THOMAS G. NEWMAN, 



VSa West Madison Htreet., C'hlcuKo, III. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 tlie new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in wliicli 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 liome, at a good profit. 



J^pccial IJoticcs. 



^^ A few of our subscribers are in 

 arrears for the present year— having 

 requested ns to coiit4nue, and they 

 would pay soon. Will all such please 

 take this as a request to send on the 

 two dollars with a renewal for next 

 year, if possible. 



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 Oo 



" 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. 



At the request of many who have- 

 heretofore taken the Monthly and 

 Semi-Monthly Bee Jouknal, 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 7-5 cents each. An 

 extra copy to the person getting up a 

 club of 5 or more. 



The Weekly is now permanently es- 

 tablislied, and will be continued as 

 heretofore. 



The Weekly and Monthly Bee 

 JouKNALS will be distinct papers, each 

 having its own sphere of operation 

 and different readers. 



We shall aim to make the Monthly 

 Bee Jouknal 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.
