How to Keep Bees 



By Anna Botsford Comstock 



238 pages. 33 pages of illustrations. 



A charmingly written manual describing clear- 

 ly and in detail the outfit, first steps, and meth- 

 ods. The author's well-known literary ability 

 has combined with her enthusiasm for a subject 

 to produce a very unusual volume. It is a hand- 

 book for those who keep bees for happiness and 

 honey, and incidentally for money. It serves as 

 well as an introduction to the more extended 

 manuals already in the field. " Finally with all 

 due deference to the authors of the excellent 

 books on bee culture which we have already, my 

 opinion is that this new book, ' How to Keep 

 Bees,' is the best one for a beginner, or one who 

 does not wish or expect to keep more than a 

 dozen colonies, that has yet come before the 

 world." — A. I. Root, in Gleanings, July 1, 1906. 



Chap. 1, " Why Keep Bees," urges honey, per- 

 haps money, recreation, love of nature study, 

 and the need of bees in "a perfect garden," as 

 good reasons for keeping bees. The second 

 chapter tells "how to begin " in a small way, 

 and we may get all the necessary detailed in- 

 formation for management from later chapters, 

 arranged in order of demand for information. 



Price $1.00. Postage 10 cents extra. 



Money refunded to any dissatisfied 

 purchaser. '_
