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 PREjnUJHS FOR CLUBS. 



$10.00 for the largest club received 

 at this office before Feb. 1, 1SS.5 (either 

 of the Weekly, Monthly, or both) ; one 

 Weekly counts same as 4 Monthhes. 



$5.00 for the second largest ; $4.00 

 for the third ; $3.00 for the fourth ; 

 $2.00 for the fifth ; and $1.00 for the 

 sixth largest club. 



All former offers of Premiums are 

 now withdrawn. 



The price of the Weekly Bee Jour- 

 nal for 188.5 is $2.00 for one copy ; 

 $3.80 for two copies (to the same or 

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

 copies ; $7.20 for four copies ; and for 

 five or more copies, $1.75 each. 



We have decided to publish the 

 Monthly Bee Journal for next year 

 of the same size and shape as the 

 Weekly, (which contains about the 

 same amount of reading matter as 

 the present Monthly,) at -50 cents a 

 year; two copies (to the same or dif- 

 ferent post-oflices) for 90 cents ; three 

 copies for $1.30 ; four copies for $1.70 ; 

 five copies for $2.00 ; more than five 

 copies for 40 cents each. The time has 

 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. 



Apiary Register— New Edition. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. The 

 prices will hereafter be as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies 220 pages 1 25 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1 50 



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. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Create a Local Honey Market. 



Now is the time to create Honey 

 Markets in every village, town and 

 city. Wide - awake honey producers 

 should get the Leaflets " Why eat 

 Honey" (only .50 cents per 100), or else 

 the pamphlets on " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine," and scatter them 

 plentifully all over the territory they 

 can supply with honey, and the result 

 will be a demand that will readily take 

 all of their crops at remunerative 

 prices. The prices for "Honey as Food 

 and Medicine " are as follows : 



Single copy 5 cts.; per doz., 40 cts. ; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00 ; or 1000 for 

 $15.00- On orders of 100 or more, 

 we will 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 home, at a good profit. 



^° To give away a copy of " Honey 

 as Food and Medicine " to every one who 

 buys a package of honey, will sell almost 

 any quantity of it. 



1^ Our rates for two or more 

 copies of the book," Bees and Honey," 

 may be found on the Book List on 

 the second page of this paper. Also 

 wholesale rates on all books where 

 they are purchased " to sell again." 

 The time for reading up will soon be 

 here, and in anticipation of this, we 

 now have a very large stock of books 

 on hand, and can fill orders for them 

 in any quantity, on receipt of orders. 



^g" To all new subscribers who 

 send us $2 for the Weekly Bee Jour- 

 nal next year, we will send the rest 

 of the numbers of this year free from 

 the time[the subscription is received 

 at this oftice. 



Offici of The American Bee .Iocknal, j 

 Monday, lua.m., Dec. 8, 1884. ! 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY.— Comb honey haa been taken witl> 

 freedom by the trade this week, but I5f*lfic. is the 

 best price obtiiinuble for a fancy nrticle of comb- 

 huney in frames. Some lots brinw from 14 to l5c. 

 when in pood order. Stock of comb boney i9 not' 

 large at present. E,\triicted, 7@Hc. for new. 



BEESWAX.— For fair to yellow, 28a30c. 



R. A. BnKNETT. 161 South Water St. 



NEW yoRK. 



HONE v.— The market is well stocked with honey 

 which is in good demand at the tollowinK prices: 

 Fancy white comb in 1-lb. sections. ]8@ii0c.: the- 

 Bunie in J-lb nections. lR®18c. : fair to good white- 

 comb in 1 and 2-lb. sections, 14(«j10c. ; fancy buck- 

 wheat comb in 1-lb. sections, 12{*l3c.; same in 2-

BEESWAX. -Prime yellow, SiKSiSlc. 



McCaul & HlLDRETH, 34 Hudson St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— There is an unsatisfactory demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers, while 

 there is a fair inquiry for small packages of clover 

 honey such as dime. X-lb., I-lb..and 2-lb. jars, from 

 the retail trade. Prces are low as arrivals exceed 

 the demand. E.xtracted honey brings ^'auo. on 

 arrival ; choice white comb honey is in fair de-^ 

 mand and sells best in l-lb. sections. It brings 15 

 («.lHc. in the jobbing way. We have iieveral small 

 lots of dark combhoney from parties in Illinois^ 

 and offered it as low as lo and ll cents per lb, 

 without finding a buyer. Dealers most certainly 

 mislead producers bv quoting buckwheat and pop- 

 lar comb honey, if tney are not more successful 

 than we are in disposing of the same. 



BEES *V AX.- The demand is slow and arrivals 

 are few. Good yellow brings 26t<i27c. on arrival.
