 to make them attractive. Manifest a 

 cheerful willitif^ness to wait upon peo- 

 ple, but don't urg-e them to buy, and 

 they will buy again. 



D. W. Heise — Read up, and put into 

 practice the able articles written by H. 

 F. Moore in the American Bee Journal, 

 on " A B C of Marketing Honey." I 

 know of nothing better. 



R. C. Aikin — Honest}', fairness, firm- 

 ness, frankness, push, advertising, 

 "always and everlastingly at it." 

 Have good goods, and have them all 

 the time, and get the people to using 

 them. 



J. E. Pond — Learn to keep bees and 

 care for them. Offer your honey hon- 

 estly to the public, giving just what is 

 wanted. Never oifer an inferior arti- 

 cle for a good one, and generally fol- 

 low the Golden Rule. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Utter and entire 

 honesty ; familiarity with the markets 

 and with the methods of producing 

 honey. Read all the articles that have 

 been written in this and perhaps other 

 journals on the subject. 



G. W. Dgmaree — In my opinion, to 

 be or to become a successful honey 

 merchant, one must be an apiarist. He 

 should know how to produce honey. 

 And he should do business in a way to 

 gain the confidence of all with whom 

 he has dealing. Straight is the word. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — Read the articles 

 by Messrs. G. K. Hubbard and Herman 

 F. Moore that have appeared in the 

 American Bee Journal during the past 

 year, and make use of the information 

 so obtained ; and don't overlook what 

 Mr. Moore says about section-cleaners 

 on page 595 (1898).

Bees in Fair Winter Condition. 



Bees did well last spring. I inereast from 

 11 colonies to 32, by natural swarming, and 

 obtained 400 pounds of comb houey. The 

 latter part of the season was not very good, 

 but bees are in fair condition for winter; 

 one-half packt on the summer stands, and 

 the rest in the cellar. I could not think of 

 doing without the American Bee Journal.

Honey-Dew and Fall Honey. 



My apiary consists of 30 colonies in Lang- 

 stroth hives, mostly Italians. I have taken 

 about 900 pounds of comb honey, about 

 half honey-dew, the balance fall honey. I 

 had a swarm of Italians Sept. 27; after fill- 

 ing 21 two-pound sections they left me. 



I am well pleased with the American Bee 

 Journal, and can't do without it.

A Comb Honey Bee-Keeper. 



Bees are wintering nicely up to date. 

 They had a flight Dec. 18. I have 357 colo- 

 nies in three different yards, packt in chaff 

 hives. Last season 1 secured .5,000 pounds 

 of comb honey from 198 colonies, and in- 

 ereast to 353. In my 20 years' experience 

 with bees, last season was the poorest ex- 

 cept one. In that time I have produced 

 and sold 373^ tons of comb honey. The last
