The Beekeepers' Review 

 Announcement for 1917 



Mr. Floyd Markham now holds the gold 

 medal, being offered by the Michigan State 

 Beekeepers' Assocation for the best honey 

 produced in the State. This medal has now 

 been won for the second time by Mr. Mark- 

 ham at our last convention. Mr. Markham 

 also won all the first prizes on both comb 

 and extracted honey at the Michigan State 

 Fair at Detroit this year. Mr. Markham is 

 without a doubt the World's champion 

 comb honey producer. How much would it 

 be worth to you. Mr. Comb Honey Producer, 

 to call at Ypsilanti and ask Mr. Markham all 

 about how he produces so much better 

 comb honey than the average beekeeper? 

 It would likely be worth a hundred dollars 

 to you during;the few years to come; the in- 

 formation you would gel on such a visit. 

 You can get it all for a dollar by subscribing 

 for The Review for igi7. for Mr. Markham 

 will write twelve articles for the twelve 

 numbers of The Review during 1017. telling 

 the entire procedure of securing the exhibi- 

 tion honey. None who aspire to greater 

 things in beedom should fail to read how 

 Mr. .Markham accomplishes such results. 



Mr. J. E. Crane is no stranger to the bee- 

 keeping fraternity. He has written much 

 at different times relative to his method of 

 beekeeping. "We consider ourselves fortu- 

 nate in securing Mr. Crane to write twelve 

 articles for The Review for the year 1017. 

 covering the entire season with the bees. 

 Mr. Crane's 40 years among the bees, as he 

 will write it up for The Review will be 

 mighty in teres ting reading in a book it would 

 readily sell for a dollar. You will get this 

 interesting series, including many other 

 features by subscribing for The Review for 

 1017. 



E. D. Townsend. now owner of The Bee- 

 keepers' Review, used to produce comb 



honey on Quite a large scale. He originated 

 the system now known as " producing both 

 comb and extracted honey in the same su- 

 per." This system if properly carried out is 

 one of the very best systems of comb-honey 

 production that has been brought to light. 

 The Editor of The Review has run large 

 apiaries on this system of producing comb 

 honey WITH ONLY 12°., OF THE COLO- 

 NIES IN THE ENTIRE APIARY S'WARM- 

 ING. An ideal system for outyard work for 

 comb honey. The Editor of The Review 

 will write up this entire system of produc- 

 ing both comb and extracted honey in the 

 same super for the pages of The Review for 

 IQ17. This seiies of articles alone ought to 

 be worth many times the cost of The Re- 

 view for a year. 



Space forbids us mentioningother valua- 

 ble contributions that will appear in The 

 Review for 1017. 



We will mention at this time that we are 

 making arrangements with several of our 

 very best honey producers to furnish us 

 material for The Review written FROM 

 ACTUAL EXPERIENCE of several years 

 standing, We will mention just one more 

 of our IQ17 correspondents who has 400 colo- 

 nies of bees. He works the entire 400 colo- 

 nies for extracted honey alone, in about 100 

 days, doing the work alone and securing 

 very favorable crops. This party also sells 

 his honey all in his home market at a price 

 much above what is usually secured by pro- 

 ducers. There will oe many more valuable 

 articles in The Review for 1Q17. including 

 all the valuable papers read at the National 

 Convention at Madison. Wis., next Febru- 

 ary. We hope there will be none of the 

 readers of the American Bee Journal so 

 short sighted as to miss sending in his dollar 

 for The Review for 1017. Address.
