MANUAL OF THE APIAIIY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansituj. Pro/essur of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of MichigaiL 



8SO PoiCf M ; 1*S3 Fine IlIuMlrtttloiis. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elegantly illustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted la 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This now work bus been 

 produced with great core, patient study and per* 

 slstent research. It comprises a full deltneatloq 

 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; 

 f ull desccrlptions of honey-producing planta.lreeSi 

 shrubs, etc.splondidly illustrated— and lasl,thougb 

 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 

 aflord to do without. It is fully "up with the limes'* 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly pnictical. 



Head the folloxving opinions of the Book; 



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

 real value.— i^'.iptcuUure, Paris. 



I think Cook's Manual is tne best of our Amert« 

 can works.— LEWIS T. COLBY. 



It appears to have cut the ground from undep 

 futuie buult-makers.— Bn(u^/l liet Jeturnal. 



Prof. CooU's valuable Miinual has been my con- 

 stant gtndo ill luy operations and successful man-^ 

 agemeutof the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge frona 

 Prof. Cook's New Manu I of the Apiary than from 

 any other book.— E. H. Wynkuup. 



This book is just what everyone interested Iq 

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

 it, will ever rei;ret havmg pui cnased.— Jiit/i. Far. 



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

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

 exhaustive work.— ifera(d, Monticello, 111. 



With Cook's Manual 1 am more than pleased. I( 

 is fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

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



My success has been so preat as to almost aston« 

 Ish mysell, and much of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested inturmation contained in Cook's Man^ 

 ual.— WM. Van Antwerp. M. L) 



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.— iCy. 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 toreign. which I like so much.— L'Abbe 1>(J 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin D' Apiculteur, France, 



It not only gives the natural history of these in* 

 uustrious iusci'ts, but also a tlioroutrh, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series of directions for thetr 

 management; also a botanical description ol honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

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



We have perused vnth great pleasure this vadt 

 mecuniot the bee-keeper. It is replete with tlio 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. To al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say. obtain this valuable work, read it caretully 

 and practice as advised.— .dynctifdinjit, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leadlno 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-cutture in Europe or America; a, 

 scientific work on modern bee management thai 

 every experienced bee man will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 hanusomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the \\ e^t.— WcaUm AgricuUuTist. 



This work is undoubtedly the most complete 

 manual tor the instruction ot bee-keepers which 

 h;is ever t»ecn published. H gives a full explana- 

 tion rcgaiuiiig the care and management of the 

 apiary. Tht-ie is no subject relating to the culture 

 of bees lelf untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the adv.intage of all 

 the previous knowlede ot apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and malte popular this most 

 Interesting of allocCL:paiions.—.d;HtTacan Inventor^
