A Celluloid Queen-Button is a very 

 pretty thing lor a bee-keeper or honey-seller to 

 wear on his coat-lapel. It of- 

 ten serves to introduce the 

 subject of honey, and fre- 

 quently leads to a sale. 



The picture shown herewith 

 is a reproduction of a motto 

 queen-button that we are fur- 

 nishing to bee-keepers. Ithas 

 _, a pin on the underside to 



fasten it. Price, by mall, (. cents; two for 10c; 

 or 6 for 25 cents. Send all orders to the office 

 of the American Bee Journal. 



200 Nuclei with 

 Red Cl over Italian Q ueens 



Ready for Immediate Delivery. 



We have arranged with a bee-keeper having a large 

 apiary adjoining Chicago, to furnish us with Nuclei, each 

 having a Red Clover Queen reared from one of Root's 

 specially selected Red Clover Breeding Queens. They will 

 be shipped direct from the apiary at these prices, cash with 

 the order : 



One 3-frame Nucleus with queen, $3.50 ; 5 or more at 

 $3.00 each — on standard Langstroth frames in light ship- 

 ping-boxes. 



Or, we can furnish these Nuclei in 8-frame hives con- 

 taining 3 extra brood-combs and 2 extra frames with foun- 

 dation starters, at these prices : 



One Nucleus for $4.50 ; or 5 at $4.00 each. 



With a good fall honey-flow these Nuclei can easily be 

 built up into good, strong colonies for wintering.

Dr. Miller's New Book 



SENT BY RETURN NAIL. 



The book contains 328 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with gold 

 letters and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 over 100 beautiful original half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. 

 It is unique in this regard. 



The first few pages of the new book are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he happened to get into 

 bee-keeping. Seventeen years ago he wrote a small book, called "A Year 

 Among the Bees," but that little work has been out of print for a number 

 of years. While soflie of the matter used in the former book is found in 

 the new one, it all reads like a good new story of successful bee-keep- 

 ing by one of the masters, and shows in minutest detail just how Dr. Mil- 

 ler does things with bees. 



HOW TO GET A COPT OF DR. MILLER'S 



"FORTY YEARS AMONG THE BEES." 



The price of this new book is $1.00, post-paid ; or, if taken with the 

 WBSKLY American Bee Journal for one year, both will be sent for $1.75. 



Or, any present regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal 

 whose subscription is paid in advance, can have a copy of Dr. Miller's new 

 book free as a premium for sending us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year with $2.00. This is a magnificent offer, and should 

 be taken advantage of at once. For many of our readers it is not only an 

 easy way to earn a copy of the book, but at the same time they will be 

 helping to extend the subscription list of the old American Bee Journal, 

 and thus aiding also in spreading the best kind of apicultural information 

 among those who would be successful bee-keepers.
