American Hee Journal 



Lan^stroth »n the 

 ^^^ Honey-Bee 



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 

 nearly 600 pages, being revised by that 

 large, practical bee-keeper, so well- 

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Mr. C. P. Dadant. 

 Each subject is clearly and thoroughly 

 explained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way tc 

 •uccess 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.

" Songs of Beedom." — This is a beau- 

 tiful 16-page-and-cover pamphlet, 6x9 inches 

 in size, containiDg 10 bee-songs — words and 

 music — all the songs so far written specially 

 for bee-keepers, we believe. It is nice, as 

 well as coaTenient, to have these songs all in 

 one binding. Every bee-keepers' organiza- 

 tion should have copies for use at conven- 

 tions. They could be sold to members after 

 using once, or held by the secretary for use 

 at future meetings. Of course, every bee- 

 keeper's family will want at least one copy. 

 It is sent, postpaid, for only 35 cents, or 3 

 copies for 60 cents; or, we will mail one copy 

 with the American Bee Journal one year — 

 both for SI. 10. Send all orders to the office 

 of the American Bee Journal. 



Bee-Song Soavenir Postal Cards. — 



We have issued in colors, 3 bee-song postal 

 cards for bee-keepers, each card having one 

 of the following songs, about 2]4^S% in size, 

 also with illustrated heading on each card : 

 " Buckwheat Cakes and Honey," "The Bee- 

 Keeper's Lullaby," and the " The Humming 

 of the Bees." The first two cards have small 

 pictures of the authors of the words and 

 music. This makes 4 souvenir postal cards 

 we have now issued for the use of bee-keep- 

 ers, the first being the " Honey-Bear " card. 

 Prices, by mail, are as follows : Sample cards, 

 3 cents each ; 7 for 20 cents, or 10 for 25 cents. 



ZW I can not be without the " Old Reli- 

 able." I think it is worth many times its 

 price. It is a comfort and an adviser to me. 

 It is far ahead of any other bee-paper I have 

 seen so far. — A. L. Oliver, of Minnesota.

What Some Say of our Standard- 

 Bred Italian Queens: 



George 11'. York <fc Co.: — The two queens re- 

 ceived of you some time ago are fine. They 

 are good breeders, and the workers are show- 

 ing up fine. I introduced them among black 

 bees, and the bees are nearly yellow now, and 

 are doing good work. A. W. Swan. 



Nemaha Co., Kan., July 15. 



George W. York & Co .-—After importing 

 queens for 15 years you have sent me the best. 

 She keeps fl'o Langstroth frames fully occu- 

 pied to date, and, although I kept the hive 

 well contracted to force them to swarm, they 

 have never built a queen-cell, and will put up 

 100 pounds of honey it the flow lasts this 

 week. Chas. Mitchell. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22. 



George W. York ifc Co.: — The queen I bought 

 of you has proven a good one, and has given 

 me some of my best colonies. 



N, P. Oglesbt. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22 



George 11'. York it f'o..— The queen I re- 

 ceived of you a few days ago came through 

 O.K., and I want to say that she is a beauty. 

 1 immediately introduced her into a colony 

 which had been queenless for 20 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work 

 nicely. I am highly pleased with her and 

 your promptness in filling my order. My 

 father, who is an old bee-keeper, pronounced 

 her very fine. You will hear from me again 

 when I am in need of something in the bee- 

 line. E. E. McColm. 



Marion Co., 111., July 13.
