M.VNY POINTS FKOM THE API. 



Unionville, Mo. 

 MiJ. Ai.lky: I set many points from the 

 API tliat are valuable to me. Although 

 three other bee-papers visit me regularly,

 than all the rest. 



E. F. QUIGLEY. 



ONLY ONE POOR QUKEN. 



San Buena, Cal 

 Mr Alley : Herewith And cash for half- 

 dozen queens from your $100 queeu. We 

 have had a good many queens from your 

 apiary and but one inferior one.

Tlie following is from one of the best 

 writers on bee culture and a successful 

 beekeeper. 



WHAT IS said of the APICULTURIST. 



"Plea.^e send to the above address a 

 sample eopv of the Api. He wanted me 

 to name tlie best bee-paper." 



Another beekeeper and an old vet- 

 eran in the Rebellion writes as follows : 



"I am taking three bee-papers beside liie 

 Api and mu^t say of all the bee journals I 

 have read the Api comes most direct and 

 gives the clearest ideas in the fewest 

 words and is the most reliable." 



OUR HUNDRED-DOLLAR ITALIAN QUKEN 

 ESF 



Bear ill miiid thateachsnbsci'iher 

 to the AncuLTUKiST is entitled to 

 one of the I)est queens reared from 

 our one-huiidred-doUar queen, by 

 remitting seventy-five cents when 

 the queen is wanted. 



This queen now has one of the 

 finest colonies of bees we ever sa\V 



She is strictly pure, good dispo- 

 sition, and woikiiig qiudities that 

 cannot I)e excelled by any bees in 

 the world. 



ALL THIS FOR ONE DOLLAR AND 

 T \V I<:NT Y-Fl V E CE N TS . 



Desiring to increase the subscription 

 list of the xA.i\iERiCAN Aficultuuist, we 

 make the following unusual liberal offer : 

 We will mail the above paper from Dec. 

 I, 1890 to Jan. I, 1892, and to each sub- 

 scriber will be mailed one copy of our 

 new book on Queen-rearing^ ''Thirty 

 Years Among the Bees, also a copy of 

 the Beekeepers' Directory., all for the 

 small sum of $1.25, Here are 350 

 pages of solid, practical facts concern- 

 ing bee culture, at a cost per page of 

 less than } of a cent. 



The two books contain all the infor- 

 mation on beekeeping anyone need pos- 

 sess from purchasing the first colony of 

 bees to producing honey by tons and 

 rearing queens by the thousands. Ev- 

 ery part of bee culture is treated in a 

 practical and thorougli manner by one 

 who has had thirty years' experience in 

 beekeeping. 



The APICULTURIST has been issued 

 monthly the past eight years and is con- 

 sidered by competent and experienced 

 beekeepers as one of the most practical 

 publications devoted to bee culture. 



THIRTY YEARS AMONG THE BEIiS. 

 Below is given A. I. Root's opinion of 

 this book : 



"This is the tide of a new, book, 

 written by Henry Alley, of Wenham, 

 Mass. It contains 80 large pages, and 

 is full of good things. Jn fact, we are 

 ashamed to say we did not even know 

 that friend Alley had got his queen- 

 rearing down to such perfection, for this 

 is what the new book deals with princi- 

 pally. 



Toward the end of the book there 

 are a great many good things ; for in- 

 stance, how to find a fertile queen ; how 

 to warm a small bee room economically ; 

 best fuel for smokers, and several other 

 items that smack pretty strongly of long 

 experience."
