THE AMERICAN APICULTUBIST. 



A one-hundred-dollar Italian queen bee. 



Bear in mind that each subscril)er 

 to the AncuLTUKiST is entitled to 

 one of the l)e.st queens reared from 

 our one-hundred-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 saw. 



She is strictly pure, good dispo- 

 sition, and working qualities that 

 cannot be excelled by any bees in 

 the world. 



to such the Beekeepers' Advertiser 

 will be mailed. All the yearly ads. 

 which appear in the Api will be in- 

 serted iu the new paper without addi- 

 tional charge. This is one of the 

 best advertising mediums extant for 

 supply dealers. 



By this means we shall reach thou- 

 sands of beekeepers who do not read 

 any bee-paper. 



To new bee-papers. 

 The Beekekpers' Advertiser is a 

 four-[)age quarterly that will be issued 

 from the office of the Apicultuhist. 

 The first number was sent out Nov. 

 15. This paper will not be sent to 

 our subscribers as it is made up 

 largely from matter taken from the 

 Apioulturist. We get the names 

 each year of several thousand bee- 

 keepers who do not read the Api, and 



Supply dealers have found that it pays to ad- 

 vertise in thu Apk^ultuuist as our well-lilled 

 columns amply testify. We liave lound tliat ad- 

 vertisements are rea(l and f;enerally answered by 

 those who send for sample copies. We get calls 

 by each mail for liom twelve to fifty copies of the 

 API, We mail tliein at once. Besides, our friemls 

 are continually sending us names of live beekeep- 

 ers; to sucli. a specimen copy is at once mailed. 

 This IS why it pays to advertise. Hundreds of 

 new Ijeelicepers read the Afi each week. 



Individual rights to manufacture the drone- 

 and-queen trap. 



So many beekeepers desire to make the drone- 

 and queen trap that we shall offer one trap by 

 mail, and tlie right to make and manufacture theia 

 for one's own use, for the small sum of ^L.'iO. 



If any one desires to make the bee-escapes, the 

 same as is used in the traps, and tlie same things 

 as are used for bee-escapes for getting bees, 

 out of sections, we can lurnish tlie tools for $3.00 

 They can be sent by mail for 25 cents extra.
