SPECIAL NOTICES. 



All who subscribe or renew their 

 subscriptions at once will get the 

 Apicdltuhist fourteen months for 

 $1.00 as Jill subscriptions coming 

 in during November and December 

 will be dated to expire January 1, 

 1889. In addition we give each

 of any of the goods mentioned in 

 another place of this issue. 



NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



Please bear in mind that we stop 

 sending the Api to all subscribers 

 when the time paid for has expired, 

 unless requested to continue it, or 

 the subscription is renewed. 



If by mistake, the journal is 

 mailed to you, and is not needed, 

 please say on a postal card " dis- 

 continue Api to my address." 



Some of our subscribers have 

 had rather " hard luck" with their 

 bees and are not prepared to re- 

 new their subscription ; to such the 

 Api will be continued if they re- 

 quest us to do so, — and if paid for 

 inside of one year it will be per- 

 fectly satisfactoiy. 



BOUND VOLS. OF THE API. 



We still have a few bound copies 

 of Vol. I and II of the American 

 Apiculturist. The book contains 

 288 pages, and every part of bee 

 culture is treated upon and by the 

 best apicultural writers in the 

 world. 



The work is handsomely bound 

 in cloth and will be mailed to any 

 address on receipt of fifty cents. 



Vol. Ill is also handsomely 

 bound and contains 290 pages of 

 A'ery interesting and most instruc- 

 tive matter pertaining to every 

 branch of beekeeping. The two 

 books will be mailed for $1.00. 



double-walled langstroth hives. 



Our old style Bay State hive is 

 the same as the Reversible hive. 

 One has reversible frames, and the 

 other is adapted to the standard 

 Langstroth frame. This hive has 

 ever}^ good feature in its construc- 

 tion tiuit the Reversible hive has, 

 except reversing the combs. 



It can be used with or without 

 the outside case in summer ; the 

 sections can be tiered up the same, 

 and the section case is exactly as 

 near the brood as in the Reversible 

 hive. We have used this stjde in 

 the Bay State apiary fourteen 

 years and with good results. The 

 price is the same as for the com- 

 plete Reversible hive.
