W. H. Laws says/ 



If there is a queen- 

 breeder who can 

 boast of better 

 stock let him trot out the proof. Testimonials 

 enough to fill this book. Will give you only one. 

 Mr. J. C. King, Washington, D. C. writes, "For two 

 years I have had one of your queens in my apiary. 

 Each season she has given me over 200 lbs. comb 

 honey; last season she actually stored while other 

 colonies starved. I have over twenty strains in my 

 three apiaries, but yours is the best." 



Now is the time to get a line breeding queen; stock 

 up this fall and double your crop of honey the com- 

 ing season. Single queen, $1.00; 6 for $5.00. Extra 

 select breeders, $5.00. Safe arrival and satisfaction 

 guaranteed.

How to Keep Bees 



By Anna Botsford Comstock 



228 pages. 32 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 

 diae 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 Oleanings. 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.
