The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



OR, 



MINUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lanaing, Pro}€s$OT of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of MichigaiL 



820 Pasea ; 133 Fine Illuslratloiu. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly Illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies waa exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedeated 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 costly wood engravings — 

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

 full desccriptions of honey- producing planta.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly Illustrated— and las t.though 

 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 bla 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 JollovAng opinions of the Book; 



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

 real viLlae.—L' Apiculture, 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.— Britwh Bee JemmaL 



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 M^inual of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. U. Wynkuop. 



This book is just what everyone Interested In 

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

 it, will ever regret having purcnased.— J*/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.— if erafd, Monticello, 111. 



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

 Ib ifuily up with the times in every purticular. The 

 richest rewaAl awaits its author.— A. E. Wexzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 interested Information contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wii. Van ANTWERP. M. D 



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

 the bee and liives. with their implements. It Is of 

 value to all bee-raisers.— ffy. Lii'e 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 Bulletin D' Apxculleur, trance. 



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 

 management; also a botanical description of honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— i)emocra(, Pulaski, N. \'. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecum uf the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. Toul taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carelully 

 and practice as advised.— .^iffricu It uriat, Quebec 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the must complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Europe or Am^Tica ; a 

 scientific work on modem bee managemeiK, that 

 even- experienced bee roan will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur In bee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly bound, and Is a credtt 

 to the S\idiii.— WeitemAgricul^uTut. 



This work Is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual lor the instruction of bee-keepers whieh 

 haJs ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and managem<?nt of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating Vj the culture 

 of bees left untouched, and in the compilatujn of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous Jiuowlede of apiarists, which be uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupa^iona.- Anifncan Inventor,
