The Beekeepers' Review 



The Review is now owned and published by the beekeepers themselves; in fact, it is 

 the honey producers' own magazine, wholly devoted to their especial needs. We buy sup 

 plies for our subscribers, and help them to sell their honey without cost, there being a de- 

 partment where names of those having honey for sale are listed free of charge. Also, if you 

 liave bees for sale, there is a department where we list you without a cent's cost. If you 

 want to buy honey, there is a department where you can be listed without charge. Other 

 departments contemplative. If you have beeswax you want made into foundation, we save 

 you money on that. The fact is. the Reviews main object of existence is to help its sub- 

 scribers. .A.S we own it ourselves, why shouldn't it be ? 



We are just making a special offer to new subscribers, in as much as we are giving 

 away the last eight months of 1014 to all new subscribers for 1015. Those back numbers 

 contain many valuable contributions not found in any other publication. Just listen to a 

 few. not having space here to mention them all : Beginning with the May number Mr. Adrian 

 Getaz gives his experience on preventing swarming; size of entrance to use; home rearing 

 of queens; short cuts in finding queens and other subjects. You should read this. Then 

 there is a two-page article by Wilder, describing his management of 3ouo colonies in 50 

 yards. The fact is. there are nine articles from Mr. Wilder in those back numbers and 

 more to follow. I'hose articles are not published in any other magazine. You should read 

 them. Then there are several articles from Pearce. telling of his system of managing bees 

 in the production of comb honey without swarming, with only two visits a year. Would 

 you like to know how it is done ? Then there are field notes from Michigan. Tennessee. 

 Iowa. Colorado, telling of things done under different conditions. Those will inteiest you. 

 Then there is the Secretary's corner; there the National Secretary tells his experience, 

 and " boosts honey." These are iust a few of the good things you will receive for your dol- 

 lar by subscribing for The Review. Besides all this, you will get ALL the fine articles 

 written for the National convention at St. Louis in igi4. and during this year all the papers 

 read at the Denver meeting this month will be published in The Review, and nowhere else. 

 The Review is mighty fortunate in having so much available material in sight. You cannot 

 know too much about your business, and these 20 numbers we are offering you for a dollar 

 will help you wonderfully in your future beekeeping. Address your own paper.

Sweet Clover as a honey plant. The fact that it blooms two weeks earlier 



than the White variety makes it especially valuable to the beekeeper.
