THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW, 



213 



THE "REVIEW." 



The distinctive features of the Bee-Keepers' 

 Review are that of reviewing current apicultural 

 literature (pointing out errors and fallacies and 

 allowing nothing of value to pass unnoticed), and 

 the making of each issue a "special number" — 

 one in which some special topic is discussed by 

 the best bee-keepers of the country. If you wisli 

 for the cream of the other journals, already skim- 

 med and dished up, and to learn the views of tlie 

 most experienced bee-keei)ers upon the unsolved, 

 apicultural problems of the day, read the Review. 

 Price of the Review, ."iO cts. a year. Samples free. 



"The Production of Comb Honey." 



Although this neat little book contains only 45 

 pages, it furnishes as much practical, valuable in- 

 formation as is often found in a book of twice its 

 size. It is "boiled down." 



It begins with taking the bees from the cellar 

 and goes over the ground lirief ly, clearly and con- 

 cisely, until the honey is off the liives; toucliing 

 upon the most important points; and especially 

 does it teach when, where and how foundation 

 can be used to tlie liest advantage; wlien combs 

 are preferable and when it is inore profitable to 

 allow the bees to build their own combs. It tells 

 how to hive a swarm in an empty broodnest, and 

 yet secure more honey than when foundation is 

 used. Price of the book, 2.5 cents. 



SPECIAL OrPER. 



For 65 cts. we will send the Review one year 

 and "The Production of Oomb Honey." For 

 $1.00 we will send the Review two years and the 

 " Production of comb Honey." 



Back Numbers at 2 and 3 Cents. 



Of most of the issues of the Review we have 

 several hundred copies. Instead of keeping 

 them stowed away in the attic several years, and 

 finally selling them as waste-paper, we propose 

 to have them out doing good; have them lieliiiiig 

 bee-keepers and, at the same time, be making 

 known the Review. So long as the supply lasts, 

 we will sell them at two and three cents per 

 copy. Three cents if you pick them out ; two, if 

 W^ pick them out. The reason why we make a 

 difference, in price, is this : Some three or four 

 issues have run so low that we would not care to 

 sell them at less than three cents a copy. We 

 would mention which are the three-cent issues, 

 were it not that some other number will soon 

 "run low "and be added to the three-cent list, 

 and then another, and so on. If you wish for 

 certain issues, send three cents apiece, and tell 

 which numbers are desired, and you will get 

 them, if you don't wait too long. If you don't care 

 which numbers you get, then simply send what- 

 ever sum of money you think best, and say ; "For 

 the enclosed, please send back numbers of the 

 Review." and we will send as many numbers as 

 we can at two cents each, and send no two that 

 are alike. If the amount sent pays for more 

 numbers than we care to sell at two cents each, 

 the lialance will be returned, or else the sender 

 notified and asked what sliall be done with it. 



Remember, each number is complete in itself ; 

 is, in reality, a little pamphlet containing the 

 best that is known upon some important, api- 

 cultural subject. 



Stamps taken, either U. S. or Canadian.
