THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



The distinctive feataree of the Bee - Keepebs' Review are those of reviewing current 

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

 unnoticed) and the making of " special numbers "—those in which special topics are discussed 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. Published monthly at $1.00 a year.

W^HA^T OTHERS SA_Y. 



^^ O. H. TOVrtSE/HD, Alamo, Mich., writes : 



" never waited here for any other 



paper to be read until the Review commenced 

 coming." 



ARTHUR C. iAiLLER, Providence, R. I., 

 writes tliat " tliere is no paper the coming of 

 which I look forward to, or miss so much wlien 

 over-duo, as that of the Review, and I take 

 nearly all the bee papers published in the Eng- 

 lish language, as well as several other ueriodi- 

 cals." 



O. 5. COA\PTOyH, Goshen, Ind., writes : 

 " The Review lias been worth— well, I will not 

 attempt to place a value upon it— but this much 

 I must say, it is looked for days before its time 

 and no matter how many otlier bee papers or 

 oven letters are received at the same time, the 

 Review is opened first." 



" A<Ivjvpc«<l Bee Culture" (see advertisement on another page) and the Review for one year 

 for $1.25. Stamps taken, either U. 8. or Canadian. W. Z. HUTCHINSON, FLINT, MiCH. 



S. Pi. RUSSEL.L., New Market, Canada, 

 says: "'lam pleased with the Review, as you 

 have such a happy manner of stating practical 

 facts without so much of this ' what may have 

 been done, or what we might have tried if our 

 patient had not died.' " 



C. K. BiXLER, Hoyt, Iowa, writes as fol- 

 lows : "1 think the Review away ahead of any 

 bee paper I read, and I read several. It is cer- 

 tainly pure and clean and free from mud-sling- 

 ing ; while, from a literary point of view, it 

 stands above every other bee paper. I was glad 

 when Dr. Miller induced you to give up that "we." 



When the Review started I tliouglit it was to 

 be simply a Hoddon hive circular, but I am glad 

 to say 1 was mistaken. You sometimes give the 

 hive a lift, but such action is all riglit if the hive 

 IS the "ne plus ultra," which I am beginning to 

 believe."
