 Index 



This is a charmingly writ- 

 ten manual, the first purpose 

 of which is to show the un- 

 initiated what they are miss- 

 ing by not joining the ranks 

 of bee-keepers. The outfit, 

 first steps, and methods are 

 given clearly and in detail; 

 and the author's well-known 

 literary ability has com- 

 bined with her enthusiasm for the subject to produce a very unusual volume. 



Many photographic illustrations, net, $1.00. (Postage TO cents)
