THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



Chicago, August, 1873. 



" ERRATA. 



Ou Page 29, this uuiuber, first line of Italics ouglit 

 to read " can bees " instead of " can lie bees." 



On Page 44, next to last line of Wm. Stump's re- 

 port from Ohio, ought to read " I prefer to have 

 gaine in boxes which retail at 40c. per pound." 



Want of room compels us to crowd out a num- 

 ber of excellent communications this month. 

 ♦-♦- 



The authorities in charge of the exposition at 

 Yienna refused to permit the exhibition of bees. 

 Theiv products and the empty hives could be 



Exhibited but not the living bees.

George Ezerry, of Schoenwald, writes to the 

 Bimienzeitunq that he has sent money to Lafran- 

 fenchy & Co., of Be", lenz, for Italian queens, and 

 after repeated efforts has been unable to recover 

 $rom them either money or queens, and therefore 

 warns all other bee-keepers to be cautious lest 

 ^hey will also be swindled by these dealers. The 

 editor in a note to the above adds that he has 

 received many and like complaints concerning 

 ©hevallv. 



Bee keepers will find in this issue of the 

 Journal the advertisement of a honey carrier for 

 •Jjis safe transportion of comb honey. We have 

 examined this invention, and believe it will prove 

 to be all that is claimed for it, and cheerfully rec- 

 ommend it, as we will all other useful inventions 

 that we honestly think advances the interests of 

 "ksee- keepers. 



Back Tolumes and Numbere. 



Mr. George S. Wagner, having desired to be 

 yeliered of the correspondence and mailing, 

 eonnected with applications for back volumes 

 for the American Bee Journal, we have 

 obtained from him the entire stock, and they are 

 now on hand, completely arranged, in our office. 

 Of Vol. I. we have a large supply, and therefore 

 offer it at the low price of one dollar, sent by 

 mail and post paid. This volume is worth five 

 times its price to any intelligent bee keeper. It 

 sontains a full elucidation of scientific bee keep- 

 ing, including the best statement extant of the 

 celebrated Dzierzon theory. These articles run 

 through eight numbers, and are from the pen of 

 the Baron of Berlepsch. We can furnish a few 

 sets of Vols. II., VI. and VII., with the exception 

 of a single number in each, which is mi.nsing. Of 

 Yols. III., IV..and,V.,,we can-SUBpLy a few com- 



plete sets, of Vol. VIII. we have but a few com- 

 plete sets left. Ordinary back volumes will be 

 sent on receipt of $1.50 per volume, and single 

 numbers at twenty cents each. Any numbers 

 that fail to reach subscribers by fault of mail, we 

 are at all times ready to send, on application, free 

 of charge. 



Beginners in bee culture, who desire to read up 

 in the literature of bee-keeping, are earnestly 

 advised to obtain the back volumes now offered. 

 We will send the entire set, which, as above ex- 

 plained, will be deficient about three numbers 

 only, on receiiit of ten dollars, delivering them at 

 the express office in this city. 



A Queer Paragraph. ? 



The folio wing editorial paragraph appeared in 

 Mr. King's Bee-Keepers' Journal for June : 



" By Mr. Clark's last Journal, we notice that 

 he has moved to 25 West Lake-st. Since that, 

 however, we have received notice from him to 

 send our exchange copies to his paper at Guelph, 

 Canada. We withdraw our address from Chicago, 

 for the present, and request our readers to send 

 all communications hereafter, to New York." 



The above is calculated to mislead in two or 

 three ways, and is withal so artfully worded, that 

 more than one meaning can be extracted from it. 

 We therefore take leave to make some little crit- 

 icism and comment upon it. 



Mr. King informs his readers in the first place 

 as follows :— " By Mr. Clark's last Journal we 

 notice that he has moved to 25 West Lake-st." 

 Now this is contrary to fact. Mr. King noticed 

 nothing of the kind "in Mr. Clark's last Journal." 

 What he did notice there was a very different 

 announcement. It was as follows :-" Removal: - 

 I'he office of this Journal is removed from 146 

 Madison St., to 25 West Lake st., Chicago:' It 

 was not he but tiie Journal whose removal was 

 announced,— a very different affair. 



" Since that, however, we received notice from 

 him to send our exchange copies to his paper to 

 Guelph, Canada;" the impression sought to be 

 conveyed being that instead of moving to another 

 street in Chicago, he had changed his mind and 

 gone to Guelph. 



" We withdraw our address from Chicago, for 

 the present :" when we got so far we supposed 

 Mr. King meant he had kindly acceded to our 

 request not to send the exchange to Chicago, but 

 to Guelph, though we couldn't see any sense in 

 devoting an editorial notice to so small an item 

 of inforniition. We soon found this was a mis- 

 apprehension, for lo! and behold! Mr. King pro- 

 ceeds to say, "and request our readers to send all
