^^p^ecial Hatices. 



1^ The Ameiian Express Company 

 money order system is the cheapest, 

 safest and most convenient way of re- 

 mitting small sums of money. Their 

 rates for $1 to $5 are 5 cents ; over $5 

 to $10, 8 cents. They can be pur- 

 chased at any point where the com- 

 pany have an oflice, except Canada, 

 and can be made payable at any one 

 of the company's 4,000 offices. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get either a post office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 25 cents at Chicago banks. 



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 81.80; 3 

 copies for $2.50 ; 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. 



Premiums.— Those who get up clubs 

 for the Weekly Bee Journal for one 

 year, will be entitled to the following 

 premiums. Their own subscription 

 may count in the club : 



For a Club of S,— " Bees and Uoney," In paper. 

 " " 8,— an pjineraon Binder, or "Bees 



and Honey," In cloth. 

 " " 4,— Apiary ReKister for 50 Colonies, 



or Cook's Manual, paper. 



" " 5,— Cook'.^t Manual, in cloth, or the 



Apiary Kejiister for 100 Colonies 



" " 6,— Weekly Bee Journal for I year, 



or Apiary ReKistor for200 Col's. 



Two subscribers for the Monthly 

 ■will count the same as one for the 

 W'eekly, when getting up clubs for the 

 above premiums. 



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 postoffice. We have 

 a telephone and any one in the city 

 wishing to talk to us through it will 

 please call for No. 7087— that being 

 our telephone number. 



1^" Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 1881 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in. They 

 are very valuable for reference

Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A iiewedition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in wliich 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, " I'lesented 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. 



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 1883, can obtain all 

 the rest of the numbers for this year 

 by sending $2 to this office. 



1^ Articles for publication must be 

 written on a separate piece of paper 

 from items of business. 



i®° 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. 



^" Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2.00 per 100. The 

 name of the Association printed in the 

 blanks for 50 cents extra. 



1^" When changing a postoffice ad-

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

 we send for 10 cts. each, or $8 per 100,

 tors and others have used Kendall's
