THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Last month we concluded not to mail 

 any more free sample copies this season, 

 but as we have had numerous inquiries 

 for description of our new Thin hive 

 and Winter case, we have decided to 

 send out several hundred sample copies 

 again this month, so that our friends 

 who are not subscribers may know 

 what good things the new hive and 

 case are. All who receive a sample 

 copy are earnestly asked to send in 

 their subscription. 



We notice in several market reports 

 from different cities that there is an 

 increasing demand for dark or buck- 

 wheat honey. If bee-keepers will en- 

 deavor to find a market for this grade 

 we do not think they will have any 

 trouble in doing: so. 



We have had several inquiries for 

 the address of a good poultry paper. 

 We consider I arm and Poultry, pub- 

 lished in Boston, Mass., the best for 

 the price — 50c per year. We will send 

 it with the Bee-Keeper one year for 

 90c, or Farm and Poultry, one year and 

 the Bee-Keeper the balance of '91 for 

 70 cents. 



We have had many discouraging re- 

 ports from many parts of New Eng- 

 land. Owing to the small honey crop 

 last season, many bees are starving. 

 This is the state of affairs in Old 

 England, also. 



Owing to the scarcity off 

 beeswax, as well as the recent 

 advance in price, we are com- 

 pelled to advance the price of 

 foundation 3c per lb. A similar 

 increase off price has been 

 made by Dadant & Son, T. G. 

 Newman, A. I. Root and other 

 principal manufacturers. 



We acknowledge with thanks the 

 receipt from our friend Dr. C, C. Mil- 

 ler, a copy of "A Year Among Bees." 

 It is a valuable book for all interested 

 in bee culture, and is written by one 

 who knows of what he writes, from 

 many years' experience. Price in cloth 

 50 cents. 



The May Flower, a sixteen page il- 

 lustrated monthly, 50c a year, publish- 

 ed at Floral Park, N.Y., recently call- 

 ed for a vote from its readers on a 

 choice for the National flower, which 

 resulted as follows : Lilly, 16,421 : 

 Red Clover, 8,8ia ; Violet, 6,583; 

 Water Lily, 3,845; Trailing Arbutus, 

 2,278; Columbine, 2,015. 



We will send the American 

 Bee-Keeper from now until 

 Jan. 1st, 1892, for 25 cents. 



In our haste to get out our '91 cat- 

 alogue, several errors and omissions 

 were made, which have caused us con- 

 siderable trouble. We have given on 

 the supplement to this number of the 

 Bee-Keeper a complete list of correc- 

 tions so far as we have discovered 

 them up to the present time. 



The W. T. Falconer Max'f'g Co., 

 Dear Sirs: Goods received today. It 

 is useless for me to say to you that I 

 am pleased with them. If your goods 

 do not please it is because the customer 

 does not know what he wants. 



Yours truly, J. Frank Denney. 



Leipsic, Del. , April 16, 1891.
