THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



March 



Elsewhere in this number of the 

 Bee Keeper we reprint an article on 

 "Hives," from the last number of 

 the "Bee Keepers' Record," publish- 

 ed in England. Sound sentiments 

 are there expressed, and our readers 

 will do well to read it. 



"We are glad to note that consider- 

 able interest is being awakened on 

 the subject of importing bees of the 

 Apis Dorsata variety. The giant bee 

 of India, as it is called, may not be a 

 desirable acquisition to our American 

 apiaries, but it is a good plan to try 

 them. 



It is a noticable fact that there have 

 been no new bee papers started this 

 year. This has not happened be- 

 fore in several years, and is an indi- 

 cation of "hard times" among bee 

 keepers. 



If any of our renders have failed to 

 receive a copy of our annual price 

 list we will be glad to mail one upon 

 application. Special low prices pre- 

 vail this season. 



We are always glad to receive arti- 

 cles for publication. They come 

 handy sooner or later. If you have 

 any news of any kind concerning 

 bees, write us about it and we will 

 publish it for the benefit of our read- 

 ers. 



We are paying 30c a pound cash 

 for good beeswax, delivered at our 

 railroad station at Falconer, N. Y. , or 

 we will allow 32c a pound in goods. 



A great many subscriptions have 

 expired the last two mouths, and we 

 shall be glad to receive a renewal of 

 each. We will send the Bee Keeper 

 the balance of this year to new sub- 

 scribers for 25 cents. Remember the 

 Bee Keeper is regularly composed 

 of 32 pages, 16 of which relate exclu- 

 sivel}' to bee keeping, and the remain- 

 der to miscellaneous literary subjects.
