p. 7PREFACETO NEW EDITION

The original “Bee-Master of Warrilow”—thatqueer little honey-coloured book of far-off days—containedbut eleven chapters: in its present edition the book has grown tomore than three times its former length, and constitutespractically a new volume.

To those who knew and loved the old “Bee-Master of Warrilow,” no apologyfor the additional chapters will be required, because it isdirectly to the solicitation of many of them that this largercollection of essays on English bee-garden life owes itsappearance.  And equally, to those who will make the oldbee-man’s acquaintance for the first time in these presentpages, little need be said.  In spite of the War, thehoney-bee remains the same mysterious, fascinating creature thatshe has ever been; and the men who live by the fruit of her toilshare with her the like changeless quality.  The Master ofWarrilow and his bees can very well be left to win their own wayinto the hearts of new readers as they did with the old.
