System and Success. 



^P~ All who iutend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copj of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 tlie prices are reduced, as follows : 



For .50 colonies (120 pages) $] 00 



•• 100 colonies (220 pages) 1 "-o 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1 oO 



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.

J>:pccial Notices. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 togive their P. O. address and name, when 

 writingto this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post-Office, County 

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

 oCBce and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Sliuniliis' Non-Swarming 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 

 e.vists 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 .lO cents. It can now be 

 obtained at this office. 



^^ Our stock of Simmins' pamphlet on 

 Swarming is exhausted, with several orders 

 unfilled. We have more on the way, and as 

 soon as they come all orders on hand will be 

 filled.

 the Bees," and the Bee JoimN,4,i- for one

TUe AVestcrn 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

Yucca Brushes are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 itt, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 I'es. As each separate fiber extends the 

 liole length of the handle as well as the 

 rush, they are almost indestructable. 



but one tier of sections, no damage from the 

 drippings from an upper tier can occur. We 

 can furnish the material, ready to nail, for 

 9 cts. per crate. Glass \%c. per light, extra. 



Italian Queens.— We can supply them 

 by mail, postpaid, at the following prices : 

 Untested, $1.00 ; Tested, S2.00 : 6 Tested 

 Queens for $9.00. Orders filled at once. 



Bees for Sale.— We offer to sell a few 

 strong coloniesof Italian bees, in ten-frame 

 Simplicity hives, at S6.00 each. . 



When they become sticky with honey, they 

 I an be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any beekeeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at ."> cents 

 each, or .50 cents a dozen 



Ked Labels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4'; inches. — We have just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can

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

 to us about their papeis, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says : " It is not 

 convenient for me to send the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut diin't sdip sending i(. 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.

HONEY.— The prices of honey on this const are 

 now so low that producers can hardly make any

 is large, and the quality of very choice quality. 

 We quote 3^ to 4'ic. in a jobbing wav. and per- 

 haps a trifle more; but if holders wish to force 

 sales, lower prices must be taken. Comb honey 

 sells slowly at (> to oc. but just now it is not the 

 season for comb honey, and prices may improve.
