 keeper than this book. It is fully Illus- 

 trated, well printed, and Is sure to please.

 ability, and are very interesting indeed, and are greatly valued by bee-keepers and 

 others for their literary merit, and the popular style in which bee-keeping is 

 depicted, and we are very glad to have the opportunity to offer them to bee-keep- 

 ers and others. The description of each work will give a fair idea of the same, 

 but a pamphlet giving an extended view of these and the practical books on bee 

 culture listed in the preceding columns will be sent on application.

final destiny of each, telling the story of 

 each in a seml-fanclful, entertaining way.

 these interesting Insects. It has 250
