12 American Bee-Papers. 
Bee-Keepers’ Review.—Although the Review has just 
commenced its 11th year, it is already away up to the front, 
and an indispensable adjunct to every live apiarist. Its success 
and influence have been quite phenomenal. The ability, energy, 
and successful experience of the editor, both as writer and as 
a bee-keeper, fit him most admirably for his work. Not only 
has he won success in all departments of bee-keeping, but he 
has long been esteemed as one of the most able of our Ameri- 
can apicultural writers. W. Z. Hutchinson, Flint, Mich.,

and successful experience of Harry E. Hill, editor of this 
paper, are all well-known. It is a 20-page monthly magazine, 
neatly edited and well illustrated. It is published by W. T. 
Falconer Mfg. Co., Jamestown, N. Y., at 50 cents a year. 
Progressive Bee-Keeper.—This is one of the later bee- 
papers, but it shows wonderful progress and great promise of 
usefulness. Its present editor, R. B. Leahy, is noted for his 
ability, enterprise, and pushing business ways. It is published 
monthly by Leahy Mfg. Co., Higginsville, Mo. Price 50 cents 
a year. 
BOOKS FOR THE APIARIST. 
Having “ead very many of the books treating of apicul- 
ture, bot 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. No one who expects to 
make a success of bee-keeping should for a moment expect to 
do so without getting and studying one or more of the several 
thoroughly } ractical books that have been written on the sub- 
ject. So many questions arise which it is utterly impossible 
for the current periodicals to attempt to answer—questions 
that have teen answered over and over again in their columns 
—that the beginner who endeavors to get along without a good 
bee-book makes a serious mistake at the very outset. The 
following pages may not include a complete list of all the 
apiculturable books and pamphlets, but it gives the most im- 
portant of them, al! of which it would be found exceedingly 
helpful to have in any bee-keeper’s library.
