 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. 



Examine the Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which you have paid your 

 .subscription on the Bee Journal. 



Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, on 

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

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



1^ 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. 



i^°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. 



^ Our new location, No. 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. 



Honey as Food and Mediciue. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in whicli 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- 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of lOO 

 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. 



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^ When writing to this office on 

 business, our correspondents should 

 not write anything for publication on 

 the same sheet of paper, unless it can 

 be torn apart without interfering with 

 ejiher portion of the letter. The edi- 

 torial and business departments are 

 separate and distinct, and when the 

 business is mixed up with items for 

 publication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelop© 

 but should be written on separate 

 pieces of paper. 



1^ Do not let your numbers of the 

 Bee Journal for 1882 be lost. The 

 best way to preserve them is to pro- 

 cure a binder and put them in. They 

 are very valuable for reference. 



Advertisements intended for the Bee 

 Journal must reach this office by 

 Saturday of the previous week. 



Bee Pasturage a Necessity.— We have- 

 just issued a new pamphlet giving our 

 views on this important subject, with 

 suggestions what to plant, and when 

 and how. It is illustrated with 26 en- 

 gravings, and will be sent postpaid to 

 any address for 10 cents.
