MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansiiig, Pro/tasor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of MichigazL 



320 Paseii ; 133 Fine IlluiitrutionD. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The flrst edition of 3,000 copies waa exhausted tn 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-f!ulture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineation 

 of the anat«:>niy and physiology of the honey bee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

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

 full desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc., splendidly Illustrated— and la3t,lhougb 

 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 instructive, but intensely 

 Interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the JoUo^vino opinions of the Booki 



All agree th.it it Is the work of a master and of 

 real value.— ij'.4^Hcu/(ur«, Paris. 



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

 can works.-LEWis T. COLUV. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— Bn(i*h Bee Journal. 



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

 stant 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 of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. 11. Wy.vkoop. 



This book is just what everyone Interested in 

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

 it, will ever regret having purcuused.— 3/ic/i. Far. 



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

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

 exhaustive work.- iffra/d, Mouticello, III. 



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

 ia fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest rewajii awaits it« author.— A. E. Wexzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and much of it is due to ihe clear, dis- 

 interested intormatn:)n contained in Cooks Man- 

 uaJ.- W.M. Van A-ntueki-. M. u 



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

 the bee and hives, 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 have never yet met with a work, either French 

 or foreign, which I like so much.— L'Abbe DU 

 Bois, editor of the BuUetin D' ApiculteuT, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of theee in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed aeries of directions for their 

 management; al.-^oa botanical description of honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account Of the 

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



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecwmot the bee-keeper. It ia replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to apt- 

 culture. To al taking an interoft in ibis subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it careluUy 

 and practice as advised.— ^gricuitumf, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the mo^t complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Europe or America; a 

 scientltlc work on Ufdem bee management that 

 everj' experienced bee iu»n will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the WeAl.— WesteTniAyricuUuriat. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual for the instruction of bee-keepers whieh 

 h^ ever benn published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding tiie Ciireand management of the 

 apiary. There is no nutij^t^'t relating to the culture 

 of bees left untouchtMl, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prui. Cook haa had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede ot apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this moat 

 interesliug of alloccupatioas.- American Inventor.
