1^ A few of our subscribers are in 

 arrears for the present year— liaving 

 requested us to continue, and tliey 

 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. 



i^ The Amerian Express Company 

 money order system is the cheapest, 

 safest and most convenient way of re- 

 mitting small sums of money. Their

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

New Preniiiims for 1883. 



Preparation of Honey for the Mar- 

 ket, including the production and care 

 of both comb and extracted honey, 

 instructions on the exliibition of bees 

 and honey at Pairs, etc. This is a 

 new 10 cent pamphlet, of 32 pages. 



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 

 thus 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 

 follows : 



To any one sending us $8 for any 

 books they may select from our " Book 

 List," on the last page of this paper, 

 we will present the Weekly Bee 

 JoiTRNAL for one year. 



To any one purchasing $4 worth of 

 books, selected from our " Book List," 

 on the last jiage of this paper, we will 

 present the Weekly Bee Journal 

 for six months or the Monthly for one 

 year. 



Any one sending us a club of two 

 subscribers for 1883, for the Weekly, 

 with $4, will be entitled to a copy of 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, postpaid. 



For three subscribers, with $6, we 

 will send Cook's Manual, in paper, 

 Emerson's Binder tor the Weekly, or 

 Apiary Register for 50 colonies. 



For four subscribers, with $8, we 

 will send Cook's Manual in cloth, or 

 Apiary Register for 100 colonies. 



For five subscribers, with $10, we 

 will send the Apiary Register for 200 

 colonies, Quinby's New Bee-Keeping, 

 Root's A B C of Bee Culture, or an 

 extra copy of the Weekly Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year. 



To get any of the above premiums 

 for the Monthly Bee Journal send 

 double the number of subscribers, and 

 the same amount of money. 



1^ We will send Cook's Manual 

 in cloth, or an Apiary Register for 100 

 colonies, and Weekly Bee Journal 

 for one year, for $3.00 ; or with King's 

 Text-Book, in cloth, for $2.75 ; or with 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, $2.50. The 

 Monthly Bee Journal and either of 

 the above for one dollar less. 



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 $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. 



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. 



^" The Bee Journal is mailed at 

 the Chicago post office every Tuesday, 

 and any irregularity in its arrival is 

 due to the postal employes, or some 

 cause beyond our control. 



1^ Articles for publication must be 

 written on a separate piece of paper 

 from items of business. 



Sample Copies of theAjiERiCAN Beb 

 Journal will be sent free to any per- 

 son. Any one intending to get up a 

 club can have sample copies sent to 

 the persons they desire to interview, 

 by sending the names to this office. 



Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, on 

 which are printed a large bee m gold, 

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



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.
