The Annual Convention of the 

 Ontario Co. N. Y. Bee-Keepers' 

 Association will be held at Cananda- 

 igua N. Y. Jan. 24-25, 1895. This 

 is expected to be the most interesting 

 meeting of bee-keepers that will be 

 held in this state during the winter. 

 A special invitation is extended to 

 bee-keepers everywhere — Everybody 

 will be welcome. 



We have a quantity of Alley Drone 

 and Queen Traps pattern of 1894 

 which will be sold at 25c each, regu- 

 lar price 50c. These traps are just 

 as good for practical purposes as those 

 of more recent pattern. 



Wm Grerrish, East Nottingham, N. 

 H. will keep a complete supply of our 

 goods during the coming season and 

 Eastern customers will save freight 

 by ordering from him. 



We want a large quantity of bees- 

 wax, and will pay 30c a pound cash 

 or 32c a pound in goods for good 

 clean wax freight paid to Falconer, 

 N. Y. 



Jenny Atchley says that Dr. Miller 

 is "off the track" when he claims 

 that " Lessons in Profitable Bee- 

 Keeping '' that have recently been 

 running in the Southland Queen were 

 filched from A. B. J. It seems that 

 Mrs Atchley was the author of the 

 articles and they were first printed in 

 A. B. J. with her permission. 



We will send the American Bee- 

 Keeper one year with the Cosmopol- 

 itan for $1.25. The Cosmopolitan is 

 a monthly magazine containing an 

 average of over 100 pages and 80 il- 

 lustrations each month. 



Our 1896 Catalogue will be mailed 

 the latter part of the month. 



Up to the present time the weather 

 has been very open, and with many 

 warm days, with indications of an 

 open winter throughout. A mild 

 winter would be of great advantage 

 to bee keepers.

 book, and the American Bee-Keep- 

 er a year for only GOc, or A. B. C.
