Books for Bee-Keepers. 18 
Langstroth on the Honey-Bee.—This treatise will ever re- 
main a classic in bee-literature. I cannot over-estimate the 
benefits which I have received from the 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. Itis especially happy 
in detailing the methods of experimentation, and in showing 
with what caution the true scientist establishes principles or 
deduces conclusions. The work is wonderfully free from 
errors, and, had the science and practice of apiculture re- 
mained 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 Dadant & Son, 
which places it high among our bee-books of to-day. Price, 
$1.25. : 
Quinby’s Mysteries of Bee-Keeping.—This is a plain, sen- 
sible treatise, written by one of America’s most successful bee- 
keepers. The work has been revised by L. C. Root, who has 
fully maintained its excellent character. The admirable style . 
and eminent practicality of this work have lost nothing in the 
revision. Mr. Root is the son-in-law of the late Mr. Quinby, 
and was fully advised of the latest views and discoveries of the 
great bee-keeper. To these he has added the rich results of 
his own experience, as well as the latest discoveries and meth- 
ods of the most progressive apiarists. Price, $1.50. 
ABC of Bee Culture.—This work is by the editor of 
“Gleanings 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 
pertaining to bee-keeping. Thatit may be kept abreast of 
apiarian progress, the type is to be kept in position, so that 
each new discovery may be added as soon as made. Price, 
$1.20. 
Bees and Honey.—This work is by Thomas G. Newman, 
late editor of the ‘“‘American Bee Journal.” It is small, but 
contains an epitome of the science and art of bee-culture. 
Like all of the other works it has its peculiar excellencies, 
and may well find a place in the library of every progressive 
apiarist. Price, 75 cents. ‘
