Dr. Miller's New Book 



SENT BY RETURN MAIL. 



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 v-ork has been out of print for a number 

 of years. While some 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 COPY OF DR. MILLER'S 



"FORTYiYEARS AMONG THE BEES." 



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

 WBBKLY American Bee Journal for one year, both will be sent for SI. 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 /rf^ 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.

A STANDARD=BRED 



QUEEN-BEE FEEE 



To Our Regular Pald-lu-Advance Subscribers. 



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

 Italian Queens that they can possibly rear— well worth $1.0C 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 fl.OO 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, $2.10 ; 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, 



GEORGE W. YORK & CO., 144-146 E. ERIE ST.,^CHICAGO, ILL. 

 1^*^ 40 Tested Italian Queens at $1.00 each, as long as they last. Order quick.
