Cyprians Conquered. 



All summer long it has been " which 

 and tother " with me and the Cyprian 

 colony of bees I have— but at last I 

 am "boss." Bingham's " Conqueror 

 Smoker " did it. If you want lots of 

 smoke just at the right time, get a 

 Conqueror Smoker of JJiugham.

1^ We have received a photographic 

 view of " Rose Hill Apiary," Belle- 

 ville, 111., " with the compliments of 

 E. T. Flanagan, proprietor." It pre- 

 sents a nice view, and hangs on our 

 office wall. 



^"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. 



i^May we ask you, dear reader, to 

 speak a good word for the Bee Jour- 

 nal to neighbors who keep bees, and 

 send on at leust one new subscription 

 with your own V Our premium, " Bees 

 and Honey," in cloth, for one new sub- 

 scriber to the Weekly, or two for the 

 Monthly, besides your own subscrip- 

 tion to either edition, will pay you for 

 your trouble, besides having the satis- 

 faction of knowing that you have 

 aided the Bee Journal to a new 

 subscriber, and progressive apiculture 

 to another devotee. 



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 

 Dublication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelope 

 but on separate pieces of paper.

 ers' Association will meet at Manhat- 

 tan, Kansas, on June 30, 1883.
