thing, I think where there are 50 colonies of 

 bees they go further for honey thau 'J or 'A 

 colonies would. When I had a few colonies 

 of bees I did not notice them working on 

 liasswood 2 miles distant, but when the num- 

 bdr was from 40 to t>0 they kept up such a 

 stream of bees going and coming that a young 

 bee had no difficulty in circulating around 

 and finding the stream of bees the long dis- 

 tance they were going. 



I am building a bee-house 7x40 feet, as my 

 bees are located near a small mill, and water- 

 snakes and frogs are continually among the 

 bees. I think skunks also eat a great number 

 of bees, as there are plenty of them around 

 here. Samuel Heath.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MAKKKT QUOTATIONS 



) 



Chicago, Feb. s.—The demand is better for 

 all grades of honey than at any time since the 

 beginning of December of last year. Stocks are 

 now being reduced, but at the same time prices 

 are easy. Many have had it so long that they 

 are anxious to make sales. No. 1 to fancy white 

 comb honey sells at 12@l3c; amber grades, 

 10(auc; dark, etc., 9@l0c. Extracted, white, 

 6@7c, according to quality, kind and flavor: am. 

 ber, S@6c. Beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Feb. S.— There is a fair demand 

 for honey, but Hearing the end of the season for 

 comb honey, with large supply, has pressed the 

 prices; fancy white, 13@14c; amber, in barrels 

 SX@5Kc; in cans, %c more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, 6@6^ic; fancy » hite clover, 75i@8c. Bees- 

 wa.\, 30c. C. H. W. Weber. 



Philadelphia, Feb. 8.— There has been a de- 

 cided decline in comb honey since last quota- 

 tions. Bee men who have little lots held back 

 and are afraid they can't dispose of it before 

 warm weather, are shipping it in, selling at any 

 price they can get, breaking the market decid- 

 edly. We would quote fancy white at HffliSc- 

 No. I,atl2@13c; amber. 10c. E.-ctracted, n'hite, 

 6@7c; amber, S@6c Beeswax, 3tc. We are pro- 

 ducers of honey and do not handle on commis- 

 sion. Wm. a. Selsej(. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 16.— The honey market at 

 present is aull. and lower prices would not in- 

 duce sales, which, no doubt, is due to the con- 

 tinued cold. We hope to make a better report 

 when the weather moderates. We offer our am- 

 ber extracted honey in barrels at S5^@6iic, ac- 

 cording to quality; white clover, bii@»^,c 

 Fancy comb, at 14W15C, in a small way. Bees- 

 wax, 30c. The Fred W. Mdth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 1.— Honey demand very 

 light. Prices of comb honey are largely now 

 what the buyers will offer— from lOffilSc. We 

 look for better demand when weather is 

 warmer. Extracted doing some better at 7c 

 for white, diic for mixed, and S%(abc for dark 

 and buckwheat. Beeswax, 38®30c. 



H. R. Wright. 



Boston, Feb. 9. -There is little change to 

 note in the honey market. Strictly fancy East- 

 ern honey is scarce. Western honey will not 

 bring as much here. Wequote fancy white in 

 glass-front cases at 16c: No. 1, at 15c. Supplv is 

 ample, and demand light at this time. Ex- 

 tracted, water-white, 8c; light amber 7(a8c- 

 with but little call for dark Florida. ' 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Feb. 24.— There is no change 

 in the price of comb honey; the supply is large 

 The receipts of extracted are large and the de- 

 mand very light. The market price is: Fancy 

 No. 1, comb, 24 section cases, $2.25; No. 2 stock 

 $2.00. Extracted, white, per pound, bidbUc- am- 

 ber, S}4@6c. Beeswax. 3Dc. ~ ' 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New Y'ork, Feb. 27— Demand for comb honey 

 has slackened off considerably, and while there 

 is some call for white, receipts are heavier than 

 the demand and in quantity lots, quotation pri- 

 ces are shaded more or less. We quote fancy 

 white at 13(a>14c; No. 1, at 12c; amber, at Ur 

 There is no more demand for dark honey what- 

 soever, and we would not encourage shipment 

 of this grade. Extracted honev is quiet at un- 

 changed prices. Beeswax in good demand at 

 from 2w<o30c. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Feb. 17.— Extracted, white, 

 SMCaibc; light amber, *\imSc; amber, 4@4i^c; 

 dark amber, .~,mn'4c. White comb, 12!^@13c- 

 amber. 9iu>llc. Beeswax, good to choice, licht' 

 27^1" 29c; dark, 25te2i.c. ' 



The steamer Newport, sailing on Saturday, 

 the t'th. took 115 cases extracted honev for New 

 Y'ork. Local demand is light. E.\tracted is 

 not in heavy spot supply. The prospects of an 

 early cleanipg up of comb honey are not at the 

 moment particularly encouraging.
