Atds from Bee-Periodicals. 11 
American Bee Journal.—This is the oldest American bee- 
paper, and the only weekly journal devoted exclusively to bee- 
keeping in the United States. It was founded in 1861, by the 
late Samuel Wagner, whose breadth of culture, strength of 
judgment, and practical and historical knowledge of bee-keep- 
ing were remarkable. Even to-day those early volumes of this 
paper are very valuable parts of any bee-keeper’s library. 
Under the able management of Mr. Thomas G. Newman, the 
late editor, the paper made great and continuous advance- 
ment. The contributors to the ‘‘American Bee Journal” are 
the successful bee-keeper’s of America, and soit has a wide 
influence. It is now edited by George W. York, whose skill, 
enterprise and ability, give rich promise that this journal will 
not only remain at the front, but will continue to advance in 
all that is of value and interest to bee-keepers. The pubiish- 
ers are George W. York & Co., 118 Mich. St., Chicago, III. 
Subscription price, $1.00 a year. 
Gleanings in Bee Culture.—This semi-monthly journal, 
which has just completed its 26th volume, has shown great 
vigor and energy from its very birth. Its editor is an active 
apiarist, who is constantly experimenting; a terse, able writer, 
and brimful of good nature and enthusiasm. I am free to say 
that in practical apiculture I am more indebted te Mr. Root 
than to any other one person, except Rev. L. L. Langstroth. 
I also think that, with few exceptions, he has done more for 
the recent advancement of practical apiculture than any other 
person in our country. This sprightly and beautifully illus- 
trated journal is edited by A. I. Root, Medina, Ohio. Price 
$1.00 a year. 
Canadian Bee Journal.—This excellent periodical, though 
published across the line, is worthy of high praise and patron- 
age. Mr. D. A. Jones was its founder, and his ability, enter- 
prise, and Jong and successful experience gave this paper great 
prestige. Perhaps no bee-keeper in the world has sacrificed 
more in the way of time and money, and received less for it, 
than has Mr. Jones. Thisisa monthly journal, and is published 
by the Goold, Shapley & Muir Co., Ltd., Brantford, Ont., at 
$1.00 a year. It is edited by Mr. R. F. Holtermann, one of 
our best writers in apiculture, and one of our most successful 
and most able bee-keepers.
