Our Premiums for Clubs. 



How to Create a Market for Honey. 



We have now published another 

 edition of the pamphlet on "Honey as 

 Food and Medicine," with more new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still lower, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00, or 1,000 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. 

 Try it, and you will be surprised. 



Any one sending us a club of two 

 subscribers for 1 year, for the Weekly, 

 with $4, will be entitled to a copy of 

 Bees and Honey, in cloth, postpaid. 



For three subscribers, with $6, we 

 will send Cook"s Manual, in paper, 

 Emerson's Binder for the Weekly, or 

 Apiary Register for 50 colonies.

 extra copy of the Weekly Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year. 



To get any of the above premiums 

 for the Monthly Bee Journal send 

 double the number of subscribers, and 

 the same amount of money. 



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 75 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, 50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



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. 



Subscription Credits.— We do not 

 acknowledge receipt of each subscrip- 

 tion by letter. The label on your 

 paper, or on the wrapper, shows the 

 date to which your subscription is 

 paid. When you send us money, if 

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within two weeks thereafter, on your 

 label, notify us by postal card. Do 

 not wait for montlis or years, and 

 then claim a mistake. The subscrip- 

 tion is paid to the end of the month 

 indicated on the wrapper-label. This 

 gives a statement of account every 

 week.

 with your own V Our premium, " Bees 

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

Mrs. J. F. Upton gives the follow- 

 ing notice of this book in the Bath, 

 Maine, Sentinel : 



A guide to the management of the 

 apiary for profit and pleasure, by 

 Thomas G. Newman. This work is 

 designed to initiate beginners in bee- 

 keeping in all the secrets of success- 

 ful bee-culture. Beginning with the 

 different races of bees, the author 

 takes his readers along step by step, 

 carefully explaining the different 

 kinds of bees, illustrating each kind 

 with the eggs and brood, explaining 

 the terms used, the production of wax 

 and comb, and the work done by 

 these wonderful insects. The estab- 

 lishment of an apiary is next con- 

 sidered ; the best location, time to 

 commence, how many colonies to be- 

 gin with, what kind of bees to get, 

 how to care for a first colony, keeping 

 bees on shares, changing the location, 

 all of which it is indispensable for a 

 beginner to know. It is also impor- 

 tant to know which kind of hive is 

 the best, how to procure the best comb 

 honey, how to procure it for market, 

 how it should be marketed, what to 

 do with candied comb honey, and howj 

 to extract honey. The scientific man- 

 agement of an apiary is then entered 

 into, and illustrations of all the nec- 

 essary applicances introduced. There 

 is a chapter devoted to the honey ex- 

 tractor and its use, and another to 

 comb foundation and its use. The 

 various honey-producing plants and 

 trees are named and illustrated. 

 Various methods for exhibiting bees 

 and honey at county and state fairs 

 are described. The best and safest 

 plans for wintering bees are discussed, 

 the book closing with some general 

 advice to beginners. The author sajjs 

 of his book on Bees and Honey, " it 

 was not designed to supersede or sup- 

 plant any of the valuable works on 

 apiculture already published, but to 

 supply a want for a cheap work for the 

 beginners." We most cordially rec- 

 ommend this work not only to begin- 

 ners, who will find it invaluable, but 

 to all who are not already familiar 

 with the lives and movements of 

 tliese industrious and intelligent 

 little workers. The information to be 

 gained as to their habits, manner of 

 breeding, intelligence, energy and 

 wonderful instincts, by reading this 

 book alone, is enough to make one 

 regard the bee with admiration and 

 amazement.
