The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



OR, 



MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Laneing, Processor of Entomology in the 

 State Agricultural College of MichigazL 



3SO PoKea ; i:i3 Fine JlluMtriitloas. 



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

 the Apiary, enlarged and elceantly illustrated. 



The first edition of S.OCO copies was exhausted in 

 about 18 moDtiis— a sale unprecedented in the 

 ann:ilsof bee-culture. This new work has been 

 pru>,iuced 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 beea; 

 full desccriptiona of honey-producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.. splendidly illustrated— and last,thouKh 

 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 

 afford to do without. Itlsfully "up with tlie times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Read the following opinions of the Book; 



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

 real Viiiue.—L' Apiculture, Paris. 



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

 can works.- LEWIS T. CoLBV. 



It appears to ha^e cut the ground fronr under 

 future book-makers.— iJn(ii/i Bee Journal. 



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

 stitnt guide in my operations and successful man- 

 agementot" the apuiiy.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. Cook's New M;inual of thi? Apiury than from 

 any other book.— E. H. WY.vii.OOP. 



This book is just what everyone Interested in 

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

 it, will ever retiret having purcnased.- 3iic/i. Far. 



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

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

 exhaustive work.— iferaici, Monticeilo, 111. 



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

 is fuily up with the cimes in every particular. The 

 richest rewaial awaits us author.— A. K. Wknzel. 



My s\iccess has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myMelf. :md nnich of it is due lo the clear, dis- 

 interested inturm:ttion contained in Cook's Man- 

 uiii.— W.M. Van Antwerp, 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 ail bee-raisers.- Ky. Live Stock Record, 



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

 I hiive never yet met witlia work, either French 

 or foreign, which 1 like so much.— L'AEBE |)(J 

 BoLS, eUitorof the BuLttin D' Ap-icult^ur^ France. 



It not only gives tlie natural history of these In- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series ot directions for tlieir 

 management; aboa botanical description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account ol the 

 enemies oi bees.— i>e77iocra(, Pulaski, N, V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this ivide 

 mecii/H ot tlie bee-keeper. It is replete with the 

 beat information on everything beiouging to api- 

 ( uiiure. Q'o al taking an interest in this suigect, 

 we »i:v, obtain this valuable work, read it caieluUy 

 and practice as advised.— ^loricuUuruf, Quebec. 



This book is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the must coniplcie luid prjictieal 

 tiea'ise on bee-culture in Europe or America; a 

 scieniiilc work on ujodern bee management that 

 everv t'xperienced bec' man wiJl welcome, and it is 

 e.-^st'htiul to every amateur In bee-culture. It ie 

 hun(js<imely printed, ne;itiy hound, and is a credit 

 to the ^N esu—WtUbm AijricuUu nut. 



This work Is undoubtedly the most coiiplete 

 manual tor the instruction ot bee-keepers which 

 has ever been publis*hed. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the care and management of the 

 apiary. There is no subject relaiing to the culture 

 of bees letr untouched, and in the compilatutn of 

 the work Prof. Cnok has had the advantage ot all 

 theprrvious knowlede of apiarists, which he uses 

 admirably to promote an«.I make popular this most 

 interesting of all occLpii'LU)iifl.—-l»tfrtca7i/*iyentor.
