PEARCE METHOD OF BEE-KEEPING

THOMAS G. NEWMAN 



The American Bee Journal is the oldest and one the best periodicals 

 relating to Bee Culture. THOMAS G. NEWMAN was the Editor and for 

 many years identified with the publication of this paper and through his 

 writings has become familiar to all who are engaged in the raising of Bees. 



While Mr. Newman was never a large honey producer, the information 

 and instruction which he has furnished through the American Bee Journal 

 have been suflScient to endear him to the many who have been seeking this 

 information, and have looked to him for the knowledge to enable them 

 to carry on this work and to solve the many problems which always come 

 to those in the pursuit of any business. 



"The pen is mightier than the sword" and as such Mr. Newman was a 

 Master Mind. 



It is estimated that we are producing a railroad train-load of honey, fifty 

 miles long, in this country each year. Yet the Bee Industry is only fairly 

 begun. These four men, who have a place in our book, may well be 

 designated as the wheel horses that have done so much for our pursuit to 

 make it what it is. Others have done well and we would not detract from 

 any, but I feel sure that all will join in doing these men special hono 

 and perpetuating their memory.
