^' A few of our subscribers are in 

 arrears for the present year — having 

 requested us to continue, 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 American 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 office, 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 anv kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 25 cents at Chicago banks. 



Preparation of Honey for the Mar- 

 ket, including the production and care 

 of both comb and extracted honey, 

 instructions on the exhibition of bees 

 and honey at Fairs, 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, 18S3, 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 

 Journal for one year. 



To any one purchasing |4 worth of 

 books, selected from our " Book List," 

 on the last page 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 1SS3, for the Weekly, 

 with $4, will be entitled to a copy of 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, postpaid. 



For three subscribers, with $G, we 

 will send Cook's Manual, in paper, 

 Emerson's Binder for 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 flve subscribers, with $10, we 

 will sflid 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. 



The Monthly Bee Journal for 1 888. 



^' 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. 



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 and Monthly Bee 

 Journals will be distinct papers, each 

 having its own sphere of operation 

 and different readers. The Weekly 

 will contain all that the Monthly does, 

 besides twice as much other matter. 



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. 



Subscription Credits.— After send- 

 ing subscriptions to this office, we 

 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 the 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 sufficient 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 

 should write to us about it. It will 

 save annoyance and trouble if our 

 subrcribers will give this matter due 

 attention. 



1^ Tlie time for the usual winter 

 rush of correspondence is here, and we 

 wish to impress upon all our patrons 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state What they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post office, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress that we already have on our 

 books.
