Practical Queen Rearing

BY FRANK C. PELLETT

In preparation for this book Mr. Pellett visited many of America’s foremost beekeepers and queen breeders, both north and south and has described their methods fully.

The methods of the older queen-breeders and writers, Alley, Doolittle and others, are explained with the variations which are the development of later years.

Simple methods of rearing a few queens in a small apiary, as well as methods used for rearing queens in wholesale quantity, make the book valuable alike to the ordinary beekeeper and commercial queen breeder.

AMERICAN HONEY PLANTS

BY FRANK C. PELLETT

The first book in the English language on the subject of honey plants

This book is the result of years of study and visits to important honey producing sections, from New England to California, and from Canada to Florida and Texas.

An authoritative book by an expert beekeeper and reliable naturalist. Profusely illustrated with original photographs.

300 large pages, 155 fine illustrations, cloth bound. Price $2.50

OUTAPIARIES

BY M. G. DADANT

A clear and concise explanation of the requirements for proper placing, arranging and managing of outapiaries.

Too many beekeepers expand into outapiary beekeeping without fundamental knowledge of its requirements. The result is that apiaries are often located improperly and have to be moved after the errors are discovered by costly experience.

Special chapters are devoted to apiary sites, basis of placing the apiary, systems of management, moving, autos and trucks, honey houses and equipment, and treatment of apiary during different seasons of the year, with special apparatus used by large beekeepers.

This book is especially valuable to the beginning outapiarist, but will contain many items of value to the experienced outyard man.

The book is cloth bound, has 125 pages and 50 illustrations, and is printed on fine paper. Price $1.00.
