Our Premiums for Clubs. 



Any one sending us a club of two 

 subscribers for 1883, for the Weekly, 

 with $4, will be entitled to a copy of 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, postpaid.

 extra copy of the Weekly Bee Jouk- 

 NAL for one year. 



To get any of the above premiums 

 for the Monthly Bee Jouknal send 

 double the number of subscribers, and 

 the same amount of money. 



Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, 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 

 cents, 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 

 alO!ie will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense— enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



Local Convention Directory. 



1^ The 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 we already have on our books.

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 

 either 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 envelope 

 but should be written on separate 

 pieces of paper.

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 this 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. 



The credit given on THAT 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 

 subscribers will give this matter due 

 attention.

^^ 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. 



Emerson Binders— made especially 

 for the Bee Journal, are lettered in 

 gold on the back, and make a very 

 convenient way of preserving the Bee 

 Journal as fast as received. They 

 will be sent, post-paid, for 7-5 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, .50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



We supply the American Bee tjournal and 



any of the following periodicals, one year, at the 

 prices quoted In the last column of figures. The 

 first column gives the regular price of both. All 

 postage is prepaid by the publishers.
