Ml*. Clmrles I^asU AI>1>ott, the 



originator of the Uritkh Bee Joimtal, died 

 on March 2, 1894. Editor Cowan, of the 

 journal named, promises further particu- 

 lars in the next issue of his paper. The sad 

 announcement was made in the issue for 

 March Sth, the notice being received just 

 on going to press. 



Expensive Houey-Uislie^t. — Dr. 



Miller, in one of his " Stray- (ing) Straws " 

 in Gkauinff-s, says this: "Dishes prepared 

 with honey at one of Nero's suppers are 

 said to have cost >;160,000." All of which 

 goes to show that Dr. Miller gets into one 

 valuable "straw" some invaluable or 

 priceless '' honey -dishes." 



'*Foiil ISrood ; Its Natural History 

 and Rational Treatment," is the title of an 

 interesting booklet by Dr. Wm. R. Howard, 

 of Texas. It also contains a review of the 

 work of others on the same subject. It is 

 being issued at the office of the Bee Jour- 

 nal, and will be ready to mail about April 

 10th. Price, postpaid, 25 cents; or clubbed 

 with the Bee Journal for one year — both 

 together for $1.15. Orders received now, 

 and mailed as soon as issued. 



Editor Hutcliinson^s March Review 

 is mainly devoted to a discussion of the 

 manufacture of comb foundation. It also 

 contains charming spring and summer 

 views of Bro. H.'s apiary. Bro. Taylor's 

 reports of experiments in the same number 

 we reproduce for the benefit of our readers 

 this week, as will be noticed on page 400. 

 The Review is so different from the other 

 bee-papers, that every wide-awake bee- 

 keeper can easily afford to take it in con- 

 nection with whatever other apiarian peri- 

 odical he may already be reading. We 

 can club the Review with the Bee Journal — 

 both together for a whole year — for only 

 $1.75. 



A I%e>v Edition of " The Bee-Keepers' 

 Guide; or Manual of the Apiary," by Prof. 

 A. J. Cook, has just been issued by the 

 publishers of the Bee Journal. Sixteen 

 thousand copies of this excellent and com- 

 plete bee-work have already been sold, and 

 it is to-day as standard as ever— -Plain — 

 Practical — Scientific. It contains over 450 

 pages, is beautifully printed, neatly and 

 substantially bound in cloth, and is sent 

 postpaid for $1.35 per copy; or clubbed 

 with the Bee Journal for one year — both 

 for $1.65. 



It will be noticed that the price hereafter 

 will be $1.25, instead of $1.00 as heretofore. 



'^^ Location. — In selecting a site for an 

 apiary, there are many considerations to 

 be borne in mind, especially if bee-keeping 

 is to be the sole business. The question of 

 very greatest import is that of resources. 

 Study the subject of the best honey-yield- 

 ing plants and trees, and be sure that you 

 locate within reach of some tolerably re- 

 liable source. — Quinby.
