. H. WVNK.001'. 



This book Is just what everyone interested Ini 

 bees ought to have, and whicii. no one who ooiains- 

 it, will ever regret having purcnused.— J\/ic/t. Far. 



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

 manual is a necessity. Pruf. Cook's Manual is ao. 

 exhaustive work.— fferaid, Moniicello, 111. 

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

 is fUily up with tlie times in every particular. The- 

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

 [ My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 I interested intormation contained in Cook's Ma n- 

 \ ual.— Wm. Van Antweki'. 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 bec-raiaers.— ^y. Live Stock Record. 



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



I have never yet met with a work, either Frencb 



I or loreiyn. wlncli I like so much.— 1/Abbe 1>u 



Boitf, editor of the Bui.ef in D' A picuUeur, France- 



I It not only gives the natural history of these in- 



I dustrioua insects, but also a thorougli. practical, 



I and clearly expressed series of directions for their 



management; also a boiaoic.-fldescnjition ot honey 



producing plants, and an e.\tended account of the 



enemies 61 beos.—fJeniocrat, PuUiski, N. Y'. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vnde 

 viecuniot the bee-kccper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belousing to api- 

 culture. To al takingan intereL-t in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carefully 

 and practice as a(lvis(ni.—Agriculturii,t, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading- 

 bee-men to be tlie most conjplcte and practical 

 lrea*ise on bee-cultur.' in Europe or America; a 

 scieniidc work on modorn bee inunagement that 

 eveiy experienced bee man will welci >me. and it is 

 e^esential to every aiiateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound and is a credit 

 to the \Wesi.~\Wiitt:rn AnricuLurmt. 



This work is undoubtedly the most coTpIete 

 manual tor the instruction ot bee-keepers wbteb 

 hits ever been publi.'-hed. It gives a tuH explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There Is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees left untotiched. and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage ot all 

 the previous knowlede ol apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting ot alloccupaiions.- -dnitrican Inventor.
