. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. The Authoritative Manual <»n Apiculture The A B C and X Y Z of BEE CULTURE The combined editions of this wonderful book now ag- gregate over 160,000 copies sold. This volume contains more than twice the data that are contained in any other work on apiculture; printed in four languages, proving the popularity as an authority on the subject of j^v piculture. The ABC and X Y Z of Bee Culture will save you many times its cost by avoiding the expensive mistan-es you would make without the help of a good text-book on the subject. It is the most widely read work on apiculture in the world, and a never failing encyclopedia of information for the professional and amateur beekeeper alike From the very beginning the ABC book seems to have filled a long- felt want. The first edition, a modest one of 2,000 copies, was soon ex- hausted. Another edition was soon called for, until it became necessary to print 5,000 copies instead oi : then 10,000 at a time, and finally 15,000 as we now do. This last edition (1913) was entirely reset from cover to cover, and nhis made it possible for the revisers to make more extensive revisions and additions than was ever before attempted. Many of the pictures were taken by the author and reviser himself while making extensive trips covering a wide range of territory. A vast amount of valuable data has been gathered in this way, and incorporated into the ABC and X Y Z of Bee Culture. The new power-driven extractors are amply illustrated and described; the subject of diseases of bees is given special prominence; laws relating to bees are for the first time given full treatment in the American edition. No other book treats of this very important subject. Honey, sugar, nectar and glucose, written by a United States government chemist, are care- fully defined in accordance with our new pure-food laws. There is scarcely a practical device known to beekeepers anywhere but that is described in these books.
