^HE editorial on the "Pood Value of Honey," on page 

 404, of the December American Bee Journal was so 

 highly appreciated, and so many enquiries came for a re- 

 production of it in pamphlet form that there was prepared a 

 16-page booklet for advertising honey containing this and 

 other matter of importance which the consumers ought to 

 know. Size of booklet 5 3-4x9 inches. Weight a scant ounce. 

 " Facts about Honey " contains the following informa- 

 tion illustrated with 17 splendid half tones: What honey 

 is and where gathered ; Principal kinds of honey ; Differ- 

 ent flavors and colors ; How produced ; Bee-trees and bee 

 hunting ; Bees in boxes and gums ; The new way of honey 

 production ; Movable-frame hives and sections ; Comb 

 honey ; Comb foundation ; Why the bees build straight in 

 tlie section; Chunk honey; Extracted honey, the honey 

 extractor and manner of extracting; Purity of honey; 

 Granulation of honey, how to melt it ; Food value of honey ; 

 Is honey a luxury ; Honey as health food ; Uses in cook- 

 ing; Fifty recipes for use of honey. 



On the last page room enough is left to print the beekeeper's name and the prices he 

 asks for his honey. Or the address may be printed on the front cover page. At the bottom 

 of the last page there is also room to address the booklet to the consumer, after folding it so 

 that no envelope is needed. A gummed " Eat Honey" label or wire clasp is sufficient to hold 

 it together for mailing.

 unbiased and clear explanation of the usefulness of honey, intended for a reply to the numer- 

 ous questions usually asked by the uninformed consumer. Send your orders to
