The Rank and File 



As well as the leaders in bee-keeping are well pleas- 

 ed with the BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. Read what 

 some of them say : 



The Review is like LippincoW s Magazine. It is a 

 digest of the best articles to be found ia the best 

 British and American magazines. The Review is 

 the cream; the kernel without the shuck. 



Atlanta, Ga. Jno. Barfokd. 



Enclosed please find 50 cts. for the Review for 

 1889. Although only a novice, I like to read some- 

 thing beyond me, instead of so many " hints to be- 

 ginners," as are found in some of the journals. 



Westboro, Mass. A. L. Phipps. 



Allow me t'i congratulate you on the very superi- 

 or character of your paper. It fills an important 

 place never before occupied; and, in my estima- 

 tion, no one interested in any pursuit can afford to 

 be without it. B. M. Hayhurst. 



Kansas City, Mo. 



The Review comes the nearest to filling the bill 

 of any thing I have seen. If you can bring each 

 succeeding volume up to the standard of the first 

 one, your fortune is made. C. J. Sackett. 



Cochecton Center, N. Y. 



If your comb honey is as bright, clean, and fresh, 

 in proportion to your experience, as is your excel- 

 lent little journal, I think white will become it as 

 well as " the sweet young girl." 



Mt. Vernon, Iowa. Oliver Foster. 



Viewed in the lights and shadows of nigh twenty 

 years of beekeeping, no twelve numbers of any 

 bee-journal have contained the amount of valuable 

 information that you have crowded into the first 

 volume of the Review. James Heddon. 



Dowagiac, Mich. 



There was no need for the Review, but you have 

 made a need for it. I should be a sincere mourner 

 at its death. Dr. C. C. Miller. 



Marengo, 111. 



Reader, send for a sample copy of the Review, 

 and judge of it yourself. Price of the Review, 50 

 cents a year. 



The Review and "The Production of Comb Hon- 

 ey "for 65 cts. For $ 1.00 the Review will be sent 

 two years, and "The Production of Comb Honey" 

 thrown in. Back numbers of the Review can be 

 furnished. Stamps taken, either U. S. or Canadian.

FOR SALE! 



I am obliged to dispose of my farm so as to be 

 nearer to my business. On this account I am also 

 obliged to sell out my bees. 1 have 56 colonies in 

 prime condition in the cellar. My surplus arrange- 

 ment, 1 think, can not be beat. Every thing 1 have 

 connected with the business is in the best possible 

 shape for practical purposes that long experience 

 could suggest. The following is a nearly complete 

 list of what 1 have to dispose of : 56 colonies bees, 

 mostly pure Italians, in 8-frame Langstroth hives; 

 88 hives filled with comb or wired foundation; 143 

 hives complete with frames, honey-boards, and 

 covers; 53 section racks, with 18 sections each, filled 

 with comb: 224 section racks, with 18 sections each, 

 filled with foundation; 89 section racks, with 18 sec- 

 tions each, empty ; 31 section racks, without sections ; 

 15 shipping cases; one Given foundation press for 

 full Langstroth frame; 50 feeders; 2 bellows smok- 

 ers; 20 lbs. foundation; one extractor; and a lot of 

 other paraphernalia, such as shipping-screens, wire 

 for frames, wire screenhouse, saws, mandrel and 

 stand, top hive, stands, cover rings for tiering up, 

 etc., etc., which are usually necessary to a complete 

 outfit in the business. The total cost of the whole 

 is not far from $1500.00; I will sell the whole lot for 

 about one-half of that. I will not sell in part, but 

 only by the lot, and I would like to have any would- 

 be purchaser come and see for himself before he 

 bargains. Certainly, a much better opportunity 

 will not present itself to one with limited means to 

 start in the business. GEORGE GRIMM, 



Jefferson, Jefferson Co., Wis.
