^:|jedal Notices. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to erive 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 Pos1>Office, County 

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

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give the address we have on our list. 



Dr. Miller's Book, "A Year Among 

 the Bees," and the Bee Joubnal for one 

 year, we will club for $1.50. 



A New Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

 sections of honey. — It has a strip of glass on 

 «ach side, to allow the honey to be seen. It 

 Is a light and attractive package. As it holds 

 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 15ic. per light, extra.' 



Ifucca BriisbeH are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 bees. As each separkte fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as^ the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any beekeeper to have si.t or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at n cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 add 1 cent each for postage 



Five Thousand new subscribers to the 

 Bee Jocrnal is what we have made our 

 ■calculations for ; they will come in clubs 

 between now and next spring. Installments 

 *re coming every day . 



t3S'~ Sample Copies of the Bee Journal 

 win be sent fkee upon application. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview, by sending the names to this office, 

 Or we will send them all to the agent.

THE "BOSS" ONE-PIECE 



SECTIONS. 



Patented June 28, 1881. 



WHII^E: attending the North American 

 Bee-Keepers' Convention at Indianap- 

 olis, we learned there was a rumor afloat 

 that the Patent on theONE-PIECE SECTION 

 had been set aside— circulated by unprin- 

 cipled parties, to mislead bee keepers. We 

 would say in regard to this, that such is not 

 the case. It is now before the U. S. Supreme 

 Court, at Washington, and will probably be 

 decided before a great while, when we will 

 notify all through the Bee Journal. Until 

 then pay no attention to rumors. 



Before ordering write us for prices. We 

 will furnish you Sections as cheap as the 

 cheapest. Let us hear from you before you 

 order. Address,
