waehtub full, four 10-gallon cans, -' large 

 dishpans, and 5 pailf. Now this may sound 

 "fishy " to some, but I have a picture of it 

 before it was talien out, and the comb is in 

 plain view. 



I have taken honey out of 7 houses this fall, 

 and li of them averaged about 100 pounds 

 each. I have my bees in sheds, and pack 

 them in leaves for winter. I have done so 

 for several years, and find it the best place I 

 have ever tried. 



Now about red clover queens in this State: 

 When red clover has small heads we all must 

 have red clover queens for they work on it 

 splendidly. 



Well, I cannot handle bees without the 

 American Bee .Journal. H. Gilbert.

Poorest Honey Season Ever Known. 



The past season here was the poorest for 

 honey that I have ever known. King Solomon 

 said that what has been will be again; but I 

 do not want another poor season like the past, 

 to be again. B. F. Stone.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.\KKKT QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, Jan. s.— The new year opens with 

 a quiet trade iu honey, retailers havin^f usually 

 a supply from the stock laid in to make a (food 

 show at the holiday time. Prires are without 

 essential chang^e in No. 1 to fancy comb, which 

 brings about 13c; very little doing in off grades 

 at from l(ai3c less. Extracted, white grades, 

 bring from 6(§i7c, according to flavor and other 

 qualities; ambers about Ic less; especially 

 weak are those lacking in flavor and body. 

 Beeswax steady at 28@30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Jan. S. —The market on comb 

 honey has weakened, aa the supply has been 

 larger than the demand. Fancy water-white, 

 14c; off grades, lower. Extracted, amber, in 

 barrels, 55i@5^c; in fiO-lb. cans, %c more; al- 

 fa.lfa, water-white, 6@6Mc; fancy white clover, 

 7®8c. Beeswax, good demand; 30c for nice. 

 C.H. W. Weber. 



Philadelphia, Dec. 10.— I^arge lots of comb 

 honey being offered from States that were not 

 supposed to have much stock. Bee-men, as 

 usual, wake up now to the tact that they want 

 to sell their comb honey and push it on the 

 market, thus breaking the price. If they would 

 only offer their honey in September, they would 

 get more for it and it would be better for the 

 producer and dealer. We quote fancy white 

 14@16c; No. 1, 12(atl4c; buckwheat, 12c. Fancy 

 extracted, 8c; amber, 6@7c. We arc producers 

 of honey, and do not handle on commission. 



Wm. a. Selsej«. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 15.— Market ^ery dull, 

 and lower since the cold weather. Quotations 

 have to be shaded, and concessions made to ef- 

 fect any quantity sales. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, Nov. 2^.— The demand for comb 

 honey is slower now than it was six weeks ago, 

 owing to the enormous quantities offered on all 

 sides. Fancy comb is sold in single case lots 

 at 14c. The supply of extracted honey is big, 

 although the demand is good. We are selling 

 amber extracted in barrels at 5^i(g'6!^c. White 

 clover, in barrels and cans, 7H@S>^c, according 

 to quality. Beeswax, 33c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Boston, Dec. 21.— The demand for honey con- 

 tinues good, with an ample supply of comb, and 

 a light supply of extracted., We quote our 

 market as follows: Fancy white comb, 16@17c; 

 No. 1, 14@15c; and practically no No. 2 to offer. 

 Extracted, 7(&xc, as to quality, 



Blake, Scott & Lhe. 



Kansas City, Dec. 30.— Instead of our honey 

 market improving, it has grown worse as far 

 as comb is concerned. The receipts have in- 

 creased and fancy comb and No. 1 have been 

 sold as low as $Z-SO per case of 24 sections. We 

 do not look for any improvement in prices be- 

 fore February, if then. We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, 24 section case?, $2 6U; No. 1, $2.50; 

 No. 2, $240. Extracted, white, per lb., 7@7Kc; 



New York, Dec. 4.— Comb honey is arriving 

 in suflScient quantities to supply the demand» 

 and, as to the quality, most of the white honey 

 seems to be off color, more or less. We quote 

 fancy white at 14c; No. 1 at 13c; amber, ll^l2c; 

 and buckwheat, 10c. Extracted, light amber, 

 at 6c; white, 6'/2c; Southern, 55fS)60c per gallon; 

 buckwheat, 5!^c. Beeswax. 28@29c. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Dec. 16.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 frames, 13@14 cents; amber, 9@llc. Extracted, 

 white, S}i@(jc\ light amber, 4J^@5c; amber, 

 4@4J4c; dark amber, 3^i@4c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 2754@29c; dark, 2S@26c. 



Demand is not brisk and is mainly for the 

 choicest and most ordinary, or for water-white 

 and for dark honey. The latter is in moderate 

 request from bakers for honey-cakes, which 

 serves for this purpose as well as light honey, 

 and is given the preference on account of cheap- 

 ness. Present stocks are largely medium am- 

 ber grades and these are moving slowly.
