Bee Culture 





Is a book of nearly I oo pages (the size of the Review) that I wrote 

 and published in iSgr; and I will tell you how I gathered the infor- 

 mation that it contains. For 15 years I was a practical bee-keeper, 

 producing tons of both comb and extracted honey; rearing and selling 

 thousands of queens, reading all of the bee books and journals, attend- 

 ing all the conventions and fairs, visiting bee-keepers, etc., etc. 

 Then I began publishing the Review, and, for several years, each issue 

 was devoted to the discussion of some special topic; the best bee- 

 keepers of the country giving their views and experience. Advanced 

 Bee Culture is really the summing up of these first few j-ears of 

 special topic numbers of the Review; that is, from a most careful ex- 

 amination of the views of the most progressive men, and a thorough 

 consideration of the same in the light of my experience as a bee- 

 keeper, I have described in plain and simple language what I believe 

 to be the most advanced methods of managing an apiary, iox profit, 

 from the beginning of the season through the entire year. 



A new and revised edition, which includes the improvements of 

 the past ten years, is just out; and is as handsome a little book as ever 

 was printed. The paper is heavy, extra machine finished, white 

 lx)ok, and there are several colored plates printed on heavy enameled 

 paper. For instance, the one showing a comb badly affected with 

 foul brood is printed in almost the exact color of an old comb. The 

 cover is enameled azure, printed in three colors. 



Price of the book, 50 cts. The Review fur one year, and the l)ook 

 for only $1.25.
