THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



abandoned the lower story, I looked 

 in it, and found six frames, not quite 

 so full, but about as usually found at 

 this time in the spring. If all my 

 queens were capable ot doing as well 

 as this, I should consider that the 

 " coming bee " was already here, and 

 would not look any further. This 

 queen is two years old. Most of her 

 bees show only one band, and some 

 not that. Last year this colony gave 

 a surplus of 100 pounds with the ex- 

 tractor, while some colonies under the 

 same conditions, gave little or none.

 premiums. Their own subscription 

 may count in the club : 



For a Club ot 2,- a copy of " Bees and Honey."

The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in- 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies 220 pages 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages)., 2 00 



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. 



Houey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 perjiundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 ' 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters tlieni). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense — enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



Binders for 1882.— We have had a 

 lot of Emerson binders made espe- 

 cially for the Bee Journal for 1882. 

 They are lettered in gold on the back, 

 and make a nice and convenient way 

 to preserve the Journal as fast as

 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.

 dress, mention the old as well as the 

 new address.

 of a newspaper and the refusal to pay 

 for the same, theft, and any person
