To Advertisers.— By reference to our 

 schedule of rates for advertising by 

 the year, it will be seen that consider- 

 able reduction has been made. This, 

 in connection witli our large and in- 

 creasing circulation, makes it advan- 

 tageous to dealers to avail tliemselves 

 of its weekly visits to the bee-keepers 

 of America to make their announce- 

 ments for the coming season's trade. 

 We not only offer the best advertising 

 medium, butthe lowest rates on yearly 

 contracts. 



Special Notice.— We send this num- 

 ber of the Bee Journal to those of 

 our subscribers for last year wlio have 

 not yet sent on the money for 1882. 

 Many of the renewals will be in tran- 

 sit in the mails, and those who liave 

 not yet started the money are hereby 

 cordially invited to do so at once, or 

 they will receive no more, unless we 

 hear from tliem immediately. 



We invite all to promptly renew, 

 and save the unnecessary trouble of 

 taking tlie names from our mail list, 

 and having to replace them again in a 

 few days. Promptness in this will 

 save us much valuable time and 

 perplexity. 



Once in a while we receive a rather 

 uncourteous letter because the Bee 

 Journal is discontinued when the 

 time is out that has been paid for. We 

 try to please all our subscribers, but it 

 is not an easy task for us to determine 

 who does and who does not want it 

 so continued ; so we must ask to be 

 informed on the subject. 



Now, if all who desire it continued 

 would drop us a postal card, or men- 

 tion it when they are sending a remit- 

 tance, it would save us much trouble 

 and themselves the annoyance of 

 having the Journal stopped.

 so arranged that a single glance will 

 give a complete history of the colony. 

 Each book will also contain printed

 account. As each book is intended 

 for a several years' record, it is gotten 

 up on first class paper, and strongly

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there-

 these to our new Premium List for
