MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lanshig, Projcssor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan. 



»20 Paeesi 1»3 Fine IlluiilratIoii«. 



This la a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual or 

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The Orst edition of ;i,000 copies was exhausted in 

 about IS months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of beo-eulture. 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 eneravings — 

 the products of the Honey Bee ; the races of boes; 

 full desccriptions of honey -producing planta.lrees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendidly Illustrated— and last.thougb 

 not least, detailed instructions for the varioue 

 manipulations necessary in the apiary. 



This work is a masterly production, and one that . 

 no bee-keeper, however limited his means, can 

 aflord 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 Jollowing opinions of the Book; 



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

 real va.i\xe.~-L' Apicnllure, Pans. 



1 think Cook's Manna! is tne best of our Ameri- 

 can works.— LEWIS T. Colby. 



It appears to ha"e cut the ground from under ■ 

 future UooU-makers.— Brttu/i Bte 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 M;i!iuitl nf the Apiary than trum < 

 any other book.— J?:, H. Wynkoop. 



This book is just what everyone interested in 

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

 It, will ever regret buvmg pui chased. —jVitft. Far. 



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

 manual is a necessity. Piof. Cook's Manual is an - 

 exhaustive work.- Htraid, Monticello, 111. 



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

 is fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

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



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 interested information contained in Cook's Muq- 

 uai.— WM. Van antweri*. M. O 



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 bee-raisers.- K^. Live Stock Record. 



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

 1 have never yet met wltli a work, either French 

 or foreign, wliich 1 like so much.— Ij'Abbe l)U 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin £>' Aptcidteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but alwo a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expros.sed series of directions for their 

 management; alsoa boianicaldescription of honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account ot the 

 enemies of bi:es.— Democrat, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this ivrd* 

 mccnvi of the bee-keeper. It Is replete with the 

 best mtorniation on everything belooging to api- 

 culture. To al takingun interest in this subject, 

 we say, obtain this valuable work, read it carelully 

 and practice as advised.— .^oricuiturist, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be ttie most complete and prat-tical 

 trearise on bee-culture in Europe or America ; a 

 scientiHc work on modern bee management that 

 every experienced bee man will welcome, and il is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It ie 

 hanasumely printed, neatly bfiund. and is a credit 

 to the W QsL—Weatern AgricuLurist. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual for the instruction of bee-keepers which ■ 

 has ever been publislied. 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 Pruf. Cock hii.s had the advantage ot all 

 the previous kn<uvlcde of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to prMiiiMtf and make popular this most 

 interesting uf allocLupa-tiuns.- -I»uenca7i Inventor.
