MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansing, Projeasor of EntomoloQy in the 

 State Agricultural College of Michigan.. 



3dO Paeres ; 133 Fine IlUiMtrution«. 



This I3 a new edition of Prof. Cook's Manual oC 

 the Apiary, enlarged and eleeantly itlustrated. 

 The first edition of 3,000 copies was exhausted In 

 about 18 months — a sale unprecedented in the 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work haa 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 euEravmss — 

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

 full desccriptions of honey-producing planis,trees» 

 shrubs, etc.. splendidly Illustrated— and last,ihouch- 

 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 times" 

 on every conceivable subject that can Interest the 

 apiarist. It Is not only instructive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical.

All agrree that it Is the work of a master and oi' 

 real value.—L'ApiciUture, Purls. 



I think Coo'-:'8 Manual is toe best of our Ameri- 

 can works.- Lew IS T. Colby. 



It appears to ha^*e cut the ground from undee 

 future book-makers.- Brifush Bee Journal. 



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

 stant gnide in my ttperations and successful man- 

 agement uf the apiary.— J. P. WEST. 



I have derived more practical knowledge froua 

 Prof. Conk's New Miinual of the Apiary than trom 

 any other book.— E. H. Wynkoop. 



This book Is just what everyone Interested 10 

 bees ought to have, and which, no one who obtain* 

 It, will ever regret havmg purcnased.— iUic/i. Far. 



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

 manual Is a necessity. Piut. Cook's Manual Ih an* 

 exhaustive work.- Herald, Monticello, 111. 



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

 is t'uily up with the times in every particular. The- 

 richeat rewiiru awaits its author.— A. E. W enzel. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

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

 inteiesipd intoruiation contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— WM. Van Antwerp, M. U 



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

 the bee and h ives. with their implemeulsi. 1 1 is of 

 value to all bec-raieers.— Kt/. Live Stock Record, 



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

 I hiive never yet met with a work, either Frencb 

 ■ If lureign, which I like so much.— L'Abbe Dlt 

 iJois, editurof the BuUetin D' Avicnlteur^ France. 



It not onty gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practical, 

 and clearly expressed series ot directions for their 

 management; alsoa botanical description ot honey 

 oroducing plants, and an e.'itended account of the- 

 enemies of bees.— £>t7uocrat, [*uluski. N. Y. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vndt 

 mecum of the bee-keeper. It is replete with the- 

 best intormation on everything beloncing to apl- 

 <-*uiiure. To ul taking an Interest in thissubject^ 

 we ■A-AV, obtain this valuable work, read It carefully 

 and piaciice as advised.— .*4(7ncaiti(rii(, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading: 

 bee-men to be the nn.ist complete and practical' 

 tiea'ise on bee-culture in Euinpeor America ; » 

 scientiHc work on modern bee management that 

 ever>' experienced bee man will welcnme, and it is 

 essential to every aniuteur in bee-culture. It is- 

 banasomely printed, nt-ntiy bound and la a credit 

 to the Vi <Ast.— \Vei,lt.rn AQricuUuribt. 



This work Is undoubtedly the most complete- 

 manual tor tho instruction ot bee-keepers whlcl* 

 hiLs ever been publl^bod. It gives a full ext^lana- 

 tion regarding the care and uuinagement of the 

 apiary. There is nosuiiject relating to the culture 

 of bees letf untouched, and In the compilatmn of 

 the work Prof. Cook has luid the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which be use& 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupaiiona.—.4niertcan Inventor.
