. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. THE. tt Jflttptl, §j @> « : [No. 97. Vol. IX.] .MAY. 1881. [Published Monthly.] OEtntnriai, Hotucs, fa. MAY. To-day we commence our ninth year of public service with this Journal; and in thanking- our patrons and friends for their many kindnesses in the past, we trust the straightforward course which the Journal has hitherto pursued in the interest of bee-culture generally will secure for it their continued confidence and favour. Press of matter prevents our wandering from the business lines that have the strongest claims to attention, but we cannot open a new- volume without alluding to the vast improvements that have taken place in bee-keeping since the Journal came into existence, and expressing a hope that our subscribers, in recognition of its helpfulness, will give it their hearty support and recommendation. To our contributors we tender our most grate- ful thanks, for by their help, cheerfully, and (without exception) voluntarily, given, the bee- keeping world has been kept informed on all the topics which, through individual exertion, have so greatly advanced the science of bee- culture, and enable it to assume a position amongst the industries of Great Britain and Ireland that its most sanguine promoters scarcely dreamed of ten vears aeo. For ourselves, we promise to do our best to deserve what it is not in mortal to commandâ Sua ess !

So much will be found in other columns in respect
