A Living From Bees | by Frank C. Pellett: This book is the result of a lifetime association with the bees. First there was a childhood when an indulgent beekeeping grandfather lived close by the author's home, thus permitting an early acquaintance with the ways of the honey producer.

Following this came service as the first State Apiarist of Iowa and then association with the American Bee Journal as managing editor. In recent years as Field Editor of that magazine the author has had opportunity to visit most of the important honey producing areas on this continent and to form personal acquaintance with hundreds of the most successful beekeepers.

First Aid to Amateur Beekeepers | by Henry Perkins: The subject matter of this little book is especially intended to meet the needs of the amateur or would-be amateur who is casting about for the best means at hand to try his or her luck at beekeeping. It is especially dedicated to the amateur beekeepers of the Pacific slope and therefore contemplates conditions to be met with in this region. It is quite impossible in a work of only forty-eight small pages to more than briefly touch upon the more salient points. Bee culture is a subject upon which many volumes have been written and one which has absorbed the attention and study of some of the world's greatest scholars and profoundest thinkers. So I will ramble along from point to point going just deeply enough here and there to give my readers some idea of the breadth and scope of the industry also to enable them to, in a measure, appraise the adaptability of their circumstances and location to the venture. Beekeeping on a small scale is neither an expensive hobby nor a danger to the community if conducted with proper knowledge and precaution. Many owners of small apiaries find it a fascinating and profitable pastime.
