Additional Information

In 1911, The American Bee Journal's offices were located at 117 N. Jefferson St. in Chicago.  One of their associated publications that year was Bees and Honey: First Lessons in Bee-Keeping by Thomas Gabriel Newman. This guide was published by George W. York & Co., former owner of the American Bee Journal.

The American Bee Journal was founded in 1861.  The journal was purchased by Camille Pierre Dadant in 1912 and was moved to Hamilton, Illinois.  Camille Pierre Dadant was the son of French-American beekeeper, business-owner, and apiologist Charles Dadant.  Dadant & Sons Inc. continues to produce beekeeping supplies in addition to publishing The American Bee Journal from Hamilton, Illinois.
