To the Bee keepers' Review, let me explain what it is 

 trying to do. It is woiking hard to establish a 



It is encouraging hee-keepers to go bej-ond the man- 

 aging of a single apiary. It is bringing to light and 

 teaching methods that enable one or two men to man- 

 age several apiaries. It is securing as correspondents 

 men who have done this and made >notify It is en- 

 couraging bee keepers, sfter they have secured a crop, 

 to make the mos-t of it, to sell it to advantage — to adopt 

 business methods— the same as is done in other lines of 

 business. 



To Illtistrale: 

 Mr. E. D. Townsend, the most extensive bee-keeper in 

 Michigan, managed an out apiary .50 miles from home, 

 for two vears, by visiting it cin\y four times a year, and 

 the profits of each visit were 



One Ilnndred and Fiftx DolJavs. 

 I ast ytar it was visited only i/iree times. In the Jan- 

 uary Review Mr' Townsend begins a series of articles 

 in which he will describe his methods. 



Last year Jlr. F. IJ. Atwater, of Idaho, with only 

 one helper, 



AInni:ip;-ecI Eleven ^4pifiries, 

 scattered from seven to eighteen miles from home, 

 and in the January Review he has a long article de- 

 scribing the hives, implements, and methods that 

 enabled him to accomplish this feat. 



Mr. M. A. Gill, of Colorado, last year, with the 

 assistance of his wife and one other helper, managed 

 1100 colonies, increased them to KiOO, and shipped 



Two Crirloads of Coml) /lone.v. 



Before the opening of the season, the Review will 

 publish an article from Mr. Gill in which he tells ex- 

 actly how he manages -particularly in regard to the 

 swarming problem 



After the crop of honey is off the hives, the battle is 

 only half won, the 



Selling; is liti'ially Imiiortant. 



The Review will probably do some of its best work 

 the coming year in showing bee-keepers how to dis- 

 pose of their crops to the best advantage. For instance, 

 before the time comes for selling this year s crop of 

 honey, the Review will publish an artich- fr<mi Mr H. 

 C Alilers, of Wisconsin, in which he will tell in detail 

 how he has built up a trade in selling extracted honey 

 direct to consumers, in which he last j'ear 



Sold Over 20.000 I^ounds, 



and most of it at 12 cents per pound! 



The foregoing are only a few of the good things in 

 store for the readers of the Review- they are given 

 simply as samples. The prospects for 



AlaUiiiii- Money in Bee-ICeefjins; 



were never brighter for the man who will rouse him- 

 self, wake up to the changed condition of things, and 

 take advantage of the changes. 



One thing is certain, if you are a bee-keeping spe- 

 c'alist, if beekeeping is your business, you can't afford 

 not to 



Read the Review. 



It will lead you, and encourage you. and fill you with 

 ideas, and tell you how to do things— show you how to 

 enlirge your business and make money. 



Just at present, and as long as they last (there are 

 about fiity sets now left), I can make
