Brimful of interesting reading matter. Articles 

 on Marketing Honey, on Swarm Prevention, Queen 

 Bearing, Honey Production; in fact on everything 

 pertaining to the advancement of beekeeping. Our 

 Staff Correspondent and our Editor travel thousands 

 of miles to visit beekeepers and report items of 

 interest to our readers. 



A few pounds of honey gained, a swarm saved 

 here and there; it doesn't take much to make up 

 the price of a subscription, and we believe it can be 

 the means of saving much more than its cost to you. 



Try it for a year. We believe you'll keep on 

 as a regular subscriber. We can start you with the 

 January issue if you write at once.
