THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



mHE Review never had more sub- 

 "T" scribers, better correspondents, 

 greater mechanical facilities, or a 

 more experienced editor; in short, it 

 was never more fully equipped, than 

 at present, for helping- bee-keepers. 

 It will use all of these advantages the 

 present year in taking up and discus- 

 sing two of 



Thi<s MosH Iiiiap)®s=tl^iail 



connected with bee-keeping, viz., the 

 production of large quantities of honey, 

 cheaply, and the selling of it at a high 

 price. The first few issues of this 

 year will be especially devoted to the 

 discussion of the first-mentioned topic, 

 then, in July or August, marketing 

 will be taken up and continued through 

 the year. I do not mean that other 

 important matters will not be touched 

 upon, but that special attention will 

 be given to these two. 



For instance, last year, Mr. F. E. 

 Atwater, of Boise, Idaho, with only 

 one helper, 



scattered from seven to eighteen miles 

 from home, and in the January Re- 

 view he had a long article describing 

 the hives, implements, and methods, 

 that enables himto accomplish this feat. 

 Mr. E. D. Townsend of Remus, 

 Michigan, is 



TS^ie Most Esteimsivl 



in this State; managing out-apiarij 

 with the least possible amount of lat 

 much of it unskilled at that, and ma 

 ing money out of the business, and i 

 is telling the readers of the Revi«| 

 "how he does it." Three articl 

 from his pen have already appeare 

 and there are three more on han 

 More will follow on marketing 

 wintering. All of his writings 

 practical; like the one in this issu 

 which shows how to have a 

 commodious, cheap house, at each ou 

 apiary, yet be able to move it with 

 trouble if it becomes necessary 

 move the apiary. 



Another correspondent, over the fin^ 

 ing of which the Review is congrab 

 lating itself, is Mr. E. W. Alexande 

 of Delanson, New York. He has hg 

 nearly

with bees. His locks are white, bd 

 his eyes are bright, his step elastij 

 and he still has the fire and enthus 

 asm of youth. The first of a series- 

 articles from his pen appears in 

 issue. His views on overstocking 

 certainly radical, and it is possibj 

 that they are not applicable in eve 

 locality, but some of the ideas that
