FIRST LESSONS IN BEEKEEPING 



BY C. P. DADANT. 



FOR many years a book under the above title has been in the market. It 

 was originally written by Thos. G. Newman, and later revised by C. P. 

 Dadant. 



While the present book bears the same title, it is entirely new and has been rewrit- 

 ten from beginning to end. Even though you have the old book, you will want the 

 new one also, for it is a far better book than the old one ever was, and it is right up to 

 date. 



The senior editor of The American Bee Journal, who is the author of the New 

 First Lessons, has spent nearly all his life in a beekeeping atmosphere. His father, 

 the late Charles Dadant, was an investigator who became well known on both sides 

 of the Atlantic, and whose writings have been translated into several languages. As a 

 young man the author of First Lessons was associated with his father in honey produc- 

 tion and assisted him in the many experiments which he conducted in his efforts to 

 make beekeeping a practical business. 



Of late Mr. Dadant has traveled extensively, both in Europe and America, and 

 is familiar with the best methods of honey production and with the leading beekeepers 

 of many countries. With a lifetime of practical experience and such unusual oppor- 

 tunities for observation, C. P. Dadant is especially fitted to prepare a book for the 

 beginning beekeeper. 



Just the things you want to know, in a style easily understood, and with many 

 pictures to explain the text. 



You may safely recommend First Lessons in Beekeeping to your friends.
