New Premiums for 1883. 



As the season for reading has now 

 arrived, we hope that each of our 

 subscribers will endeavor to send at 

 least one new subscriber for the 

 Weekly Bee Journal for 1883 and 

 tlius not only help on the cause of 

 progressive bee-culture, but assist in 

 sustaining the only Weekly bee paper 

 in the world. 



Providence has smiled on the bee- 

 keepers during the past season, and as 

 a general thing they are abundantly 

 able to procure a good assortment of 

 bee-literature. 



In order to encourage every one who 

 keeps bees, be they few or many colo- 

 nies, to thoroughly read the many 

 very interesting books on bee-culture, 

 now published, we have determined 

 to make liberal offers, which will be 

 available until January 1, 1883, as

 books they may select from our " Book 

 Liist," on the last page of this paper,

Subscription Credits.— After send-

 would respectfully ask every one to 

 look at the label on the wrapper of the 

 next two papers, and there they will 

 find the credit indicated thus : Those 

 who have paid for the first six months 

 of next year will find " June 83 " after 

 their names. Those who have paid 

 for tlie whole year will find " Dec. 83 " 

 on their papers. The credit runs to 

 the end of the month indicated. If 

 the mark is " Dec. 82," it means that 

 the subscription is paid until the end 

 of the present year. Please remem- 

 ber that the credit given on this label 

 is a sullicient notification of subscrip- 

 tions due and receipt for payments 

 made. If not so indicated within two 

 weeks after sending money to us, you 

 may be sure something is wrong, and

 save annoyance and trouble if our 

 subrcribers will give this matter due 

 attention.

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when
