American Hee Journal 



George W.York 



Sandpoint, 

 (oiiiitv laano 



The above is the way to address me 

 hereafter. Soon after this number of 

 the old .American Bee Journal has been 

 mailed, Mrs. ^■ork and 1 expect to be 

 located in the beautifully situated town 

 of Sandpoint, Idaho, where I will keep 

 bees, handle bee-literature, conduct a 

 general subscription agency for maga- 

 zines and farm papers, and possibly be 

 interested in some other things. 



I am hoping that the change of cli- 

 mate from Chicago, 111., to Northern 

 Idaho ("I* miles northeast of Spokane, 

 Wasli.) will be beneficial to my health, 

 which, especially during recent winters, 

 has not been the best. 



Just as soon as possible after getting 

 settled in Sandpoint, I will prepare an 

 illustrated circular for free distribution, 

 and will be pleased to mail a copy to 

 any one requesting it. I hope to have 

 it ready by the last of this month. Any 

 of your patronage that may be turned 

 my way will be greatly appreciated, I 

 assure you. 



Although nou' at Stimipoint, Idaho, 

 instead of Chicago, 111., I am the same 

 George W. York, that so many bee- 

 keepers have known in connection 

 with the .\nierican Bee Journal for over 

 a quarter of a century.

You will be a busy 



bee if you locate 



in the Fertile 



Northwest 



Bee-Culture in the Northwest should prove sur- 

 prisingly attractive to the workers with Bees in 

 other parts of the country. 



— The great diversity of climate due to the varied 

 altitudes and topographic features, affords a wide 

 range of selection in locations, in this dry, mild, 

 and equable region. 



— The wonderfully fertile soil produces the finest 

 of clovers, alfalfa, peas, etc., so important in the 

 production of a good and pure article of honey. 

 Even the common sage-brush is noted for its value 

 in honey-production. 



— The vast acreage in orchards in the Northwest 

 should prove a strong argument to an experienced 

 bee-worker to move to this very fertile country. 

 Orchards and hives have been most profitably com- 

 bined already, in many instances. The superiority 

 of Northwestern fruit-blooms aids to produce a 

 superior quality of honey, and the bees perform a 

 reciprocal service in fruit-pollenization. 



— Nowhere are there more stable and remunerative 

 markets for good honey. The many large cities, 

 the rich mining camps, and Alaska, provide the 

 best of markets right at home, at top prices.

Missouri-Bred Queens! 



My strain of bees is the result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. I believe 

 they are equal to any. and surpassed by 

 none. They are long lived, winter well, 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey get- 

 ters. The workers are long-bodied, good- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 makenomistakein introducingthese queens 

 into yourapiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-office, and make a speciality of 

 long and dirticult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand. 

 Prices sent on application. c.\6t
