1^" When you have a leisure hour of 

 evening, why not drop in on a neighboring 

 family and see if you cannot get a subscrib- 

 er for The American Bee Journal? 



31^" For the convenience of bee-keepers, 

 we have made arrangements to supvdy, at 

 the lowest market prices. Imported or "test- 

 ed Italian Queens, full colonies, Langstroth 

 or other hives. Extractors of all the makes, 

 and anything required about the apiary. 



Jiy The only safe way to send money by 

 mail is to get the letter registered, or pro- 

 cure a money order or draft. We cannot be 

 responsible for money lost, unless these 

 precautions are taken. Then it is at our 

 risk, and if lost we will make it good to the 

 sender, but not otherwise. 



We will send a tested Italian queen to any 

 one sending us four subscribers to The 

 American Bee Journal with $8.00. This 

 premium, giving a good queen for four sub- 

 scribers, will pay any one for taking some 

 trouble to extend the circulation of the 

 Journal. Premium queens will in every 

 case be tested. 



North Eastern Bee-Keepers' Ass'n. 



The North-Eastern Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion will hold its Annual Meeting at the City 

 Hall, Syracuse, N. Y., on the 6th, 7th and 8th 

 of February, 1878. First session at 1 o'clock, 

 p. M., of the 6tli. 



Papers on important subjects are expected 

 from some of our own members, as well as 

 from eminent apiarists abroad. Among 

 those may be mentioned an essay on" Ke- 

 cently Discovered Parasites of the Honey 

 Bee, and their Connection with Successful 

 Wintering. " 



Tiie Marketing of Honey will receive 

 special attention, and it is expected that 

 initiatory steps will be taken toward sup- 

 plying each member of the Association with 

 reliable data of much importance to honey 

 producers. To secure satisfactory results, 

 a full attendance of this class is especially 

 desired. P. H. Elwood, Pres't. 



J. H. Nellis, Sec'y. 



Strangers wishing to visit our Office 



and Museum of Implements for the Apiary 

 should take the Madison street-cars, (going 

 west). They pass our door. 



1^ On page 9, of January 'No., Will 

 M. Kellogg's letter gave the location of 

 an apiary at Benton IJay, Miss. It is 

 a location on the Mississippi river four 

 miles north of Oquawka, Ills. The 

 error occurred by our printer omitting 

 the word, "River." 



IH^^We are asked whj^ we do not put a 

 notice under our advertising pages, asking 

 our readers, when giving an order, to state 

 that they saw the advertisement in The 

 American Bee Journal. There is no 

 necessity for it, as not one of our advertisers 

 is dissatisfied as to the amount of benefit 

 derived from his advertisement; indeed the 

 benefit is so perceptible that there cannot be 

 any doubt upon the subject. 



HoAV TO Winter.— Tliose who wish to 

 post up on tiie subject of wintering, will do 

 well to read Prof. Cook's essay as read be- 

 fore the National Convention of last year. — 

 It was published in the December number 

 of 1876, and has since been re-published in 

 pamphlet form, with the other essays. — 

 Price 15 cents. 



We have gotten up a "Constitution and 

 By-laws," suitable for local Associations,

 is ordered, they will have a blank left for 

 writing in the name of the association, etc. 

 A sample copy will be sent fora Sc. postage 

 stamp. 



'Many .complain of the dearth of 

 small currency, all over the country. In 

 reply to correspondents, we will say that
