Excerpt from The ABC of Bee Culture In preparing this work I have been much indebted to the books of Langstroth, Quinby, Prof. Cook, King, and some others, as well as to all the Bee-Journals; but, more than to all these, have I been indebted to the thousands of friends scattered far and wide, who have so kindly furnished the fullest particulars in regard to all the new improvements, as they have come up, in our beloved branch of rural industry. Those who questioned me so much, a few years ago are now repaying by giving me such long kind letters in answer to any inquiry I may happen to make, that I often feel ashamed to think what meager answers I have been obliged to give them under similar circumstances. A great part of this A B C book is really the work of the people, and the task that devolves on me is to collect, condense, verify, and utilize, what has been scattered through thousands of letters, for years past. My own apiary has been greatly devoted to carefully testing each new device, invention, or process, as it came up; the task has been a very pleasant one; and if the perusal of the following pages affords you as much pleasure, I shall feel amply repaid. It is more than 14 years since the first edition of this work was printed. It has passed the experimental stage, and thousands of A B C scholars have reported success, simply from following the instructions given in the body of the work. This edition numbers the 52d thousand; and so great has been the call for it that we have felt warranted in giving it frequent revisions. The present edition is not only enlarged, and illustrated with many new and beautiful engravings, but it has received a careful and most thorough revision. In consequence of overwork and ill health, this work, for the past few years, has devolved upon my son, Ernest R., who is now assistant editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture. Some subjects he has re-written, and to others he has made additions and alterations as the spirit of advancement in apiculture seemed to demand, all of which was subject to my approval. As lie has made so many additions, it may be interesting to the reader to know what subjects were written by him and what by myself. The new subjects, and some of the old ones that he has almost entirely, and in most cases entirely re-written, are as follows: Chapman Honey-plant; Comb Foundation; Comb Honey; Contraction; Fairs; Feeding and Feeders; Fixed Frames; Foul Brood; Frames, How to Manipulate; Hive-making; Introducing Queens; Moving Bees; Record-keeping of Hives; Reversing; Smokers; Spacing Frames; Veils; Wintering. The subjects to which he has made large additions are these: Alighting-boards; Alsike; Apiary; Basswood; Buying Bees; Candy for Bees; Clover; Drones; Extracted Honey; Extractors; Out-apiaries; Queens; Queen-rearing; Robbing; Stings; Swarming; Transferring; Wax. The remaining subjects were originally written by myself, and have been retained essentially as they appeared in the first edition of 1877. Doolittle's comments in back part of the work have been entirely revised for this last edition. The 37th and 52d thousandth edition was carefully read and revised by Dr. C. C. Miller, of Marengo, Ill., an extensive bee-keeper, and a proof reader besides. The subject of Honey-plants, Out-apiaries, and the biographical sketches in the latter portion of the work, are from his pen.

Excerpt from Advanced Bee-Culture, Its Methods and Management In reply to the query, "What will best mix with bee-keeping?" I have always replied: "Some more bees." When the conditions arc favorable, I am decidedly in favor of bee-keeping: as a specialty - of dropping: all other hampering: pursuits, and turning: the whole capital, time and energies into bee-keeping. If beekeeping-cannot be made profitable as a specialty, then it is unprofitable as a subsidary pursuit. If bee-keeping must be propped up with some other pursuit, then we better throw away bee-keeping, and keep the prop. General farming is very poorly adapted for combining with beekeeping, yet the attempt is probably made oftener than with any other pursuit. There are critical times in bee-keeping that will brook no delay, when three or four days or a week's neglect may mean the loss of a crop; and these times come right in the height of the season, when the farmer is the busiest. Leaving the team and reaper standing idle in the back field while the farmer goes to the house to hive bees, is neither pleasant nor profitable. Drawing in a field of hay, while the bees lie idle because the honey has not been extracted to give them store-room, is another illustration of the conditions with which the farmer-bee-keeper has to contend. The serious part of it is that the honey thus lost may be worth nearly or quite as much as the hay that is saved. Some special lines of rural pursuits, like winter-dairying or the raising of grapes, or winter-apples, unite with bee-keeping to much better advantage than general farming; but when bee-keeping is capable of absorbing all of the capital, time and energy that a man can put into it, why divide these resources with some other pursuit? It has been said that bee-keeping is a precarious pursuit, that it cannot be depended upon, alone, to furnish a livelihood; and, for this reason, it should be joined with some business of a more stable character.

Excerpt from Bee-Culture The advice here given, though it concerns chiefly beginners who contemplate taking up bee-culture as a business, applies also to those who merely wish to keep a few hives of bees as a hobby and to work them successfully. Any person may become a beekeeper, but to become a bee-master the aspirant must possess more than an ordinary share of patience and perseverance, and also be prepared to give the subject of bee-culture his most careful study. He should be discerning and resourceful, have good judgment, with keen insight to anticipate and be swift to take advantage of all circumstances likely to lead to success - in-short, he should possess just such qualities as would contribute to his prosperity in any line of life. Procrastination is a serious imperfection under all circumstances, and especially so in bee-culture: bee-work cannot be put off without great loss; it must be done when needed; in fact, it should be anticipated - a bee - master always keeps a little ahead of his bees. It must be distinctly understood that successful bee-farming cannot be carried on without a good deal of work and close application, but, as the work to a bee-master is both interesting and congenial, it is never irksome. All bee-masters are enthusiasts in their calling; hence, in a great measure, their success. It may be said of those adapted for bee keeping that once a beekeeper always a beekeeper, for about the work there is undoubtedly, in spite of the stings, a charm which, once experienced, never loses its attractions. Bee-culture is a rapidly progressive industry; new methods and appliances are constantly coming to the front, and things that are new to-day may be Obsolete to-morrow. It therefore behoves the beekeeper to keep himself posted in everything going on in the beekeeping world through the excellent bee literature now at command.

Excerpt from The Apiary: Or, Beehives, and Bee Culture HE present issue of our handbook may be fairly said' to be really a new work. Not that the greater portion of it has been consecutively re written, nor yet that the larger half of the former matter has wholly disappeared; but the additions of entirely new sections and half-sections, the transpositions with a view to facilitating reference, the erasures of what is either out of date or only repetition-in short, the thorough over hauling of the text from beginning to end - are such as to render the form in which it is now presented a new book rather than an ordinary fresh edition. First as to our own department, the practical appliances. The descriptions of several-hives and apparatus that have gone out of use have been removed to make room for the much larger number of new and improved inventions.

Excerpt from The Beginner in Bee Culture Since the introduction of the bar frame hive, many scientific as well as practical apiarists have made a close study of bee-keeping, contributing Opinions which it behoves us to consider carefully. It is not suggested that, to be successful, the apiarist should necessarily be a scientist, but it is intended rather to stress the advantage to be derived from associating with practical experience a sound knowledge of the main principles of apiculture. As in other activities, the start Is all-important. A start in the wrong direction leads to all scrts of troubles, and in no case is this better instanced than where the beginner purchases bees 1n any odd-sized hives, thus inaugurating an any old way system at the opposite pole to any which characterise profitable modern bee-keeping. Five well-hived colonies containing a fair breed of bees will with ordinary attention, equal thirty Of the kept any way sort, so far as production is concerned. Surely then it is easier to attend to five hives than thirty? It is quality, not number, that counts, and the beginner's first aim should be to keep bees the right way. A very comfortable living can be made from apiculture, providing the apiarist will properly qualify himself to become a producer. The three main things are experience, locality, and energy. Small apiaries can be profitably worked as a side line with other industries, providing time can be found for ordinary attention during the season.
