BOOKS FOR THB APIARIST. 



Having read many of the books treating of apiculture, 

 American and foreign, I can freely recommend such a course 

 to others. Each book has peculiar excellencies, and may be 

 read with interest and profit. 



L/ANGSTROTH ON THB Honby-BbE. — This treatise Will ever 

 remain a classic in bee-literature. I can not over-estimate the 

 benefits which I have received from a study of its pages. The 

 style of this work is so admirable, the subject-matter so replete 

 with interest, and the entire book so entertaining, that it is a 

 desirable addition to any library, and no thoughtful, studious 

 apiarist can well be without it. It is especially happy in detail- 

 ing the work of experimentation, and in showing with what 

 caution the true scientist establishes principles or deduces con- 

 clusions. The work is wonderfully free from errors, and had 

 the science and practice of apiculture remained stationary, 

 there would have been little need of another work. We are 

 happy to state, however, that this work is now revised by no 

 less able authorities than Chas. Dadant '& Son, which places it 

 high among our bee-books of to-day. Price, $1.20. 



A B C OE BeeCulTdrB. — This work is by the editors of 

 " Gloaaings in Bee-Culture." It is arranged in the convenient 

 form of our cyclopedias, is printed in fine style, on beautiful 

 paper, and is very fully illustrated. I need hardly say that the 

 style is pleasing and vigorous. The subject matter is fresh, 

 and embodies the most recent discoveries and inventions per- 

 taining to bee-keeping. Price, $1.20.
