The Bee-Keepers' Review 



IF ever a bee-paper was started with a place 

 ready and waiting for it, the Review has 

 had that luck. The first number was welcomed 

 before it was read, and when it was read, it 

 took its place easily and at once among- the 

 things that justify their own existence, and 

 need no probation before being fully and 

 finally accepted. It is an Imitation of none of 

 its cotemporaries, and it is on a level with the 

 best ot them, both In the merit of its general 

 scheme, and in typographical neatness. This, 

 we believe, will be the verdict of the intelli- 

 gent bee-keepioK public, and, ae proof of the 

 correctness of this belief, we append the 

 following, which we select from a large 

 number of similar congratulations : 



1 am greatly pleased with the Review, and think 

 it very creditable. It must take the lead with 

 intelligent bee-keepers.— R.L.TAYLOR,Lapeer,Micb. 



You have made an e.\ceUent start ; and I am very 

 favorably impressed with your plan of making each 

 issue a " special number." — E. M. HATHUR8T, 

 Kansas City, Mo. 



From a practical standpoint you are well qualified 

 to make the venture a success. I hope you may do 

 well financially, and establish and enviable reputa- 

 tion for editorial ability, as you have already as a 

 writer on apioultural topics. — EtJGENE SiCOR. 

 Forest City, Iowa. 



REVIEW No. 1 lies before me, and I must say It is 

 like a chestnut— brimful of meat, properly cooked, 

 and served in flrst-clnss palatable order. Before 

 reading it I thought, "What can friend Hutchinson 

 say that has not already been said by others ?" But 

 you have given us a feast of fat things. If the 

 Review keeps up to the standard of No. i, it has a 

 bright future befure it.— W.E.Clark, Oriskany,N.y. 



I like the Review in every respect. There is more 

 in it than in any other bee-paper I have ever seen ; 

 that is, more real meat, or what is called meat, as J 

 see it. The whole D)attcr, including advertisements, 

 is tastefully arrange l I cannot conceive who would 

 not instantly sub.scribe. at the price, after seeing 

 a copy.— James Heudun, Dowagiac, Mich. 



I congratulate you upon the excellence of the 

 Review. Itwillbe an honor to the craft, and to 

 our State, if you maintain it at the starting pitch— 

 and 1 do not doubt but you will. At first I was sorry. 

 What we want is fewer, better papers. But I forgot 

 for the moment whn was at the helm. I believe you 

 will succeed, and if you do not go to the top, you will 

 stride well up.— A. J. Cook, Agricultural College, 

 Mich. 



A sample copy of the Review is at hand, and I 

 was agreeably surprised, to say the least. As a rule, 

 periodicals in starting furnish at first a sickly, 

 discouraging appearance that stamps /ai[ur« all over 

 them. What a contrast in beholding the Review 1 

 Why, friend Hutchinson, the first glance at it shows 

 its success. And then its contents— the very cream 

 of advanced bee-literuture. I read it through before 

 laying it out of my hand.-E. Kretchmer. Coburg, 

 Iowa. 



Four numbers of the Review have been 

 issued. The' January number diecussee " Dls- 

 lurbing Bees in Wioter ;" the February issue 

 is devoted to "Temperature." as applied to 

 bee-repoeltories : the March number takes up 

 the subject of "Planting for Honey;" while 

 " Spring: Management " is the special topic of 

 the April issue. The special subject of the 

 May Review will be " Hivmg Bees." 



Besides these special discussions, which are 

 carried on by the best bee-keepers of the 

 country, there are several pages in each issue 

 devoted to short, sharp, concise editorials 

 upon current apicultural topics An exhaus- 

 tive review of Mr. Cheshire's book, " Bees and 

 Bee-Keeplng, Vol. II," Is begun in the March 

 Review, and will be finished in the May num- 

 ber If you wish for the cream of this great 

 work, read these three numbers. 



Price of the Review is 50 cents a year. 

 Samples cheerfully sent upon application.
