From " T'he Field: 



TTTHE two thick volumes of Mr. Frank Cheshire 



are the most complete that have 



ever been pubhshed in this country. 



The first, of some 350 octavo pages, deals solely 

 with the scientific foundation of the subject, 

 namely, the anatomy, physiology, and natural 

 history of the honey-bee ; the second, of two- 

 fold size, enters into the minutiae of practical 

 management, giving the details of the formation 

 of hives and of all the apparatus employed by 

 the skilled apiarian. A work of this size and 

 exhaustive character is perhaps hardly required 

 by the mere tyro, but it should find its place in 

 the library of every advanced bee-keeper in the 

 kingdom. It is profusely illustrated by some 

 hundreds of original wood engravings by the 

 author, and may he regarded as a perfect encyclo- 

 pcedia of the subject on which it treats.
