THE scope of this little work by a practical bee keeper is sufficiently indicated by its title, and the bulk of its contents has already appeared in the British Bee Journal and the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine. There is a coloured frontispiece repre senting the queen and worker of the Golden Italian bee, and there are numerous text-illustrations of no remarkable excellence After a chapter on queen-rearing in nature, several chapters are devoted to the best artificial means of securing a supply of queens for multiplying or improving bee-colonies; and a brief account is given of different races called the Italian (or Ligurian) Bee, the Golden Italian Bee, and Carniolan Bee, and the Cyprian Bee. In a later chapter Mr. Sladen remarks that when vibrating their wings, and especially when swarming, bees produce a peculiar tune which has been supposed to attract their comrades; but the author thinks the attraction is at least partly due to a powerful scent emitted when a membrane situated between the fifth and sixth dorsal segments of the abdomen is exposed. This is fully described and figured. Short chapters on the honey bees of India (Apis dorsata, florea, and indica), and on enemies of bees in South Africa; “Bee Pirates” (sandwasps belonging to the genera Palarus and Philanthus), a Tachinide parasite in the abdomen; and a species of Chelifer conclude the work.Queen-Rearing in England, and Notes on a Scent-producing Organ in the Abdomen of the Worker-Bee, the Honey-Bees of India, and Enemies of the Bee in South Africa.By F. W. L. Sladen. (Houlston and Sons, 1905.)
