THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



The Monthly Bee Journal for 1 883. 



At the request of many who have 

 heretofore taken the Monthly and 

 Semi- Monthly Bee Journal, we shall 

 next year print a Monthly consisting 

 of 32 pages, issuing it about the 

 middle of each month, at $1.00 a year, 

 in advance; 2 copies for $1.80; 3 

 copies for S2..50 ; 5 copies for $4.00 ; 10 

 or more copies at 75 cents each. An 

 extra copy to the person getting up a 

 club of 5 or more. 



The Weekly is now permanently es- 

 tablished, and will be continued as 

 heretofore. 



The Weekly and Monthly Bee 

 Journals will be distinct papers, each 

 having its own sphere of operation 

 and different readers. 



We shall aim to make the Monthly 

 Bee Journal a welcome and profita- 

 ble visitor to the homes of those who 

 feel the need of a cheap, first class, 

 reliable bee paper in pamphlet form — 

 whose time is too much occupied to 

 read a weekly, or whose means or re- 

 quirements are more limited, and who 

 can dispense with the routine matter 

 more properly belonging to a weekly. 



Emerson Binders — made especially 

 for the Bee Journal, are lettered in 

 gold on the back, and make a very 

 convenient way of preserving the Bee 

 Journal as fast as received. They 

 will be sent, post-paid, for 75 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, .50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



1^ Our new location. No. 925 West 

 Madison St., is only a few doors from 

 the new branch postoftice. We have 

 a telephone and any one in the city 

 wishing to talk to us through it will 

 please call for No. 70S7— that being 

 our telephone number. 



l^° Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 18S1 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in^ They 

 are very valuable for reference. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity. — We have 

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when 

 and how. It is illustrated with 26 en- 

 gravings, and will be sent postpaid to 

 any address for 10 cents. 



1^ New subscribers for the Weekly 

 Bee Journal for 1S83, can obtain all 

 the rest of the numbers for this year 

 by sending $2 to this office.

Honey 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; 

 per hundred, $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 them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



1^ Articles for publication must be 

 written on a separate piece of paper 

 from items of business. 



1^ The Bee Journal is mailed at 

 the Chicago Postoffice every Tuesday, 

 and any irregularity in its arrival is 

 due to the postal employes, or some 

 cause beyond our control.

 HONEY— The market for extracted honey is 

 very satisfactory. We have received within the

 from Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, and the 

 demand exceeds our experience and expectations. 

 We have sold more tbsin ever at this time of the 

 year. Florida furnishes a honey which equals our 

 Northern clover, and excels all the Southern hi .ney 

 I have had so far. There is some call for comb 

 honey, but we have had no arrivals yet of a choice 

 article. Comb honey brinss 16(?j*2i>c. on arrival ; 

 extracted, 7(5)10c. BEESWAX— Firm at •2n@25c.
