MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology in Uu 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



320 Pattres ; 133 Fine IlUiKtriitions. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrate<l. 

 The first edition of a.OOO 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 honey bee, 

 illustrated with many coatly wood engravmgs — 

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

 fulldesccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly Illustrated— and last.though 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 manipulations neces.sary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that 

 no bee-keeper, however limited bis means, can 

 afford to dowithout. It is fully "up with the times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It iy not only instructive, but intensely 

 Interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Bead the following opinions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— i-'.-lpK-aWure, Paris. 



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

 can works.-L-EWis T. COLUY. 



It appears to have cut the ground frotu under 

 future book-makers.— iJn(i&/( Bee J&urnal. 



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

 stant guide in my opfra-tionsand 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 trum 

 any other book.— K. H. Wynkoop. 



This book la just what everj'one interested In 

 bees ought to hii vo. and which, no one wlio obtains 

 It, will ever regret having purcaased.— iliic/i. Far. 



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

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

 exhaustive work.— iff raid, Mouticello, 111. 



With Cook's Manual 1 am more than pleased. It 

 Is fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest reward awaits its author.— A. E. Wexzei,. 



My success has been so preat as to almost aston- 

 ish myselt, anjmuch of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested iiiiurmation contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— WM. Van A-ntweiu*. M. O 



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

 the bee and liive.-*. with their implements. It Is of 

 value to all bet::-raiscrs.— fiy. Live Slock Record. 



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

 I have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or foreign, wltuh I like so much.— l^'ABDE DlT' 

 Bois, editor or the BuLetin D' Ap^icuUeur, 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 

 Dianagement; al^^u a botanical description ot honey 

 producing i;iants. and an extended account ui the 

 enemies ol bees.— i>t'?nocnit, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure thia vnde 

 inecuviot the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

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

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it careiully 

 and practice as adviaed.— AgricuituriAt, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leadlnff 

 bee-men to bo ti^o most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Europe or America; a 

 scientiflc work on modern bee management that 

 ever>' experienced bee man will welcome, and it la 

 essential to every amateur In bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is u credit 

 to the W (Oil.— Western Ayr icuUuriat. 



This work i-t undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual lor the instruction of bee-keepers whietx 

 ha's ever ln;cn publi?*iied. It gives iifull exi-lana- 

 tion regariiiiig the care and management of the 

 apiary, 'rbi-io Is no subject relaiuig to the culture 

 of bees left untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage ot all 

 the prcviou>i knowlede ol apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of ulloccupa'iioua.— .4»ifncaTi Inventor,
