It is with great regret we have to in- form our readers of a rise in price of The British Bee Journal. From January 1 the price will be twopence, instead of one penny. We are one of the very few papers which, up to the present, have made no advance in price, but force of circum- stances compel us reluctantly to take this course. * Paper is very difficult to obtain, even at its present price, which is 650 per cent, more than pre-war prices. In all other departments our expenses have greatly increased and are continually mounting up at a tremendous pace. Pressure brought to bear upon the masters by the union of compositors has led to continual rises in cost of printing. In one department only during the past few months rises of 25 per cent., 15 per cent., and 12^ per cent, have taken place on numerous preceding ones. In fact, post- age stamps are the only things that have not advanced in price.

We shall at the first possible moment revert to our usual price. We shall be greatly obliged if those readers whose subscriptions expire during 1918, will send cash to cover the extra Id. per week, or let us know if we are to adjust the number of Journals sent to those covered by the subscription already received. Owing to the Christmas holidays, we shall be obliged to go to press several days earlier than usual with our issue for December 27, therefore advertisements for that issue must reach us by Friday, December 21.
