THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



t^Tpyu 



Li 



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

 apicultnral 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 skimmed and dished up, and to learn the views of the 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. 



A\rHA^T OTHERS SA'Y^. 



The Review is not very much 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 

 SPLENDID paper." 



ERNEST ROOT 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 

 right to live. It more nearly comes up to my 

 ideal 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 says : "I wish to say 

 that I consider the Nov. Review 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 : "I 

 have just laid down tlie Review for Sep. What 

 a delightful, cliatty spirit pervades your editori- 

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

 presume you get enough criticism, even if you do 

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

 an editor to publish a journal like yours— so 

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

 wards all. I congratulote you. I believe that ed- 

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

 man, educated to the i)rinter's trade from boy- 

 hood up, fails to present !^o clean a sheet as yours. 

 Few proof readers, devoting all their time to that 

 one branch of business, leave so few errors unde- 

 tected. Rarely do editors, who dream tliey are 

 born to write, excel your style in clearness and 

 force "
