To new subscribers for 1904 (at $1.00) we will send all

Los Angeles Convention Report of the 



National Bee-Keepers' Association. 



This will be over a quarter of a year's numbers FREE, or 68 copies 

 for only a dollar. Now is the time to subscribe. 



Read what the Weekly American Bee Journal contains : 



Editorial Comments — This department 

 is exactly what its name indicates — Editorial 

 opinioa on a variety of topics, original items, 

 comments, etc. 



Miscellaneous — In this department is 

 found personal items, and anything and every- 

 thing that is not easily classified elsewhere. 

 It is really an Editorial department, and in- 

 variably contains readable and entertaining 

 matter. 



Convention Proceedings— It is the en- 

 deavor of the American Bee Journal to give 

 reports of as many of the bee-keepers' con- 

 ventions as possible, especially those of State 

 and National interest. This is indeed a most 

 valuable feature, bright and helpful, as things 

 are said at conventions by people that would 

 n' ver think of writing out what they know. 

 No other paper attempts to report bee-conven- 

 tions as does the American Bee Journal. 



Contributed Articles — These are writ- 

 ten by the best and most successful bee-keep- 

 ers in the world — those who produce honey ijy 

 the ton. Such men as G. M. Doolittle, C. P. 

 Dadant, L. Stachelhausen, Adrian Getaz, C. 

 Davenport, Prof. A. J. Cook, etc., write for 

 this department. 



Our Bee-Keeping Sisters — This de- 

 partment is only about a year old, and yet it 

 is coming to be of great interest, especially to 

 women bee-keepers. Miss Emma Wilson, who 

 conducts it, is a successful bee-keeper of many 

 years' experience, and knows what will help 

 the women readers as well as others. 



Hasty's Afterthought— This is by E. E. 



Hasty himself. He reviews, and comments 

 upon, what has already appeared in preceding 

 numbers of the Bee Journal, pointing out 

 errors, and also commending what he deems 

 worthy. 



in all 



Dr. Miller's Answers — This is invalu- 

 able to beginners. Here they can have an- 

 swered almost any question on bee-keepintr. 

 Dr. Miller has had over 40 years' experience, 

 so he is able to help others to succeed with 

 bees. 



Some Expert Opinion — This is a mw 

 department, or an old one revived, in which 

 about 25 of the expert bee-keepers of the 

 United States and Canada reply to difficult 

 questiono, or those on which it is desirable t" 

 have the opinion or experience of more than 

 one person. 



From Many Fields— This department 

 contains reports of the season, and small items 

 of great variety, gathered up from almost 

 everywhere. It is interesting reading, and 

 often very practical and helpful. 



Sketches of Beedomites — This is a 

 biographical department We endeavor to 

 give frequent life-sketches of the leaders in 

 bee-keeping, and especially of those who have 

 passed away, and who have been prominent 

 in the work with bees. 



Honey and Beeswax Market — In this 

 are given quotations from the various mar- 

 kets of the United States. No bee-keeper 

 should be without these, in order to decide as 

 to what he should get for his honey when he 

 sells it.

Beedom Boiled Down — This has th • ^^ 

 cream of the current bee-literature of tim mi 

 day. It is an irregular department, appeal intc JS^ 

 when there are items of importance that we 

 feel should be spread before our readers. We 

 are constantly on the lookout for the 

 " cream," and " skim it off " for the benefit 

 of the readers of the American Bee Journal.

The foregoing list of departments is a strong one. We aim to please and help the ex- 

 p,?rt, the less experienced, and also the beginner. And we believe we succeed in doing so in 

 the old American Bee Journal. 



Hadn't ?/ow better send it your subscription to-day, and get inline to handle your bees 

 in a more practical and profitable way next season ? Only $1.00 will pay for it every week to 

 the end of 1904, including all the Los Angeles Convention Report.
