QUINBYS MYSTERIES OF BEE-KEEPING. 



This is a plain, sensible treatise, written by one of America's 

 most successful bee-keepers. The work has just been revised 

 by L. C. Root, who has fully maintained its excellent charac-

 quisitions, and frequent quotations and references to practical 

 and scientific writers on bees and bee-keeping, both ancient 

 and modern, that the writers were men of extensive reading
