Aids from Bee- yournals. 1 1 



American Bee-yournal. — This is the oldest American 

 bee paper, and the only weekly journal devoted exclusively 

 to bee-keeping in the United States. It was founded by 

 the late Samuel Wagner, whose breadth of culture, strength 

 of judgment, and practical and historical, knowledge of 

 bee-keeping were remarkable. Even to-day those early 

 volumes of this paper are very valuable parts of any bee- 

 keeper's library. Mr. Newman, the present editor, is a 

 life-long printer, and ever alive to the best interests of bee- 

 keepers. The contributors to the American Bee Journal 

 are the successful bee-keepers of America, and so this jour- 

 nal has a wide influence. It is edited by Thomas G. New- 

 man, Chicago, Illinois, at $i.oo a year. 



Gleanings in Bee Culture. — This semi-monthly jour- 

 nal, which has just completed its i8th volume, has shown 

 great vigor and energy from its very birth. It 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 to Mr. Root than to any other one person, except 

 Rev. L. L. Langstroth. I also think that, with few excep- 

 tions, he has done more for the recent advancement of 

 practical apiculture than any other person in our country. 

 This sprightly journal is edited by A. I. Root, Medina, 

 Ohio. Price $i.oo a year. 



Canadian Bee Journal. — This excellent periodical, 

 though published across the line, is worthy of high praise 

 and patronage, not only for its intrinsic excellence, but also 

 from the fact that D. A.Jones is one of its editors. His 

 ability, enterprise, and long and successiEul experience are 

 just the qualities to make a successful editor. Perhaps no 

 bee-keeper in the world has sacrificed more in the way of 

 time and money, and received' less for it than the editor of 

 this journal. This is a bi-monthly journal, and is published 

 by the D. A. Jones Co., Beeton, Ontario, Canada, at 75 

 cents a year. 



Bee-Reefers' Guide. — This paper has been one of the 

 motive powers in the advancement of apiculture for the 

 last few years. It is edited by an experienced bee-keeper, 

 and is doing its part as one of the auxiliaries to apiarian 

 progress in our country. It is edited by A. G. Hill, Ken- 

 dallville, Indiana. Price 50 cents a year.
