The Bee-Keeper's Guide; 



OR, 



MANUAL OF THE APIARY, 



By A. J. COOK, 



Of Lansinij, Professor of Entomology in the 



State Agricultural College of Micliigaa 



3ZO Foffea i 133 Fine Illuatrattooa. 



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 18 months — a sale unprecedeBted in th'- 

 annals of bee-culture. This new work has been 

 produced with great care, patient study and per- 

 sistent research. It comprises a full delineatiori 

 of the an:it<.>my and physiology of the honeybee, 

 illustrated with many costly wood engravings — 

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

 fuildesccriptions of honey -producing plants.trees, 

 shrubs, etc.splendiJIy illustrated— and laat.ihougli 

 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 bis means, cao 

 afford to do without. U is fully "up with the times ' 

 on every conceivable subject that can interest the 

 apiarist. It is not only instinctive, but intensely 

 interesting and thoroughly practical. 



Head the Jollowino opinions of the Book ; 



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

 real value.— L'AjrUaUure, Paris. 



I think Cook's M;tnual is tne best of our Ameri- 

 can works.— LEWIS T. Colby. 



Itnppearsto have cut the ground from undei 

 future bouU-makers.— Brt(i.-/i Bet JnurnaL 



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

 stanipuide in my operatiuus iind successful man- 

 agementof the apiary.— J. P. West. 



I have derived more practical knowledge from 

 Prof. C<iok's New Manual ut the Apiary than trom 

 any other book.— E. H. Wyxkoop. 



This book is just what everyone Interested Id 

 bees ought to have, and whicii. no tpne who ootains 

 It, will ever reyrei havmg puiuaaseU.--.Vic/t. Far, 



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

 manual is a nece>sity. Pivt. Cook's Mauuul is an 

 exhaustive work.— iferafd, Monticello, 111. 



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

 ia fuily up with the times in every particular. The 

 richest rewMiTi awaits us author.— A. K. Wenzei.. 



My success has been so great as to almost aston- 

 ish myself, and imicli uf it is due to itie clear, dis- 

 Inteiested inlurm:ition contained in Cook's Man- 

 ual.— VVai. Van A-NTVVEXiF. 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 turpiyn, which 1 like so much.— JVAbbe Dv 

 Bois, editor of the BuLetin D' A^iculteur, France. 



It not only gives the natural history of these in- 

 dustrious insects, but also a thorough, practicaU 

 and clearly expressed series of directu>ns for their 

 management; also a bolanica 1 description ot honey 

 producing plants, and an extended account of the 

 enemies of bees.— i>tntocr«t, Pulaski, N. V. 



We have perused with great pleasure this vadb 

 mccuiuof the bee-keeper. It is replete with the- 

 best information on everything belonging to api- 

 culture. 'I'o al takingan inierest m this subject, 

 we say. obtain this valuable work, read it carefully 

 and practice as advised.— .ttyrituidiriiit, Quebec. 



This book Is pronounced by the press and leading 

 bee-men to be the most complete and practical 

 treatise on bee-culture in Euiopeor America ; a 

 scientitlc work on un-iiern bee management that 

 every experienced bee m;io will welcome, and it is 

 essential to every ani;ilpur in bee-culture. It in 

 banasomely printed, neatly bcmnd, and ia a credit 

 to the West.— irt6ltr7l-4yricu/u[ifij.(. 



This work is undoubtedly the most cOTpIete- 

 manual lor the instruction of bee-keepers whiGii 

 has ever been published. It gives a full explana- 

 tion regarding the c;ireand management of the 

 apiary. There is no suOject relating to the culture 

 tif bees letf untouched, and in the compilation of 

 the work Prof. Cook has had the advantage of all 

 the previous knowlede of apiarists, which he usea 

 admirably to promote and make popular this most 

 interesting of alloccupa'tions.— j4«iencan Inventor,
