REKEHENCES.-t Indettnite figures. 



* Undeiided. on atcount of poor season, 

 s Preference for comb honey, 

 t Making a quantity more for use. 



In all, there are 79 answers from persons 

 having 2,183 of these hives in use ; of which 

 as prefer the " New Hive ;" on account of 

 the unpropitiousness of the past season, 16 

 have not decided upon its merits ; while 

 preferring it for the production of comb 

 honey, 6 cannot decide upon its adaptability 

 for the production ot extracted honey ; and 

 •■5 prefer some other hive. 



It must be understood that this is not here 

 given in the interest of any person, but for 

 the information of bee-keepers in general. 



It is Extravagant Economy not 



to have hives, sections, comb foundation, 

 etc., on hand when nee<led. To prevent 

 disappointment, order early what you will 

 need in that line. Then the hives can be 

 nailed and painted In odd times, and the 

 sections put together, so as to be ready at a 

 minute's notice. It is a sad disappointment 

 to need these things and then not have 

 them on hand. They should be ordered 

 iniiuediately. 



AlAvays Sleution your Post-Offlce, 

 County and State when writing to this 

 office. No matter where you may happen 

 to be for the hour when actually writing — 

 never mention anything but your perma- 

 nent address. To do otherwise leads to 

 confusion, unless you desire your address 

 changed. In that case state the old as well 

 as the new address. 



PhotogT^plis ot Bee-Keepers. — 



The " medley " gotten up by E. 0. Tuttle, 

 containing the faces of 131 representative 

 apiarists, and a printed sketch of each one, 

 will be sent with the Bee Journal for one 

 year for 81.7-') ; or we will present it free, by 

 mail, to any one, for a club of three subscri- 

 bers and 83.00. 



, Yucca Itriislies, for removing bees 

 from the combs, are a soft, vegetable fiber, 

 and do not irritate the bees. We supply 

 them at .5 cents each, or .50 cents a dozen ; if 

 sent by mail, add 1 cent each for postage. 



Scatter tlie leaflets.— Look at the 

 list (with prices) on the second page. 



A Pocket IMotionary will be pre- 

 sented for two subscribers with 82.00. It is 

 always useful to have a dictionary at hand 

 to decide as to the spellmg of words, and to 

 determine their meaning. 



Your Full Address, plainly written, 

 is very essential in order to avoid mistakes 

 and delays.
