Every point connected with the subject is handled in a clear,
exhaustive, yet pithy and practical manner.--_Rural New Yorker._
It is both a practical and scientific discussion, and nothing that
could interest the bee-raiser is left unsaid.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
The most thorough work on the apiary ever published, and the only one
illustrating the various bee plants.--_Lansing_ (Mich.) _Republican_.
Prof. Cook is an entomologist, a botanist, a ready writer, a passionate
lover of the honey-bee, and his new work savors of all these
qualities.--_Standard_, New Bedford, Mass.
I feel like thanking God that we have such a man as Prof. Cook to take
hold of the subject of bee-culture in the masterly way in which he has
done it.--_Gleanings in Bee Culture._
It is a book which does credit to our calling; one that every
bee-keeper may welcome as a fit exponent of the science which gives
pleasure to all who are engaged in it.--_American Bee Journal._
The honey-bee comes with the perfume of summer flowers, and one of
its best friends, A. J. Cook, has written its history and habits in a
handsomely illustrated volume.--_American Poultry Journal._
It is just what might have been expected from the distinguished
author--a work acceptable to the ordinary bee-man, and a delight to the
student of scientific apiculture.--_Bee Keepers' Magazine._
Cook's new "Manual of the Apiary," comes with high encomiums from
America; and certainly it appears to have cut the ground from under
future book makers, for some time to come.--_British Bee Journal._
It is the most complete and practical treatise on bee-culture in Europe
or America. The arrangement is successive, and every topic is lucidly
treated in the Professor's blithesome, light-hearted, pithy, suggestive
style.--_Post and Tribune_, Detroit, Mich.
The typography and general execution of the work is handsome and neat,
and altogether we have a work that may be safely recommended as the
Manual of the Apiarist--the book, par excellence, to which all may
revert with both pleasure and profit, for instruction in the management
of the apiary.--_Michigan Farmer._
It must rank with Henderson's manuals, and share with them the praise
of being an indispensable adjunct to every specialist's library. It is
a scientific, practical book, a book of "how to do" and "why to do,"
tersely written, yet fully expressed; a book to the credit of American
literature.--_Scientific Farmer_, Boston.
