BEES and HONEY, 



Management of an Apiary for Fleaanre 

 and Profit ; by 



THOMAS C. NEWMAN. 



Editor of the Weekly Bee JourrulL 

 9S5 treat Madison Street, Chlcafo, III. 



Mrs. J. F. Upton gives the follow- 

 ing notice of this book in the Bath, 

 Maine, Sentinel : 



A guide to the management of the 

 apiary for profit and pleasure, by 

 Thomas G. Newman. This work is 

 designed to initiate beginners in bee- 

 keeping in all the secrets of success- 

 ful bee-culture. Beginning with the 

 different races of bees, the author 

 takes his readers along step by step, 

 carefully explaining the different 

 kinds of bees, illustrating each kind 

 with the eggs and brood, explaining 

 tlie terms used, the production of wax 

 and comb, and the work done by 

 these wonderful insects. The estab- 

 lishment of an apiary is next con- 

 sidered ; the best location, time to 

 commence, how many colonies to be- 

 gin with, what kind of bees to get, 

 how to care for a lirst colony, keeping 

 bees on shares, changing the location, 

 all of which it is indispensable for a 

 beginner to know. It is also impor- 

 tant to know which kind of hive is 

 the best, how to procure the best comb 

 honey, how to procure it for market, 

 how it should be marketed, what to 

 do with candied comb honey, and how 

 to extract honey. The scientific man- 

 agement of an apiary is then entered 

 into, and illustrations of all the nec- 

 essary applicances introduced. There 

 is a chapter devoted to the honey ex- 

 tractor and its use, and another to 

 comb foundation and its use. The 

 various honey-producing plants and 

 trees are named and illustrated. 

 Various methods for exhibiting bees 

 and honey at county and state fairs 

 are described. The best and safest 

 plans for wintering bees are discussed, 

 the book closing with some general 

 advice to beginners. The author says 

 of his book on Bees and Honey, " it 

 was not designed to supersede or sup- 

 plant any of the valuable works on 

 apiculture already published, but to 

 supply a want for a cheap work for the 

 beginners." We most cordially rec- 

 ommend this work not only to begin- 

 ners, wlio will find it invaluable, but 

 to all who are not already familiar 

 with the lives and movements of 

 these industrious and intelligent 

 little workers. The information to be 

 gained as to their habits, manner of 

 breeding, intelligence, energy and 

 wonderful instincts, by reading this 

 book alone, is enough to make one 

 regard the bee with admiration and 

 amazement.
