A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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-J ournals; but, more than to all these, have I been indebted to the thousands of friends scattered far and wide, who have so kindly fiu nished 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 ABC 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. A. I. ROOT. Medina, Ohio, Nov., 1877. It is more than 14 years since the flrst edition of this work was printed. It has passed the experimental stage, and thousands of AB Cscholars 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 mv son, Ernest R., who is now assistant editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture. Som
