PREFACE 
I N 1895 there was begun, in the American 
Bee Journal, a department of “Questions and 
Answers,” with Doctor C. C. Miller in charge, 
the object being to give information to readers 
on special subjects, perplexing to the beekeeper, 
and not specifically covered by the different bee 
literature. 
In the twenty-two years that Doctor Miller 
has answered these queries of subscribers (he is 
still conducting this department) almost every 
subject in beekeeping has been touched. His 
wide experience, his inimitable style, and the 
clearness with which he writes have made these 
answers invaluable. 
The present volume is a compilation of a 
thousand questions, culled out of many thou- 
sands and arranged in alphabetical order for 
convenience. Its object is not to supplant ex- 
isting text-books on beekeeping, but rather to 
supplement them.
