THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



p=rT=^ 



ru7 



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

 apicaltural 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.

 1989 No., which is twenty cents, there being only a few copies left. Of volume 111 there is a fair 

 supply, and the price is four cents a copy. With volume IV the Review was enlarged and the price 

 raised to $1.00. Copies of volume IV are eight cents each. Remember that each number is, in one 

 sense, a little pamphlet giving the views of the best bee-keepers upon the topic named. 



^^ O. H. TOWWSEWD, Alamo, Mich., writes : 



never waited here for any other 



paper to be read until the Review commenced 

 coming." 



ARTHUR C. VA't-LER, Providence, R. I., 

 writes tliat " there is no paper the coming of 

 which I look forward to, or miss so much when 

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

 nearlyall the bee papers published in the Eng- 

 lish language, as well as .several other periodi- 

 cals." 



O. 5. COr\PTON, Goshen, Ind., writes : 

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

 attempt to place a vtduo upon it— but this much 

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

 and no matter how many other bee papers or 

 even letters are received at the same time, the 

 Review is opened first." 



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 ' wliat may have 

 been done, or wliat we might have tried if oar 

 patient had not died.' " 



C. K. BIXUER, 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 thought it was to 

 be simply a Hoddon hive circular, but I am glad 

 to say 1 was miatjiken. You sometimes give the 

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

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

 believe."
