THE HONEY-MAKERS. By Miss 

 Margaret W. Morley. This is the story 

 of the life of the bee, told in very inter- 

 esting style — how it lives, gathers honey, 

 and all about it. While clothing the 

 general subject with an air of poetry, it 

 seems to be entirely within the limits of 

 known facts while attempting to deal 

 with them. We believe it will give all 

 thoughtful bee-keepers a greater liking 

 for their business to read it. Probably 

 it has more to do with the curious tra- 

 ditions connected with bees than any 

 other book of the kind. Price $1.50 post- 

 paid. 



THE LIFE OF THE BEE. By Maeter- 

 linck. This is a masterpiece of fine writ- 

 ing by a modern Shakespeare. The words 

 fly from the pen of this writer like sparks 

 from a blacksmith's anvil, the result be- 

 ing a glorification of the honey-bee. 

 Maeterlinck is considered by many to be 

 the finest writer now living, and any- 

 thing from him is sure to be worth read- 

 ing. He is, to a certain extent, familiar 

 with bee-keeping, but the truth about 

 bees does not interest him so much as the 

 romance of the queen and the drone and 

 the swarming instinct. The book itself 

 is well bound and beautifully printed. 

 Price $1.40 postpaid. 



THE BEE PEOPLE. A book on bees, 

 especially for children, from the pen of 

 Margaret W. Morley. Including its ele- 

 gant illustrations, it is in some respects, 

 the prettiest bee-book in existence. It 

 has 177 pages, very coarse print, the read- 

 ing being ingeniously interwoven with 

 the illustrations showing the parts of the 

 bee. The story of bee-life is told in a 

 fascinating manner, and is well calculated 

 to get the casual reader, as well as chil- 

 dren, interested in this useful insect. The 

 cuts go just enough into detail to explain 

 fully the lesson taught, without confus- 

 ing the mind with other things. We 

 think the book well "worthy a place in 

 every bee-keeper's home. Fittingly de- 

 signed cover. Price $1.50 postpaid. 



THE LORE OF THE HONEY-BEE. 

 By Tickner Edwards. A fine work for 

 those who desire an interesting book 

 about bees. Does not deal with practical 

 details, but gives valuable information 

 about bees in general. Very readable and 

 entertaining. Price $2.00 postpaid.
