that had appeared in the Review. So many new subjects were taken 

 up that the old title, "The Production of Comb Honey," was no 

 longer appropriate, and, as I was giving what seemed to me the best 

 and most advanced methods, I called the new book Advanced Bee 

 Culture. Two years ago, the tirst edition having been exhausted, 

 I re-wrote and revised everything necessary to bring it up to date, 

 and got out a second edition which has since been sold. The pres- 

 ent edition has been largely re-written; many engravings, much 

 new matter, and a more substantial binding, being added; thus 

 bringing the book more nearly up to the ideal that I have for several 

 years had in mind. 



Advanced Bee Culture is really the summing up of the best 

 that has appeared in the Bee-Keepers' Review during the 18 years 

 of its existence; that is, from a most careful examination of the views 

 of the most progressive men, and a thorough consideration of the 

 same in the light of my experience as a bee-keeper, I have described 

 in plain and simple language what I believe to be the most advanced 

 methods of managing bees, /or -profit, from the beginning of the 

 season throughout the entire year.
