OPINIONS OF EMINENT APIARISTS OF ITS VALUE. 



From Geo. TT*. House, Fayettcville, N. Y. 

 The informittion gained by a careful study of the 

 new method of queen-rearing I considf^r worth one 

 hundred dollars to me. It supplies a long-felt want 

 to every queen-breeder and dealer, and is invaluable 

 to every bee-keeper. 



From James T. Norton, Winsted, Corm. 

 I have read the hook with much satisfaction and 

 profit; it is written concisely, and to the point; 

 should be in the hands of every bee-keeper. 



From Ttev. D. D. Marsh, Georgetown, Mass. 

 Your book on queen- rearing has been received. I 

 am very much pleased with it. It is refreshing to 

 see how frankly you have divulged the hard-earned 

 secrets of your long experience. Your book con- 

 tains a great deal of that iuf'ormation which those 

 who have already taken the "first lessons" in api- 

 culture will find new and valuable. 



It will be remembered that Mr. E. T. Flanagan, of 

 Belleville, III., went to Kenner, La., in March last to 

 rear early queens. After receiving the book he 

 wrote me thus: "I would have cneerfully given 

 $50.00 to have had your book and apparatus here 

 when 1 first came. I am raising 3U0 queens. 



From L. C. Boot, Moliawk, Neio York, one of the most 

 prominent apiarists in America. 

 "Your book has been received. Its title, "Twen- 



ty-two Years' Experience in Queen-Rearing," is 

 enoug-h to convince every bee-keeper that they can 

 not afford to be without it. Good queens is the rock 

 upon which bee-keeping rests. 1 predict a large sale 

 foi' the work." 



From J. M. Hichs, Editor of Bi'c-Dcpartment, Ameri- 

 can Orange HuV.etin. Mr. Hicks is well known 

 to nearly all bee-keepers in the West. 

 "Book received. I pronounce it the best work of 

 the kind cf American publication. I consider it a 

 perfect gem for the practical bee-keeper, and should 

 be in the hands of every apiarist. 



From American Bee Journal, April IT, 1883. 

 We are more thun pleased with it, not only with 

 its contents, but also with its typography and bind- 

 ing. It is a handsome octavo of 200 pages, with 20 

 illustrations. This is one of the subjects upon which 

 more light has been demanded by progressive api- 

 culture, and we are glad to welcome the work of Mr. 

 Alley on the subject, because he is a successful and 

 e.xperienced queeti-rearer.and he gives details of the 

 methods he nf)w practices after many experiments, 

 covering a period of 22 years, during which lime he 

 has, perhaps, produced and reared more queens 

 than any other breeder. This new work should be 

 in the hands of every practical apiarist, and is worth 

 many times its cost to any one having the manage- 

 ment of bees. 



Those who desire, may remit on receipt of book. Fractional parts of a dollnr can be sent in postnge- 

 stamps. Our 22d Annual Circular and Price List of Queens for 1883 contains 32 pages, and is illustrated to 

 show our new way of queen-rearing. Sent free. 5d
