. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. mi Advanced. Bee Culture IS a book of nearly 100 pages (the size of the Re- view ) that I wrote and published in 1891 ; and I will tell you how I ^fathered the information that it contains. For 15 years I was a practical bee - keeper, producing- tons of both comb and extracted honey; rearing and selling thousands of queens, reading all of the bee books and journals, attending conventions and fairs, visiting bee - keepers, etc., etc. Then I began publishing the Review, and, for several j-ears, each issue was devoted to the discussion of some special topic ; the best bee-keepers of the country giving their views and experience. Advanced Bep: Culture is reall}" the summing up of these first few j-ears of spe- cial ^:^^c numbers of the Review ; that is, from a most careful examination of the views of the most progres- sive men, and a thorough consideration of the same in the light of my experience as a bee -keeper, I have de- scribed in plain and simple language what I believe to be the most advanced methods of managing an apiary, for profit^ from the beginning of the season through the entire year. The book is illustrated, nicely print- ed, and neatly bound in thick, heavy paper of such a color and so printed that it resembles a sheet of queen- excluding zinc. Price of the book, 50 cts.; the Re- view one year and the book for only $ W. Z. Hutchinson, Flint, Mich. 3j.
