 uilism as to auy other business, and 

 iK're is ample room for improvement 

 n any and all tbe bee papers. They 

 lie all successful in one particular, 

 uul that is the success with which 

 Jicy escape the seal of perfection. The 

 .Vinerican Bee-Keeper sees opportun- 

 ities for the man who has the capital 

 uid ability to overshadow everything 

 i|iiow in the field, in this line, and it 

 I would welcome his advent, heartilj'. 

 i We ask not that the earth and the full- 

 I luess thereof shall be set apart for our- 

 ! selves. 



Iveeper, and we hope to have a very- 

 complete list of dealers and producers 

 constantly under this heading. Better 

 advertising means better prices and a 

 wider distribution of our ijroduct. 



If you deal in honey, or if you pro- 

 duce honey for the market, you are in- 

 vited to patronize this department and 

 thus keep your business before the 

 public. 



OUR QUEEN DIRECTORY. 



The increasing popularity of our 

 Queen-Breeders' Directory is attested 

 by the increasing patronage it re- 

 ceives. Prospective buyers of choice 

 queens are invited to consult this de- 

 partment; and breeders of responsi- 

 bility everywhere are invited to tell 

 our readers what they have to offer, 

 through the Directory. Good adver- 

 tising is the parent of profitable bus- 

 iness. 



A HONEY DEALER'S DIRECTORY. 



For the information of honey pro- 

 ducers, and as a means of effecting a 

 more general distribution of our pro- 

 ducts, as well as enabling dealers to 

 keep their business before the produc- 

 ing fraternity. The American Bee- 

 Keeper has undertaken to establish, as 

 a regular department in its columns, 

 a "Honey Dealer's Directory." In in- 

 augurating this special service we 

 shall endeavor to include only reliable 

 firms, and to arrange them in order. 

 by States, to facilitate ready reference. 



Two nonpareil lines will be allowed 

 for each announcement, which must 

 run one full year. The charge will be 

 uniformly $1.2.5 for 12 months. Addi- 

 tional words, not to exceed 50 may be 

 used at 12 cents each for the full year. 

 or one cent a word per month. 



This department is intended, not only 

 for those who deal in honey, but Ks 

 purpose is to serve as a publicity medi- 

 um for producers who sell in quan- 

 tities. 



The numerous inquiries received .«!t 



this office, from those having honey 



* for sale bears evidence of the necessity 



for some such a department in the Bee-

 JOURNAL SOLD. 



BEE 



Just as we were going to press with 

 the May edition of the Bee-Keeper, the 

 following letter came to hand: 



Boulder, Colo., April 25, 1904 

 My Dear Mr. Hill: — 



I have just sold the plant, subscrip- 

 tion list, good will, etc., of the Rocky 

 Mountain Bee Journal to P. F. Adels- 

 bach. editor of the Pacific States Bee 

 Journal and manager of the Central 

 California Honey Producers' Associa- 

 tion. The two journals will be merged 

 and published under a new and broad- 

 er name and will aim to serve the in- 

 terests of the bee-keepers of the entire 

 region of the eastern slopes of the 

 Rockies to the Pacific coast. 



My reason for lefting go is that my 

 main business (honey production) has 

 now grown so large as to leave no time 

 for side issues. It Tiad become a case 

 of "too many irons in the dire." 

 Fraternally Yours, 



H. C. Morehouse. 



Thus we have to record the demise 

 of one of the most sprightly, practical 

 and neat bee journals that have ever 

 been published in the United States; 

 and while we sincerely wish Mr. More- 

 house abundant success as an apiarist 

 we deeply regret his retirement from 

 the editorial arena. 



Brother Adelsbach is now getting 

 out a very instructive journal, of spec- 

 ial interest to Pacific Coast bee-keep- 

 ers; and if he can maintain the pace 

 set by Mr. Morehouse, he has before 

 him a great field. 0\ir sincere wishes 

 for success are with him.
