SPECIAL. NOTICE On January 1,1886, 



the price ot the Weekly Bee Journal will 

 be reduced to One Dollar a Tear. This we 

 have contemplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuing the Weekly Bee JouRN.iLatthe very 

 low price of one dollar d year. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bee Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



New subscribers will be supplied with the 

 Weekly from now until the end of the year 

 1886, for $1.25. 



Those who have already subscribed for 

 any portion of nezt year will have the time 

 beyond January 1st doubled. These changes 

 in the mail-list type are already made. 



For $1.2.5 we will send the Weekly Bee 

 Journal to new subscribers from now until 

 the end of 1885— fifteen months. Now is 

 the time to subscribe. The sooner It is done 

 the more they will get for the money. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this ofHce. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post^Offlce, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post^ 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Bees and Poultry.— But few out-door 

 pursuits go so well together as bees and 

 poultry. Give the poultry the necessary 

 attention in the morning and evening, and 

 give the bees such of the time between as 

 becomes necessary. We have made arrange- 

 ments by which we can supply the American 

 Poultry Journal (price $1.25) and the Weekly 

 Bee Journal both for $1,75 a year. This 

 is a rare opportunity to get two standard 

 papers for less than the price of one. For a 

 free sample send to the Poultry Journal. 



Any person not a subscriber, receiving a 

 copy of this paper, will please consider it 

 an invitation to become a subscriber to it. 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for ine to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; bxU don't stop sendinu it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months.'* 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so. 



SSS~ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets "Why Eat 

 Honey" (only ."jO cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a demand for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid lor $10.00; or 1,000 for $15,00. 

 On orders of 100 or more, we will print, if 

 desired, on the cover-page, "Presented by," 

 etc. (giving the name and address of the bee- 

 keeper who scatters them). 



To give away a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan- 

 tity of it. 



Preserve your papers tor reference. 

 If you have no BINDER we will mail you 

 one tor 75 cents, or you can have one free 

 if you will send us S new yearly subscrip- 

 tions for the Bee Journal. 



^^ Our rates for two or more copies of 

 the book, " Bees and Honey," may be found 

 on the Book List on the second page of this 

 paper. Also wholesale rates on all books 

 where they are purchased " to sell again." 



t^~ Sample Copies of the Bee Journal 

 will be sent free upon application. Anyone 

 intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview by sending the names to this office, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



J^~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



"We have received from the Publishers a 

 copy of a new series of Recitations, called " The 

 Eureka Recitations and Readings." It is a 

 very good collectiim and has been compiled and 

 prepared by Mrs. Anna Kandall-Diebl, whose rep- 

 utation as a writer of standard worlta on Elocution, 

 and also as a teacher of the art, is second to none. 

 They comprise Prose and Poetry— Serious, Comic 

 Humorous, Pathetic, Temperance, and Patriotic. 

 All those who are interested in providing an enter- 

 tainment should have this collection. Each one 

 contains 1128 pages, and is bound with a bandsome 

 lithograph cover printed in four colors, and will be 

 mailed to any address, postpaid, on receipt of 12 

 cents In stamps, by J. S. OOILVIE & Co., the Pub- 

 Ushers, 31 Rose St., New York.

 offered us, in any quantity, shape, or condi- 

 tion — just so it is pure. We will sell on com- 

 mission, charging 5 percent.; or, if a sam-

 offer the general market will afford. We 

 will handle beeswax the same way. and can

 ment, has full chai-ge, which insures prompt 

 and careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of comb honey must be a full case, 

 representing a fair average of the lot. On 

 such sample we wilt make prompt returns^ 

 whether we buy or not.
