Vili PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITIONS 



boxes, jars, and packages best suited to the market, are of such import- 

 ance that we now issue 



THE NEW BEE-KEEPERS* TEXT BOOK, 



in which all that is good in the old book is retained; that which has been 

 out-grown, left out; and additions made, covering the full use of all im" 

 provements in bee-keeping so as to secure the very best results. 



We confidently commend the "New Bee-keepers' Text Book" to all 

 lovers of nature and all interested in this industry. 



The beginner will find in it just such information and guidance as 

 he daily needs, and the advanced apiarian will find it a useful hand- 

 book and companion. 



New York, June 20th, 1878.
