We Iiive enraptured— tliou'rt here, O June ! 

 All fragrant with ilie odor of thy roses. 



Father I^angstrotli— the "grand 

 old man" of American apiculture — as 

 noticed on page 635, is again freed from 

 his sad brain-troubles, and in a letter 

 received a few days ago, he promises 

 soon to write for all his b^e-friends an 

 account of his affliction. Every one 

 interested in modern bee-keeping will be 

 delighted to learn of this improvement 

 in Father Langstroth's health, and will 

 read with delight anything from his 

 able pen, which, for so long a time, has 

 been silent. We announce this in ad- 

 vance, so that our readers may be sure 

 to look for and read his articles, a num- 

 ber of which he intends writing for 

 publication in the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, upon topics of interest to bee- 

 keepers. 



IMPORXAXX NOTICE. 



We have this day sold the American

 George W. York & Co., who will con- 

 tinue its publication, as heretofore, at 

 the same location, and we commend 

 them to all our friends, bespeaking for 

 them a continuation of that liberal 

 patronage so long bestowed upon us. 

 They will fill all unexpired contracts, 

 and receive all subscriptions now due.

Editorial Comments. 



Owing to failing health, it has been 

 deemed advisable for us to be relieved of 

 the labor and worry consequent upon 

 the manage'ment of the American Bee 

 JouRNAJL, and hence the change an- 

 nounced above. We shall, however, 

 continue our Interest in the pursuit, and 

 in an editorial capacity to give advice 

 and counsel — but shall be relieved from 

 financial responsibility, which is no 

 small matter in a Weekly Bee Journal, 

 with a world-wide circulation and in- 

 fluence. 



The policy of the Bee Journal will 

 be unchanged, but- its influence will no 

 doubt be extended, for Mr. George W. 

 York, the head of the new firm, is an 

 educated young man, and full of vigor ; 

 he is a good writer, and has earijed a 

 noble reputation for honor and integrity. 

 He is also a practical printer, and hav- 

 ing been our valued assistant for the 

 past eight years, is fully competent to 

 so manage the Bee Journal in the 

 future that it will lose none of its repu- 

 tation for punctuality and general typo- 

 graphical excellence. In fact, it could 

 not have been committed to more com- 

 petent and worthy hands. Let all give 

 a cordial welcome, and a generous 

 support. 



Short biographical sketches are now 

 quite popular in apiarian circles, and 

 help much to make all feel better ac- 

 quainted with one another. We, there- 

 fore, have much pleasure in presenting 

 to oiir many readers the following con-
