looks than to hold honey, and some 

 of the old " honest Johns " will not 

 be slow in comparing^ weig:hts with 

 them. Honesty is the best policy if a 

 man wants to hold his home market 

 sure. 



I think Mr. Hasty is often too hasty. 

 What suits one locality does not suit 

 another. Like the tariff, some want 

 high, some want low, and some none. 

 Some want large hives, some small ; 

 some want side room to store in, some 

 top. Give me a hive that my bees can 

 increase in, and give them room on top 

 as fast as they need it, and not a day 

 faster. Wm. Cleary.

Bees In Good Condition. 



My bees are in good condition. I 

 carried '2 colonies into the cellar the 

 first of December. They were all good 

 and heavy. Henry Brickhr.

The Pennsylvania Bee-Keepers' 

 Association. 



On page 554 of the issue for Dec. 22 

 I find a report of the first annual con- 

 vention of the Pennsylvania State 

 Bee Keepers' Association. I find in 

 Volume XI, pages 108 and 109, that the 

 Pennsylvania Bee-Keepers* Associa- 

 tion was organized in the city of Erie, 

 Oct. 1, 1873, at the time of the State 

 Fair. The oflicers elected for the first 

 year, and who took their respective 

 offices at once were : President, Seth 



Langstroth on the 

 ^^^ Honey-Bee 



Revised by Dadant— Latest Edition. 



This'^is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so weU- 

 known to all the readers of tlie Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by foUowing the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year— both for $2.00 ; or, we will 

 ma.il it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year, with $3.00. 



This is a splendid chance to get a 

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work.
