SPECIAI- NOTICE.-On January 1,1886, 

 the price of 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 Journal at the very 

 low price of one dollar a 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 

 188B, for $1.25. 



Those who have already subscribed for 

 any portion of next year will have the time 

 beyond January 1st doubled. These changes 

 in the mail-list type are already made. 



For $1.35 we will send the Weekly Bee 

 Journal to new suhscribers from now until 

 the end of 188(5— 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 ofHce. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Offico, County 

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

 OIBce 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 Register and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 oo 



100 colonies (220 pages). 1 "=, 



" '-OOcolonies (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 most desirable.

Honey as Food and Medicine. 



t^~ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the LeaUets " Why Eat 

 Honey " (only r,0 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphletson "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 eta. : per 

 hundred, $i.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid Jor $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 b'ee- 

 keeper who scatters them). 



" Don't Slop "—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 me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but don't stop sendiny 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. 



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 bofiks 

 where they are purchased " to sell again."

 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. 



Agents can sell the Guide and Hand- 

 Book like " hot-cakes." Send us an order 

 for five copies (with $2.50) and we will send 

 you the Weekly Bee Journal free for a 

 year. This is a rare opportunity to get the 

 Weekly Bee Journal without cost ! 1

Tlie Western World Guide and Hand- 

 Book of. Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 and the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new subscribers besides 

 their own, with :f3, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book. 



WE are now in the market, and will be 

 during the entire season, for all honey 

 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- 

 ple IS sent us, we will make the best cash 

 offer the general market will afford. We 

 will handle beeswax the same way, and can 

 furnish bee-men in quantities, crude or re- 

 fined, at lowest market prices. Mr. Jerome 

 Iwichell, our junior member in this depart- 

 ment, has full charge, which insures prompt 

 and careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of combhoney must be afull case 

 representing a fair average of the lot. On 

 such sample we will make prompt returns, 

 whether we buy or not.
