THE HANDY BOOK. 



Rend the opinion of one of the most eminent 

 writers on bee matters; 



Bound Brook. N. J., May 4, 1883. 



FttlESn ALLEY :— Handy Book received, I am 

 hiippv C*hrt.ay that I consider that it tells more on 

 tlie vital subjects of rearing Queens and manalfinff 

 bees so as to take honey, than jtny book now before 

 the public. It seems to be tilled with just those 

 thinu's which practical men find out about their 

 business in a lifetime of work, but which they 

 generally don't tell the dear public. 



J. Hasbbouck. 



The HANDY BOOK has received from those 

 most coiupetent to judge of its value, more praise 

 than any book now in print. Send forour Circular 

 and get their opinions.
