TRE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW^. 



t=|]=^rur][3 



=:i 



The distinctive features of the Bee - Keepehs' Review are those of reviewing current 

 apicultural literature (pointing out errors and fallacies and allowing nothing of value to pass unno- 

 ticed), and the making of each issue a "special number "—one in which some special topic is dis- 

 cussed by the best bee-keepers of the country. If you wish for the cream of the other journals, 

 already skimmod and dished up, and to learn the views of t)ie most experienced bee-keepers upon the 

 unsolved, apicultural problems of the day, read the Review. Price of the Review, §1.00.

As the supply of volumes I. and II. is quite limited, the price is five cents a copy, except for the 

 Jan, 1889 No., which is ten cents, there being only a few copies left. Of volume III. there is a fair 

 supply, and the price is four cents a copy. Remember that each number is, in one sense, a little 

 pamphlet giving the views of the best bee-keepers upon the topic mentioned. 



AV^HA^T OTHERS SAY. 



The Review is not very mucli given to the pub- 

 lication of " testimonials," but, as this issue will 

 fall into the hands of many who have never seen. 

 a copy, it may be well to allow them to see in 

 what estimation it is held by some of its older 

 readers. 



PROF. COOK says" You are giving us a 

 SPLliiNDlD paper." 



ERNESTROOT writes : ' ' The last Review 

 was a good one, as usual. As an editor you are 

 a success." 



WM. F. CLARKE writes: "The Review 



fills a niche all its own, and has fairly earned the 

 riglit to live. It more nearly comes up to my 

 idea] of what an apicultural journal should be 

 than any other, and I think it well represents the 

 best thought of our most advanced bee-keepers." 



G. M. DOOLITTLE SEiys : "I wish to say 

 that i coiiHidci- II le Nov. Kkview a wonderful pro- 

 duction. There is something inspiring and ele- 



vating in every paragraph. Don't know that 1 

 could add to it, and there is nothing 1 would 

 have left out. You have certainly placed the Re- 

 view where no live, practical bee-keeper can do 

 without it. Each number is worth the price of a 

 year's subscription." 



EUGENE SECOR writes as follows : "1 

 have just laid down the Review for Sep. What 

 a delightful, chatty spirit pervades your editori- 

 als. I want to encourage you in your work. I 

 presume you get enough criticism, even if you do 

 not deserve it. It is no easy task, I believe, for 

 an editor to publish a journal like yours— so 

 nearly always right, and in such a kind sp rit to- 

 wards all. I congratuh t:> you. I believe that ed- 

 itors, like oiators, are born, not made. Many a 

 man, educated to the printer's trade from boy- 

 hood up, ftiils topresentso clean a sheet as yours. 

 Few proof readers, devoting all their time to that 

 one branch of buhiness, leave so few eirors unde- 

 tected. Rarely do editors, who dream they are 

 born t") write, excel your style in clearness and 

 force."
