Home Market for Honey. 



B^ To create Honey Markets In every 

 Tlllag-e, town and city, wide-awake honey 

 producers should get the Leaflets " Why Eat 

 Honey" (only 50 cents per 100), or else the 

 pamphlets on "Honey as Food and Medicine," 

 and scatter them plentifully, and the result 

 will be a DEMAND for all of their crops at 

 remunerative prices. " Honey as Food and 

 Medicine " are sold at the followlnf? prices : 



Single copy, 5 cts. ; per doz., 40 cts. ; per 

 hundred, $2.50. Five hundred will be sent 



gostpaid for $10.00; or 1,000 for $15,00. 

 n 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). 



To give a«fay a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine" to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell lots of it. 



Yucca Brushes are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not irritate the 

 bees. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any bee-keeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 bandy. We can supply them at 5 cents 

 each, or 50 cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 odd I cent each for postage

Onr Book Premiums.— To encourage 

 all our present readers to get one or more 

 additional subscribers we will present 25 

 cents' worth of books for every new sub- 

 scriber (accompanied with $1 for one year's 

 subscription), sent direct to this office. Thus 

 for five new subscribers with to, the getter 

 up of a club gets S1.25 in valuable reading 

 matter, to be selected by himself from our 

 list on the second page of this paper. It 

 will pay you to devote a few hours to the 

 interests of the Bee Journal. Every one 

 who keeps bees ought to take it. We will 

 furnish sample copies free in any quantity 

 to those who intend to get up clubs. We 

 expect to get 5,000 new subscribers for IBS'. 



Tbe Report of the Indianapolis Conven- 

 tion is now published in pamphlet form, 

 uniform with that of last year. It will be 

 sent postpaid for 25 cents to any address. 



We have also bound it up with last year's, 

 together with the History of the Society ; 

 this we will mail for 40 cents. Or if you 

 send us one new subscriber (with one dollar) 

 besides your own renewal, we will present 

 you with a copy by mall. 



System and Sacceas. 



^F" All who Intend to be syslematio In 

 their work in the apiary, should get a copy of 

 the Apiary Register and commence to use it. 

 the prices are reduced, as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) f 1 00 



" 100 colonies (220 pages) 125 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers, 

 and still keep the record all together in one 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



More Premiums.— Mr. L. J. DIehl, of 

 Butler, Ind., offers a colony of Italian bees 

 as a present to the person sending to this 

 office the largest club of subscribers for 

 1887. The subscriptions may be sent in at 

 any time before the first of May at our regu- 

 lar club rates, and additions made as de- 

 sired, but it must be stated that you are 

 working for that premium, so that we can 

 keep account of the subscriptions. 



As a premium to the second largest club 

 we will send my mail, postpaid, a copy of 

 the '■ Farm Account Book," worth $.3. The 

 postage is 20 cents. 



We Keep tbls Notice standing all the 

 year round : " Always give the name of the 

 Postoffice to which your paper is addressed. 

 Tour name cannot be found on our list un- 

 less this is done," and yet many ask us to 

 change their address without even mention- 

 ing to what Postoffice it has heretofore been 

 sent. It often costs us more to find their 

 old address than they pay for the Bee Jour- 

 nal for a year ; as we may have to examine 

 our subscription lists in every State, Prov- 

 ince and Territory in North America. Please 

 be more careful in the future, and never 

 omit your name, Postofflce, county and 

 State. 



A Ne«f Crate to hold one dozen one-pound 

 sections of honey.— It has a strip of glass on 

 each side, to allow the honey to be seen. It 

 is a light and attractive package. As it holds 

 but one tier of sections, no damage from the 

 drippings from an upper tier can occur. We 

 can furnish the material, ready to nail, for 

 9 cts. per crate. Glass 13ic. per light, extra. 



Red Labels for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size 3x4'/5 inches. — We have Just
