SPEOIAIi NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee Journai> will 

 be reduced to One Dallar a Tear. This we 

 have conteiuplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuing* the Weekly Bee Journal at the very 

 low price of (mc ilitUar a your. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bee Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leadini? bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



New subscribers will be supplied with the 

 Weekly from now until the end of the year 

 1886, for $1.2S. 



Those who have already subscribed for 

 any portion of iie.rt year will have the time 

 beyond January 1st doubled. These changes 

 in the mail-list type are already made. 



For $1.25 we will send the Weekly Bee 

 Journal to jiew subscribers from now until 

 the end of ISSii— fourteen 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 office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name: 

 many others having no Post-Ollice, County 

 or State. Also, it you live near one post- 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Any person not a subscriber, receiving a 

 copy of this paper, will please consider it 

 an invitation to become a subscriber to it. 



t^" All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Kegister and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For .50 colonies (l-.'O pages) |1 00 



" 100 colonics ('."JO pages) 125 



" 200 colonics (-fio pages) 1,50 



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 arc therefore the most desirable.

 get the money to you within three months."
