A Great Year for Bees. 



This has been a great year for bees here ia 

 Kansas. Some of the bees have swarmed 

 again and again, and where they have had 

 the proper care they have stored from 50 to 

 150 pounds of white clover honey per colony ; 

 and we still have the fall flow to come, which, 

 at present, seems very promising. 



I have the care of 60 colonies, some of them 

 belonging to my neighbors, and I care for 

 them on shares. J. M. Christie.

Brought Up Among Bees. 



If I live to see Aug. 4th, I shall be 67 years 

 old. I was brought up among bees as a child, 

 and was with them until I came to America, 

 33 years ago. 



A friend of mine bought 7 colonies one year 

 ago, and gave them to me to be run on shares. 

 This year I have transferred all but 3, and in- 

 creased to 34, and all are doing well. I put 

 them in 8-frame hives with half sheets of 

 foundation. 



I was taught a good deal about bees and 

 their nature and ways, yet I am glad that I

To Our Regular Paid-in-Advance Subscribers. 



We have arranged with several of the best queen-breeders to supply us during 1903 with The Very Best Untestea 

 Italian Queens that they can possibly rear— well worth $1.00 each. We want every one of our present regular subscribers 

 to have at least one of these Queens. And we propose to make it easy for you to get one or more of them. 



A QUEEN FREE FOR SENDING ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER. 



In the first place, you must be a regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal, and your own subscription mus 

 be paid at least 3 months in advance. If it is not already paid up, you can send in the necessary amount to make it so 

 when you order one of these fine Queens. 



Send us $1.00 and the name (not your own) and address of One NEW subscriber for the American Bee Journal, and 

 we will mail you one of the Queens free as a premium. 



Now, go out among your bee-keeping neighbors and friends and invite them to subscribe for the old American Bee 

 Journal. If you want some to show as samples, we will mail you, for the asking, as many copies of the American 

 Bee Journal as you can use. 



Should there be no other bee-keepers near you, and you desire one of these fine Queens any way, send us $1.50 and 

 we will credit your subscription for one year and also mail you a Queen. Of course, it is understood that the amount sent 

 will pay your subscription at least one year in advance of the present time. So, if your subscription is in arrears, be sure 

 to send enough more than the $1.50 to pay all that is past due also. 



We prefer to use all of these Queens as premiums for getting new subscribers. But if any one wishes to purchase 

 them aside from the Bee Journal subscription, the prices are as follows : 

 One Queen, 75c.; 3 Queens, S2.10; 6 Queens for $4.00. 

 We are filling orders almost by return mail. 



Now for the new subscribers that you will send us — and then the 

 Queens that we will send you ! Address,
