EDITORIAL, 



It looks now as if the honey crop 

 of 189G will be the largest for several 

 years. The weather since spring 

 opened has in this locality been all 

 that the bee keeper could ask for. 



"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. 



Evidently queen rearing is not so 

 lucrative as in some former years. 

 We notice there are very few adver- 

 tisements of queen dealers seen in 

 the bee papers. 



"How to Manage Bees " is a 50c 

 book for beginners in bee keeping. 

 We will send it postpaid for 25c. 



At the present time there is no 

 particular subject pertaining to bee 

 keeping that is receiving any more 

 attention than another. This is a 

 very unusual .state of affairs. Some 

 one ought to start an argument of 

 some kind. 



Wm Gerrish, East Nottingham, N 

 H., keeps a complete supply of our 

 goods and Eastern customers will 

 save freight bv ordering from him. 



The bee industry in the Eastern 

 States is pretty " dead ''' this season, 

 as is shown by the letters and small 

 number of orders received. 



We will send the Farm Journal, 

 (Phila). and the Bee-Keeper one year 

 for 50c, or will send the Farm Journal 

 one year to everyone who owe a year 

 or more subscription and will pay up. 

 (Mention this offer). 



The Worlds Fair Commissioners 

 have just distributed the diplomas 

 and medals to exhibitors. It seems 

 as if pretty nearly everyone got them. 

 So many were distributed that they 

 are too common to be very highly 

 prized. 



If you need any bee supplies send 

 along your orders at once. We can 

 fill orders very promptly now. 



"How TO Manage Bees," a 50c 

 book, and the American Bee-Keep- 

 er a vear for onlv 60c.
