American Bee Journalism
(Page 2 of 2)
July/August 1973
By the Mother Earth News editors
If the future problem of Brazilian infiltrators doesn't put you off the idea of setting up a couple of colonies—and we hope it doesn 't—you can hardly do better than join the many hobbyists and backlot beekeepers who read American Bee Journal. The ad section alone will help you get started by telling you where to buy queens and workers of various breeds, what firms in your area supply apiary equipment, who is willing to hire an apprentice beekeeper and which other publications you can look to for advice. And, after your stock arrives, you'll find ABJ a valuable source of practical hints on its care.

If you have questions that aren't covered in the magazine's regular articles, the ABJ staff may be able to give you some special aid in their question-and-answer column, "The Classroom°" . . . a good solution for the novice who has no "old hand" nearby to take his problems to.
Finally, even if you haven't succumbed to the fascination of beekeeping you'll still enjoy another regular feature of this apiarist's monthly: a page of honey recipes developed, tested and contributed by readers. Cooking with natural sweetening can be tricky, and—if you're trying to wean your family from refined sugar—you'll find it much easier to work with original recipes than to convert the measurements of a standard cookbook.
The homesteader who wants a healthful answer to his sweet tooth—and maybe some extra cash as well—will find that $4.00 laid out on a year of the American Bee Journal is money well spent. $7.25 will bring you the magazine for two years, and $10.00 buys a three-year subscription (Canadian and foreign orders 75 cents extra per year). The address: Hamilton, Illinois 63241. Tell 'em MOTHER sent you.—JN.
