Another A>vai'«l for Illinoii^. — In 



publishing the list of awards made in the 

 apiarian department of the World's Fair 

 last year, we omitted the State Collective 

 Exhibit of Illinois, which we are informed 

 was recommended for an award by Judge 

 Secor. 



We are glad to be able to announce the 

 above, for Bros. Stone and Hambaugh 

 worked so faithfully in getting the Illinois 

 exhibit, that they will feel that their efforts 

 were honored, in that the exhibit collec- 

 tively was recommended for an award. 



Now is Your Cliance — to induce 

 your bee-keeping friends to read the Bee 

 Journal. Just see the liberal offers on 

 page 707 of this issue. Only 50 cents to new 

 subscribers, from now to Jan. 1, 1895! Who 

 ever heard of such a low offer ? — 30 copies 

 of the Bee Journal for 50 cents! — and the 

 sender of the new names and the money to 

 receive a book premium I Help us to double 

 our list, and then see what an improved 

 journal we will give you ! It's a mighty 

 good time now to " strike us with a Club " 

 — of new subscribers. We are very much 

 in favor of that kind of a "strike." 

 Try it, and see how submissively we'll 

 take it. 



Hest Year for Honey .—Away down 

 in Georgia the honey season has ended, and 

 here is what Mr. J. B. Griffin, of that State 

 has to say about it: 



Our season for honey in this locality is 

 now over, an& it has been the best year for 

 honey that I have ever seen. 



J. B. Griffin. 



Cat Creek, Ga., May 29. 



Good! We want to receive several 

 thousand reports just like the above, with- 

 in the next two months. The propects in 

 nearly all localities are excellent, and we 

 hope that 1894 may prove to be "the best 

 year for honey " all over the country. If 

 such should be the case, w'aat a joyful lot 

 of folks bee-keepers would then be. We 

 are ready for that " good time." 



H\\'. Jf. ^I. Hooker, of England, met 

 with a serious accident on April 21st, we 

 regret to hear. He was thrown from a 

 vehicle in which he was riding, by the horse 

 becoming unmanageable. His collar-bone 

 and three ribs were broken. Mr. Hooker 

 gave us a pleasant call when in this coun- 

 try last fall. He was recovering rapidly 

 from his accident, when last heard from, 

 and hoped to be himself again in a few 

 weeks. 



Hon. Eng-ene Secor, our good 

 friend who was Judge of the apiarian ex- 

 hibit at the World's Fair, was solicited to 

 write an article reviewing the subject of 

 bees, honey, and bee-keeping, for the 

 permanent record which is being prepared 

 by the World's Fair Commission. We 

 learn that Bro. Secor complied with the 

 request, and that his article has been ac- 

 cepted. While we have not seen the ac-
