MMUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Professor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan, 



830 Pasres ; 133 Fine Illustrations. 



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 in 

 about IS months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with ereat 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 eneravmgs ~ 

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

 full deaccriptions of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etcsplendidly illustrated— and laaUthoueh 

 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 

 afiord 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 thorout:hly practical. 



Read the following opmioTis of the Booh ; 



All apree that it la the work of a master and of 

 real value.— L'.(4f>(C(t/(ure, Paris. 



I think Cook's Manual is tne best of our Ameri- 

 can works.- LEWIS T. CoLUY. 



It appears lo ha'^e cut the pround from under 

 futm'e book-makers.— British Bee J&urnaL 



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

 stant tMiide in my operations and successful man- 

 anementof the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I havo derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New Manual of the Apiary than trom 

 any other book.— E. 11. VVyxkoop. 



This book is just what everyone Interesf^d in 

 bees ought lo have, and which, no one who ooiiiina 

 It, will ever rej^ret having purcnased.— JV/ic/i. Far, 



To nil who wish to engage -n bee-rulture, a 

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

 exhaustive work.— iitra(d, Mouticello, 111. 



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

 l6 fuily up with the iHues in every particular. The 

 richest rewaid awaits its author.- A. E. Wexzel. 



My success has been sopreat as to almost aston- 

 ish mysell, and nmih of it is due to the clear, dis- 

 interested inlornjatton contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual. -WM. Van A.ntweui*. M. D 



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

 Bois, editor of the Bulletin D' Aptculteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed seiiesof directions for their 

 management; also a botanical description ot honey 

 producing pliints, and an extended account oi the 

 enemies of btms.— Democrat, Pulaski, N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this i-^rfe 

 mecitniot the bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 best information on everything belom-'ing to api- 

 culture. To al taking an interest in this subject, 

 we say. obtain this valuable work, read it careiully 

 and practice as advised.— jloricuiturtst, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the umpt complete and prjictical 

 treatise on bce-cultme in Euiopeor America; a 

 scientidc work on modern bee management that 

 even' experienced bee- man will welc<-me. and it is 

 essential to every amateur in bee-culture. It is 

 banasomely printed, neatly bound, and is a credit 

 to the \\est.— n'eUt:rnAijricul<.uriiit. 



This work is undoubtedly the most cOTplete 

 manual tor the insiruction of bee-keepers whieh 

 has ever been publi.-hcd. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding ttie cure and management of the 

 apiary There is no sut'jeci relating to the culture 

 ot bees letf untonchod. and In the compilaiMOof 

 the work Prof. C'lok has hud the advantJiee Of all 

 the previous knowiede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 inteiestiug of aUoccLpa^imus.— .Anifncan Inventor.
