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 with our large and in- 

 creasing circulation, makes it advan- 

 tageous to dealers to avail themselves 

 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, but the lowest rates on yearly 

 contracts. 



A Sample (;opy of the Weekly Bee 

 Journal will be sent free to any per- 

 son. Any one intending to get up a 

 club can have sample copies sent to 

 the persons they desire to interview, 

 by sending the names to this office. 



^° The Bee Journal is mailed at 

 the Chicago Postofflce every Tuesday, 

 and any irregularity in its arrival is 

 due to the postal employes, or some 

 cause beyond our control. 



®" We are sometimes asked who 

 our authorized agents are ? Every 

 subscriber is such an agent ; we have 

 no others, and greatly desire that each 

 one would at least send in one new 

 subscriber with his own renewal. 



Tlie Apiary Register. 



As the time is now at hand to com- 

 mence the use of this valuable book, 

 all who intend to be systematic in 

 their work during the coming season, 

 should obtain a copy and commence to 

 use it.

The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones to pro- 

 cure at the start. 



Binders for 1882.— We have had a 

 lot of Emerson binders made espe- 

 cially for the Bee Journal for 1882.

 by mail for 75 cents.

 just issued a new pampiilet giving our
