^:pfmal Notices. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be pai'ticular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others ha\nng no Post-Office, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 olTice and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to gire the address we have on our list. 



^Vbeu Renewing your subscription 

 please try to get your neighbor who keeps 

 bees to join with you in taking the Bee 

 Journal. It is now so cheap that no one 

 can afford to do without it. We will present 

 a Binder for the Bee Journal to any one 

 sending us four subscriptions— with $4.00— 

 direct to this office. It will pay any one to 

 devote a few hours, to get subscribers. 



Our New Catalogue of Bee-Keepers' 

 Supplies for the spring of 1886, is issued, 

 and will be sent to any one desiring a copy. 

 Send name and address, plainly written, on 

 a Postal Card for it. 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papeis, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient forme to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; fcut don't stop sendina it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so.

 7.T lbs. of Comb Foundation for the Brood- 

 Chamber, 4,xl6!4 inches, which we offer at

System and Success, 



^^~ All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (4'~0 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



Siniiulns' Non-SAvarniing System is 



the title of a new English bee-book. The 

 author claims that it will inaugurate a " new 

 era in modern bee-keeping," and states that 

 "it is based upon purely natural principles, 

 and is the only system that can ever be 

 relied upon, because no other condition 

 exists in the economy of the hive that can 

 be applied to bring about the desired result 

 — a total absence of any desire to swarm." 

 It contains 64 pages ; is well printed and 

 illustrated. Price 50 cents. It can now be 

 obtained at this office. 



Tlie Western World Guide and Hand- 

 Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 and the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new subscribers besides 

 their own, with $3, for one year, we will 

 present a cop.v of this valuable book.

Honey as Food and Medicine. 



I^~ To create Honey Markets in every 

 village, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey" (only .50 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a demand for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the following prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00; or 1,000 for $13.00. 

 On orders of 100 or more, we will print, if 

 desired, on the cover-page, " Presented by," 

 etc. (giving the name and address of the bee- 

 keeper who scatters them). 



To give away a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan- 

 tity of it.
