Bee-Breeding' 



A bee-book iKat's different. 



Yes, really. It attacks this subject, of such vital interest to bee-keepers, in a way 

 that no other book does. Every bee-keeper should have a copy. Dja't think that, 

 because you do not rear queens, you do not need the book. It doesn't tell how to 

 raise queens— other books do that.. If you have but a colony of bees it's valuable 

 to you. 



It's a beautiful little book— art cover and ludia-tint paper printed in two colors. 

 You will be pleased with it all the way round; or if for any reasou after you get the 

 book and look it over you don't think it's worth the price I will refund your money .

Bfar Mr Green: — I am in receipt of your letter 

 of the 26th inst. and also the copy of your little 

 book, "Bee-breeding." for whicti I wish to thank

My Bear Mr. O e<-n:—l thank you very much

De ir Mr. G-reen: — Since you were here yesterday 

 I have had an opportunity to look over the book 



entitled " Bee-breeding," and write to express my 

 appreciation of your thoughtfulness in handing 

 me a copy of it, and to comnliment you on the 

 work in preparing the manuscript, and on the 

 way in which you have had it so attractively 

 bound. It covers a field which, in my opinion, is 

 altogether too much neglected; for. as you say, 

 " We need better bees." Yours very truly, 

 Medina, O., Sept. 5. Arthur L. Botdbn. 



D'ar Sir —Your handsome little book is re- 

 ceived, and I agree with you that it is the " finest 

 yet" brought out in the intt-rest of the honey-bee. 

 I shall place the gem among my trt^asures. 

 Yours io apiculture.
