Excerpt from Scientific Queen-Rearing, as Practically Applied
Although I have given to the book the title of Scientific queen-rearing, there is much in it that is not scientific, as the reader will soon discover, and some lofty minds may pass it by in disdain 011 this account. It is not a manual, giving in terse, sharp periods, the great est amount of accurate information in the briefest space. My style, I fear, is often like my bee — yard, which in looks is irregular, while it attempts something useful. I never could be pinned down to systematic work. I always did like to work at the bees near a gooseberry-bush, full of ripe, luscious fruit, or under a harvest apple-tree, where an occasional rest could be enjoyed, eating the apples which lay so temptingly about. Do we not all need an occasional relaxation from the severer duties of life If so, the rear ing of Queens for our own apiary, gives us a change from the all-important struggle for honey, whereby we can get money.

Excerpt from Scientific Queen-Rearing, as Practically Applied: Being a Method by Which the Best of Queen-Bees Are Reared in Perfect Accord With Nature's Ways
As all bee-keepers of to-day are aware, I have given all of my best thoughts, on the subject which the desired book would cover, free to the world through our many bee papers, so, had I complied with the request made, the mat ter in the book would have been mainly that which I had written before and owing to this self-same cause, the reader will perhaps find some fault with the present work.
