The Bee Journal for 1885. 



Premiums, $25.00 in Casli. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following 



CASH PRESnTJJIS FOE CLUBS.

 at this office before Feb. 1, 1885 (either

 for the third ; $3.00 for the fourth ; 

 $2.00 for the flfth ; and $1.00 for the

 nal for 1885 is $2.00 for one copy ; 

 $3.80 for two copies (to the same or 

 different post-offices) ; $5..50 for three

 Monthly Bee Journal for next year

 same amount of reading matter as 

 the present Monthly,) at 50 cents a 

 year; two copies (to the same or dif- 

 ferent post-offices) for 90 cents ; three 

 copies for $1.30 ; four copies for $1.70 ; 

 five copies for $2.00 ; more than five

 been extended on all portions of next 

 year, which have been paid for at the 

 rate of $1.00. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



New Subscribers for the Monthly for 

 1885 will have all the numbers for 1884 

 free that are published after the sub- 

 scriptions are received at this office.

Trial Subscribers.— The Weekly 

 Bee Journal will be sent to any neio 

 subscriber in North America from now 

 until the end of 1884 for 25 cents. 

 This offer is intended to aid those who 

 are getting up clubs at Fairs, Conven- 

 tions, etc., and should add several 

 thousand to our readers during the 

 next month. 



Igg" My advertisement in the American 

 Bee Journal brought all the orders that I 

 wanted, and many more than I could fill, 

 except for selected breedincf-Queens. We 

 have had heavy rains and tlie weather is 

 intensely hot. I fear the rains are too late 

 to help our bees much. G. W. Demakee.
