THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER.

WHAT OTHERS SAY OF US. 



To show our friends how favorably 

 we have been welcomed we print a few 

 of the many flattering notices which 

 we have received : 



"The American Bee-Keeper is beauti- 

 fully gotten up" — Dr. Miller, in Gleanings. 



" It is a credit to the printer. Contains 

 well-written articles from experienced api- 

 arists." — American Apicidturist. 



" It is as bright as a new halt' dollar which 

 is its price per year." — Nebraska Bee-Keeper. 



"It presents a very attractive appear- 

 ance." — White Mountain Apiarist. 



" It is well published and well gotten 

 up." — Bee -Keepers' Guide. 



' As bright as a silver dollar, and full of 

 good things." — Bee World. 



" The second number comes out like the 

 first with the vigor of age." — Gleanings. 



" Am so well pleased with it that you may 

 put me down for two years subscription." — 

 G. M. Doolittle. 



" It had "success" stamped upon its first 

 issue." — Review. 



We have enough more to fill a dozen 

 columns. 



The fact that every bee-keeper should 

 take at least one first-class bee-paper or 

 magazine provesitself to us almost daily. 

 The careful reader of such always ord- 

 ers his supplies in a much more com- 

 prehensive manner, and is more sure to 

 know just what he wants, and thussaves 

 what he might otherwise have spent for 

 articles of little use to him. Then, too, 

 he keeps posted on the value ef his 

 honey and bees- wax. Only a few days 

 ago we heard of a man who sold nearly 

 200 lbs. of good bees-wax for only 20c 

 a pound, just two-thirds of what it was 

 worth, or §20.00 less than we would 

 have paid him for it. Do you suppose 

 he took a bee-paper? Well, if he did, 

 he didn't read it. 



Jacob T. Timpe, of Grand Ledge, 

 Mich., offers to give a years subscrip- 

 tion aud 5 eyes of his new seedling po- 

 tatoes to all who will send him 55c to 

 pay for this magazine and postage, etc., 

 on the potato eyes. With it he will 

 also give you a chance on his nuclei 

 for largest potato, and also chance on 

 nuclei for naming that variety. See 

 his advertisement in another column. 



We are anxious to retain on our sub- 

 scription list the names of all the old 

 su bscribers to the Bee Hive and A dvance, 

 we therefore will be glad to receive 

 your renewals promptly. Remittances 

 can be sent in postage stamps as we 

 use over $1,000.00 worth every year. 

 AVe are sure you will find the Bee- 

 Keeper very much of an improvement 

 over either of the above papers, and it 

 has come to stay. We promise every 

 subscriber that we will refund the en- 

 tire amount of his subscription in case 

 we cease its publication within three 

 years, so do not be afraid to entrust us 

 with the amount of your subscription. 

 The Bee-Keeper is already on a pay- 

 ing basis, and will grow fat and flourish 

 when many uf its contemporaries are 

 "among the things that were."
