Texas Beekeeping. 



139 



Three journals, exclusively devoted to beekeeping, are published 

 in the United States. While either one may be selected, if only one 

 is to be chosen, all of them may well be subscribed for, and that with- 

 out fear of finding a repetition of the same subject matter in two or 

 more of them. While they all seek to cover the same ground, in 

 general, the scope of beekeeping is so broad, the field such an ex- 

 tensive one, and the subjects so large in number, that a great vaneiy 

 of instructive matter is furnished to those who read them all. 



Amebican Bee Journal. Published at Hamilton, 111. The oldest 

 bee journal in America. A well illustrated monthly, at $1 a year. 



Gleanings in Bee Culture. Published at Medina, 0. Profusely 

 illustrated and issued semi-monthly, at $1 per annum. 



Beekeeper's Review. Published at Detroit, Mich. An illustrated 

 journal especially valuable for the advanced beekeeper. Monthly, 

 $1 per year. 



The two first named bee journals each have a "Southern Depart- 

 ment," edited by the author of this bulletin. The purpose of this 

 feature is to make them better suited for beekeepers of the South. 



BINDING publications. 



Preserving the various periodicals pertaining to beekeeping for 

 future reference is a valuable item that should be considered more 

 by beekeepers. It is too often found that the bee journals are de- 



stroyed as soon as they have been read. If the numbers of eae> 

 yearly volume are kept together in a suitable way, they prove to b*- 

 very helpful whenever it becomes necessary to refer to articles c-02
