The Moiitlily Bee Journal for 1 883. 



At the request of many who have 

 heretofore taken the Monthly and 

 Semi-Montlily Bee Jouhnal, 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 $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 bedistinctpapers, 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 tliose 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. 



^" Xew subscribers for the Weekly 

 Beb Journal for 1883, can obtain ail 

 the rest of the numbers for this year 

 by sending $2 to this oftiee.

 Madison St., is only a few doors from 

 the new brancli postoffice. We have

 wishing to talk to us through it will 

 please call for No. 7(JS7— that being

^^ 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.

 very satisfactory. We have received within the

 many consignors desiring to realize quickly.

 Journal must reach this office by

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. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A newedition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinda 

 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^ Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2.00 per 100. The
