12 American Bee-yournals. 



American Aficulturist. — This has become one of the 

 ablest and most influential of our several bee periodicals. 

 Edited by an experienced bee-keeper, it at once marches 

 well up to the front. Its editorials are able, and its articles 

 from tlje most capable of American apiarists. The style 

 of the paper leaves little to be desired. Its editor is Henrj- 

 Alley, Wenham, Mass. Price 75 cents a year. 



Bee-Keepers'' Review. — Although the Review is one of 

 our youngest bee journals, having just commenced its 

 fourth year, it is already away up to the front, and an 

 indispensible adjunct to every live apiarist. Its success and 

 influence has been quite phenomenal. The ability, energy, 

 and succesful experience of the editor, both as a 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 American apicultural writers. W. Z. Hutchinson, 

 Flint, Mich., $1.00 a year. 



American' Bee-Keeper. — The short life of many bee 

 papers would make me hesitate to notice one but recently 

 started, except that the ability, enterprise, and long and suc- 

 cessful experience of W. T. Falconer, not only as a bee- 

 keeper but as a dealer in supplies, makes success in this 

 case well nigh certain. It is a 20-page monthly magazine, 

 neatly edited aud well illustrated. It is published by W. 

 T. Falconer Manufacturing Co., Jamestown, New York, 

 at 50 cents a year. 



BOOKS FOR THE APIARIST. 



Having read very many of the' books treating of api- 

 culture, both American and foreign, I can freely recom- 

 mend such a course to others. Each book has peculiar 

 excellencies, and may be read with interest and profit. 



Langstroth on the Honey Bee This treatise will ever 



remain 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 librarv, 

 and no thoughtful, studious apiarist can well be without It. 

 It is especially happy in detailing the methods of experi- 

 mentation, and in showing with what caution the true
