Mr. Mace is one of the best-known bee-masters in England,

and his Modern Bee-Keeping (Modern Bee-Keeping, Harlow, Essex. 5s.) is a work which will claim the attention of apiarists, for it is thoroughly practical and up to date, both as to the management of the hives and the marketing of their produce. There is much also to interest the general reader, as for instance the story of a tit that snapped up bees as they left the hive, neatly extracted their stings, and ate them up. There is a useful supplement, giving a list of Beekeepers' Associations.
