THE MANAGEMENT OF BEES. 269 
The necessity for a knowledge of the cause of bee diseases before rational treat- 
ment is possible is pointd out. The present state of knowledge-of the causes of 
disease is summarized.

By E. F. Phillips, Ph. D. 1909. Pp. 43-58, 6 plates. 
An account of the beekeeping methods used in a tropical country and a com- 
parison with mainland conditions. Some new manipulations are recommended. 
Bulletin No. 75 Part VI, “The Status of Apiculture in the United 
States.” By E. F. Phillips, Ph. D. 1909. Pp. 59-80. 
A survey of present-day beekeeping in the United States, with suggestions as to 
the work yet to be done before apiculture will have reached its fullest development. 
Bulletin No. 75, Part VII. “Bee Keeping in Massachusetts.” By Bur- 
ton N. Gates. 1909. Pp. 81-109, 2 figs. 
An account of a detailed study of the apicultural conditions in Massachusetts. 
The object of this paper is to point out the actual conditions and needs of bee- 
keeping in New England.

Bulletin No. 98, ‘Historical Notes on the Causes of Bee Diseases.” By 
E, F. Phillips, Ph. D., and G. F. White, Ph. D., M. D. (In press.) 
A summary of the various investigations concerning the etiology (cause) of bee- 
diseases, 
Technical Series, No. 14, “The Bacteria of the Apiary, with Special 
Reference to Bee Diseases.” By G. F. White, Ph. D. 1906. 50 pp. 
A study of the bacteria present in both the healthy and the diseased colony, with. 
special reference to the diseases of bees. 
Technical Series No. 18, “The Anatomy of the Honey Bee.” By R. E. 
Snodgrass. 1910. 162 pp., 57 figs. 
An account of the structure of the bee, with technical terms omitted so far as- 
possible. Practically all of the illustrations are new, and the various parts are in- 
terpreted according to the best usage in comparative anatomy of insects. A brief 
discussion of the physiology of the various organs is included. 
BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY.

Honeys.” By C. A. Browne. Including “A Microscopical Study of 
Honey Pollen.” By W. J. Young. 1908. 93 pp., I fig., 6 plates. 
A comprehensive study of the chemical composition of American honeys. This 
publication is technica] in nature and will perhaps be little used by practical bee 
Keepers, but it is an important contribution to apicultural literature. By means. 
of this work the detection of honey adulteration ts much aided.
