Bee-Papers, and Books. 11 



Bee-Keepers' Magazine. — This is next to the oldest of 

 our bee papers, it is well edited and has many able 

 contributors. Its persistent efforts against adulteration 

 is specially commendable. It is edited by Aspinwall & 

 Treadwell, New. York City. 



Canadian Bee Journal. — The short life of many new 

 bee papers would make us hesitate to notice one but 

 recently started, except that the ability, enterprise, and 

 long successful experience of D. A. Jones makes failure 

 in this case well nigh impossible. Perhaps no bee 

 keeper in the world has sacrificed more in way of time 

 and money, and received less for it than the Editor of 

 this Journal. This paper starts off with the strength, 

 vigor, and accomplishment of old age. It has the able 

 support of . all the best writers and workers in apicul- 

 ture in both Canada and the United States. Add to 

 this Mr. Jones's superior ability and large and success- 

 ful experience, and what more need be said. It is edited 

 by D. A. Jones, Beeton, Ontario, Canada. 



Bee-Keepers' Guide. — This paper has been one of the 

 motive powers in the advancement of apiculture for the 

 last few years. It is edited by an experienced bee-beeper, 

 and is doing its part as one of the auxiliaries to apiarian 

 progress in our country. It is edited by A. G. Hill, Ken- 

 dallville, Indiana. 



American Apiculturist. — This, though the youngest of 

 our bee-papers, shows the vigor of manhood. Edited by 

 an experienced bee-keeper, and a trained printer, it at 

 once marches well up to the front. Its editorials are 

 able, and its articles from the most capable of American 

 apiarists. The style of the paper leaves nothing to be 

 desired. Its editor is Philip Morant & Co., Wenham, 

 Massachusetts. 



BOOKS FOB THE APIAEIST. 



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. 



Langslroth on the Honey Bee. — This treatise will ever 

 remain a classic in bee-literature. I cannot over-esti- 

 mate the benefits which I have received from the study 

 of its pages.
