NOTE TO TEE SECOND EDITION. The author gratefully acknowledges the many fa- vourable notices of the first edition of this book by the press, and the kindly reception it met with from the hee-loving community. More gratifying still are the statements and evi- dences of private letters to the author. Hundreds of apiarians, in all positions of society, are now masters of the art of bee-keeping, and are successfully prac- tising the system of management unfolded in the pages of this work. He trusts that this edition will he found as useful as the first, in giving its readers a firm grasp of the subject; and that it will encourage all who are seek- ing profit or honey from bee-keeping, to carry into practice most of its lessons. Sale, Cheshire, 8th February 1875.
