A Stand for Comb Honey 



exhibits at Fairs or other places is shown 

 by the engraving below. It could also 

 be used to advantage in every grocery 

 store, to arrange the sections of comb 

 honey in such a way as to call to it the 

 attention of customers, thereby selling 

 large quantities of honey, as nice comb 

 honey needs but to be seen to insure sales. 



Stand for Comb Honey. 



Bee-keepers should be awake to the 

 employment of every means to dispose 

 of their crops of honey to the best ad- 

 vantage, and induce local grocers to put 

 up such a stand as this to help in selling 

 the product of the apiaries in their 

 midst. 



This stand, to show 25 pounds of 

 honey in 4}^x4% sections, is about 2% 

 feet wide at the base, and 4% feet in 

 height ; size of glass, 20x36 inches. 



The Apiculturist for July is on 

 hand, as bright and neat as a new pin. 

 Bro. Alley has this to say about us in 

 that issue, for which we extend thanks : 



Brother Thomas G. Newman has been 

 obliged to give up his connection with 

 the American Bee Journal. Hundreds 

 will regret his retirement. So far as the 

 American Bee Journal is concerned, it 

 seems to have passed into good hands, 

 and the Apiculturist wishes Bro. York 

 success in his business. 



Mr. S. E. Miller, who now is one of 

 the esteemed correspondents of the Bee 

 Journal, and who has long and ably 

 conducted the Apiarian Department of 

 the Farm, Field and Stockman, wrote a? 

 follows about the change in the man- 

 agement of the Bee Journal : 



With the first number of June, that 

 " old reliable " authority on bee-matters, 

 the American Bee Journal, passed 

 into new, yet not untried hands. George 

 W. York, for eight years Mr. Newman's 

 able assistant, assumes control. Mr. 

 Newman is retained as editorial father. 

 All interested in the honey-bee and its 

 work, will join with us in wishing Mr. 

 York a long and prosperous voyage in 

 the journalistic sea. 



Good "Wishes are always appre- 

 ciated by the publishers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, and while we would 

 like very much to record all of them 

 from our thousands of well-wishers, we 

 can only publish a few. The following 

 is from J. M. Pratt, of Todd's Point, 

 Ky., written when sending his subscrip- 

 tion for another year : 



I have been a reader of the American 

 Bee Journal since 1877. I cannot be 

 without it and keep bees. Often one 

 article alone has been worth more to me 

 than the price of the Bee Journal for 

 one year. While it has stood the test of 

 age, it is always new, fresh and inter- 

 esting every week. Our best wishes and 

 hopes are that its continuation in the 

 future will be as full of usefulness and 

 prosperity as it has been in the past. 

 J. M. Pratt. 



The Gossip is like the bee ; there 

 is always a sting in her tale.
