Revised by Dadant— Latest Edition. 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bee-culture, and ought to be in the 

 library of every bee-keeper. It is bound 

 substantially in cloth, and contains 

 over 500 pages, being revised by those 

 large, practical bee-keepers, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1.20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $2.00 ; or, we will 

 mail it as a premium for sending us 

 THREE NEW subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year, with $3.00. 



This is a splendid chance to get a 

 grand bee-book for a very little money 

 or work.

Wavin&sForSale 



We are accumulating quite a stock of engrav. 

 ings that have been used in the American Bee 

 Journal. No doubt many of them could be used 

 again by bee-keepers in their local newspapers, 

 on their stationery, or in other ways. Also, if 

 we can sell some of them it would help us to 

 pay for others that we are constantly having 

 made and using in our columns. If there is any 

 of our engravings that any one would like to 

 have, just let us know and we will quote a very 

 low price, postpaid. Address,
