MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of LansiJi^, Pro/essor of EntomoloQi/ in the 



State Agricultural College of MichigaiiL 



330 Paices ; 133 Fine IlIUNiratitni*. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and ele(?antly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was 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 u full delineation 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the honey bee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

 the productsof the Honey Bee ; the races of bees; 

 full desccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees. 

 shrubs, etcspleodidly Illustrated— and last,thougb 

 not least, detailed instructions for the various 

 manipulations necessary in the apinry. 



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. 



j Read the following opinions of the Book : 



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

 real value.— L'ApicuUure, Paris. 



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

 can works.— Lewxs T. Colby. 



It appears to have cut the ground from under 

 future book-makers.— iJrifiaTi Bee Journal. 



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

 stant guide in my (iperations and successful man- 

 agemeutof the upiary.— 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. VVyxkoop. 



This book is just what everyone interested In 

 bees ought to have, and which, no t)ne who obtaimt 

 it, wUl ever refe;reL having purcnased.— A/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.— Herald t Monticelio. 111. 



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

 ia fuily up with the limes in every particular. The 

 richest rewuiTl awaits its author.— A. E. Wenzel. 



My success has been so ^eat as to almost aston- 

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

 interested iiiiormution contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— Wii. Van ANTWERP, M. O 



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

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

 value to all bee-ral.scrs.— .ffj/. Live Stock Record. 



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

 I huve never yet met with a work, either French 

 or toreign, which I like so much.— L'Abbe Dv 

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



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical. 

 and clearly e.xpressed seiiesof directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— Deviocrut, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vade 

 mecumot the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To a! tftkingan interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this v:i luable work, read it careiuUy 

 and practice as adviaed.— Agriculturist, Quebea 



This book is pronounced bythe press and leading 

 bee-men to be the must complete and practical 

 treatise on bce-culture in Kurupeor America; a 

 scientiflc work on mudem bee management that 

 ever.- experienced bee inim will welctime, and it ia 

 essential to every amuteur in hee-culture. It is 

 handsomely printed, neatly hound, and is a credit 

 to the W ti!iU—Vi\i,tt:m AgricuUuTist. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual for the instruction ot bee-keepers whieh 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees lotr untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Ci>ok has liud the advimtape of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably topromute and make popular this most 

 interesting of alioccupiviions.— .^.niencan Inventor.
