There is much truth lying hid under these comical stories; still more in
the illustrations; and the notes which I have appended may be found
useful even by serious Bee-Masters.
I promise my readers that they shall have the second edition of "MY BEE
BOOK" as perfect as I can make it, and with as little delay as possible.
I trust it may be much nearer perfection than the first edition,
published under great difficulties, could be, and I hope it may have as
many purchasers as this its forerunner.
