 ifrom items of business.

 paper; it indicates t^e end of the

Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, on 

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

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



i^"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. 



^" Attention is called to a few 

 changes in our clubbing list for 1883, 

 as given on this page. Those inter 

 ested will please take notice. 



1^ We carefully mail the Bee 

 Journal to every subscriber, but 

 should any be lost in the mails we will 

 cheerfully send another, if notified 

 before all the edition is exhausted. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A newedition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cenfs, postpaid; per dozen,. 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we 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. 



■^Renewals may be made at any 

 time ; but all papers are stopped at 

 the expiration of the time paid for, 

 unless requested to be continued. 



1^" Our new location, Ko. 925 West 

 Madison St., is only a few doors from 

 the new branch postofflce. We have 

 a telephone and any one in the city 

 wishing to talk to us through it will 

 please call for No. 7087— that being 

 our telephone number. 



The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies 220 pages 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 2 00 



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. 



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.

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when
