SPEOIAl. NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee JonRNAL will 

 be reduced to One Dijlkw 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 

 1886, 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. 



" 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 forme to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut don't stop sending 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. 



Agents can sell the Guide and Hand- 

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

 for five copies (with $2..')0) 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 1 



The Gnlde and Hand-Book,is a book 

 of ready reference and an encyclopaedia of 

 everything desirable to know. As a guide 

 to the home-seeker, it isinvaluable. Itscon- 

 tents are partially given on page 718, and 

 will convince any one of its value. We do 

 not think any of our readers can afford to 

 do without it. As a book of ready reference 

 we find it of great value in our library. We 

 will send the Weekly Bee Journal for a 

 year and the Guide for -SL.'iO. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



tS^ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leallets "Why Eat 

 Honey" (only .'lO cents per loo), or else the 

 pamphletson "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter thcin plenlifuUy, 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 for $10.00; or 1,000 for $15,00.

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

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

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan-
