THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



Chicago, November, 1873. 



Removal. — We would announce to our read, 

 ers the removal of the office of the American 

 Bee Journal from 25 W. Lake street, to No* 

 27 McCormick Block, at which latter place 

 we are pleasantly and centrally located, and 

 where we shall be pleased to see all friends who 

 may favor us with a call. 



In view of the present serious financial dis- 

 turbances and the fact that the fall of the year 

 is just the time to settle up old accounts, renew 

 subscriptions, etc., we feel that an appeal to 

 those of our subscribers who are in arrears to 

 liquidate their indebtedness to the American 

 Bee Journal will not be met with indifference. 



The interest which has been manifested by 

 our friends in the past will, we feel assured, be 

 expected at the present time, when every busi- 

 ness man requires every available dollar for the 

 successful conduct of his business. The strin- 

 gency of the money market which affects one 

 position of the world, must necessarily commu- 

 nicate itself ultimately to every other commu- 

 nity, and remittances are never so gratefully 

 received by the publisher as when a financial 

 crisis has disturbed the ordinary course of 

 business. We shall therefore fell pleased to 

 receive all arrearage^ and new subscriptions 

 either single or in clubs. Those who are in ar- 

 rears will need no second notice to remit what 

 is due in whole or in part. And we reiterate 

 our sincere thanks to all our friends for past 

 patronage. We shal) endeavor to double our 

 present circulation of the A. B. J. during the 

 coming winter and extend its influence more 

 widely than ever before. We therefore most 

 earnestly solicit our friends and patrons to use 

 their best efforts to extend the circulation of 

 this Journal. Let each present subscriber en- 

 deavor to get at least another. 



Specimen copies for subscription purposes 

 sent free to all who desire to co-operate with us. 



Those of our readers who do not preserve 

 the A. B. J. in files, and who have Nos. 1 and 7, 

 Vol. 7, and No. 1, Vol. 3, may find a purchaser 

 by addi-essing the American Bee Journal.

Should the next meeting of our National 

 Bee-Keepers' Association take some action in 

 reference to the World's Fair to be held at 

 Philadelphia, Pa., in 1876? 



It is with no little regret that we read in 

 the last number of the Beinenzeitung of the 

 postponement of the annual meeting of the 

 German Bee-Keepers, which was to have taken 

 place on the 12th, 13th and 14th of September. It 

 has been postponed until 1874, owing to the 

 sickness prevalent in many portions of Germany 



Want of room compels us to hold over the 

 following interesting translations from German 

 periodicals devoted to bee culture : 



"Dzierzon"; "Extracts from History oi 

 Beekeeping in the Grand Dutchy of Hesse, in 

 course of publication in ' Die Biene' " ; "An 

 Imprisoned Queen" ; " The Impregnation of a 

 Wasp"; "Concerning Strengthening Swarms 

 with Combs of Brood." 



We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of 

 " The Report of the Commissioner of Agricul- 

 ture, [Frederick Watts, Esq.,] for 1872." The 

 report possesses more than ordinary points of 

 interest, several very valuable entomological 

 and botanical articles appearing in its pages, 

 while the statistical tables, etc., are comprehen- 

 sive and exhaustive, rendering the work as fine 

 a specimen of national literature as has been 

 issued for years. 



We have received the October issue of 

 the National Bee Journal, which is now publish- 

 ed by Mrs. Tupper. 



We were pleased to receive a call a few 

 days since from Mr. Adam Grimm, of Jefferson, 

 Wis., one of the most extensive bee-keepers in 

 this country. Mr. G.'s business in this city 

 was in connection with the sale of some 15,000 

 lbs. of honey comb and extracted honey which 

 belonged to himself and his neighbors. He 

 disposed of his large stock in hand to the 

 Chicago Honey Company, with the managers 

 of which he is personally acquainted. He re 

 fers to them in the most encomiastic terms, and 

 speaks of their ability and business qualifica- 

 tions as being worthy of the fullest confidence
