BEES and BEE-KEEPING. By the 'Times Beemaster.' A Manual for all who Keep, or wish to Keep, Bees. With numerous Illustrations. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s.

"Few letters that have appeared in these columns have been more popular than those addressed to us by the Beemaster. We do not wish to detract from this praise in saying that they were popular because the subject is popular. Bees have always been interesting to mankind, and no man of ordinary intelligence can describe in any detail their natural history without unfolding a little romance—a kind of fairy annals, that fills us with wonder and insures our attention. But our friend the Beemaster has the knack of exposition, and knows how to tell a story well; over and above which, he tells a story so that thousands can take a practical and not merely a speculative interest in it."—Times.
