PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION 



The author is much gratified with the interest manifested in 

 Productive Bee-Keeping, which makes a new edition desirable. 

 A number of changes have been incorporated in the text, mostly 

 for the purpose of presenting the subjects a little more fully. It 

 has not been found necessary to rewrite any considerable por- 

 tion of the book in order to keep it fully up to date.
