THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

What the Press says of the Weekly. 



The following notices by agricultural 

 papers will show how the Weekly BEE 



.1 1 > i unai. is received by the Press. 



They have our thanks. 



The American Bee Journal comes 

 to us this week in a new form, and is 

 the more welcome, since il has become 



a full-grown weekly. Twenty years 



ago it was started as a monthly and has 

 "stood the s.orins of journalism un- 

 flinchingly," and now starts out as it 

 should have done long ago — a weekly. 

 We heartily recommend it to our read- 

 ers. — Patron's Guide, Boyd Sta.. Ky. 



T. G. Newman, editor of the Bee 

 Journal,, informs his readers, that the 

 bee-keepers' industry has grown to such 

 importance that it now demands and 

 will sustain a weekly publication de- 

 voted exclusively to its interest. What 

 a stride in this in the last decade, when 

 comparatively few persons had learned 

 enough about the business to lay aside 

 the old box hive and bee-gum for the 

 movable frame hive. The world moves, 

 however, and it is no uncommon thing 

 to hear of apiarists shipping tons of 

 honey to market, the product of not 

 more than a hundred hives. — Kansas 

 Farmer. 



That excellent periodical, the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal, which has hither- 

 to been published monthly, has been 

 changed to a weekly and greatly im- 

 proved. — Pilot. Marion, Iowa. 



The American Bee Journal is de- 

 cidedly the best journal of the kind 

 published. Every man interested in 

 hee raising should take this journal. — 

 Journal. Berlin, Wis. 



If you want to know anything in re- 

 gard to bees, take the Bee Journal. 

 Its pages are replete with information 

 relative to apiculture, and its bright 

 face and tasty make-up commend it to 

 the public at once. — Ensign, Moulton, 

 Iowa. 



The American Bee Journal, edited 

 by Thomas G. Newman, Chicago, ap- 

 pears for 1881 as a weekly. It is the 

 oldest bee journal in the country, and 

 worthy the support of all bee fanciers. — 

 Home Journal. Louisville, Ky. 



The American Bee Journal comes 

 to us now as a weekly, and what has 

 heretofore been the leading monthly 

 bee paper, now becomes the leading 

 apicultural weekly, as it is the oldest, 

 in the Union. As it aims to give all 

 the news respecting inventions and im- 

 provements in management from all 

 quarters of the globe, its weekly visits 

 cannot but prove valuable to all who 

 are interested in bee culture. — Farmer, 

 Denver, Colo. 



The American Bee Journal, for 

 twenty years, the leading monthly in 

 America, devoted to apiculture, now 

 becomes a weekly under the manage- 

 ment of its veteran editor Thos.G. New- 

 man, Chicago. — Plain Dealer, Cresco, 

 Iowa. 



The American Bee Journal, is 

 doubtless the best periodical in the 

 country, or in fact the world, which is 

 • devoted to the interests of bee culture. 

 It has now been changed to a weekly. — 

 Times, Bellow's Falls, Vt. 



The American Bee Tournal, here- 

 tofore the leading monthly bee paper, 

 becomes a weekly in 1881. It is the old- 

 est apicultural journal in America, and 

 -is-the first and only weekly in the world 

 devoted to bees and honey. We shall 

 take occasion to copy from its very in- 

 teresting columns occasionally. — Era. 

 Chautauqua, N. Y. 



The American Bee Journal, here- 

 tofore a monthly, becomes a weekly in 

 -1881. Those of our readers who wish 

 the best bee journal will do well to sub- 

 scribe for this one. — Pulaski, N. Y. De- 

 mocrat. 



The initial number of the Weekly 

 American Ree Journal is before us. 

 The change from a monthly to a weekly 

 is a great improvement, and everybody 

 interested in bees ought to have it. It 

 contains even more than its usual 

 amount of interesting reading matter. 

 —Eayle, Union City, lud. 



The American Bee Journal isnow 

 published weekly, and is full of news 

 about bees, honey, and other good 

 things. No farmer who has bees should 

 tniodo without it. — Western Agricul- 

 turist. 



The American Bee Journal comes 

 to us in a new form. Heretofore a 

 monthly, it appears weekly and will 

 continue to take a lively interest in all 

 wise efforts looking to the advance- 

 ment of the art and science of bee cul- 

 ture. We predict for it success in its 

 new form, under its enterprising editor. 

 — New Bedford, Mass., Standard. 



The American Bee Journal is the 

 oldest periodical published in America, 

 devoted to the scientific management 

 of the honey bee. Every person who 

 keeps bees should subscribe for the 

 above named journal, and see the pro- 

 gress that has been made in the man- 

 agement of bees.— Latrobe, Pa., Advo- 

 cate. 



The Bee Journal is the oldest ani- 

 cultural journal in America, and is the 

 first and only weekly in the world, de- 

 voted to bees and honey. We should 

 like to see every one in Hobart who 

 owns bees take it. — Journal, Hobart, 

 Ind. 



The December number of the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal closes the twentieth 

 year of its prosperous and useful exis 

 tence. So prosperous has its career 

 been that its enterprising publisher will 

 celebrate, by hereafter issuing this pub- 

 lication as a weekly. This will com- 

 mence a new era in bee journalism, and 

 it cannot be entrusted into any hands 

 with greater certainty of success than 

 with Mr. Newman. — Standard, New 

 Bedforn, Mass. 



The American Bee Journal, pub- 

 lished by Thomas G. Newman, at Chi- 

 cago, which has heretofore been issued 

 monthly, will be twenty years old Jan- 

 uary 1st, and will from that date be is- 

 sued weekly. It is exceedingly valu- 

 able to bee keepers. — Iowa Homestead. 



The American Bee Journal is the 

 standard authority on the care of bees, 

 the sale of honey, etc.— Load, Silver 

 Creek, N. Y. 



The American Bee Journal, the 

 leading and truly valuable publication 

 now makes its appearance as a weekly 

 instead of a monthly. The initial num- 

 ber is now before us. The monthly has 

 been recognized as the very highest au- 

 thority on apiculture for upwards of 

 twenty years. It is published by Thos. 

 G. Newman, of Chicago, whose reputa- 

 tion as a successful bee culturist is well 

 known in this country and across the 

 sea. To every one interested in apicul- 

 ture, we say subscribe for the Amer- 

 ican Bee Journal.— Sentinel, Carlisle, 

 Pa. 



The American Bee Journal is 

 twenty years old, and stands at the 

 head of American journals devoted to 

 the bee interests. — Farmers' 1 Review 

 Chicago, 111. 



Intelligent bee-keepers will be glad 

 to know that the American Bee Jour- 

 nal, the first paper established in this 

 country, especially devoted to bee cul- 

 ture, (founded by the late Samuel Wag- 

 ner of good memory) is, with the begin- 

 ning of the new year, to be published 

 as a weekly. Every progressive bee- 

 keeper should have this paper.— Borne 

 Farm, Augusta, Maine. 



The American Bee Journal, here- 

 tofore the leading monthly bee paper, 

 becomes a weekly in 1881. It is the old- 

 est apicultural journal in America, and 

 is the first and only weekly in the world, 

 devoted to bees and honey. It has been 

 published for twenty years, and its old 

 patrons, to whom it has long been a 

 guiding-star, as well as its thousands of 

 new readers, will together hail this new 

 departure of the Bee Journal with 

 joy.— Patriot, Concord, N. II. 



The American Bee Journal is the 

 leading periodical on bee-culture of the 

 United States. It is neat, typographic- 

 ally and otherwise, and is edited by a 

 gentleman who understand his busi- 

 ness. We wish it abundant suocess. —
