workers are good honey-gatherers and most 

 remarkably gentle. The queens are quite pro- 

 liBc. The exact status of the race as regards 

 hardiness has not yet been determined, al- 

 though io Colorado they have not seemeil in- 

 ferior in wintering qualities to the Italians 

 already there. 



Further tests in the matter of methods in 

 queen-rearing and the use of small nucleus 

 hives have been continued. The determina- 

 tion of the best and most economical method 

 for rearing queens of the highest type is a 

 subject of prime importance to the industry, 

 and warrants the most thorough investigation 

 than can be given it.

A Standard-Bred Italian Queen-Bee Free ! 



For Sending One New Subscriber. 



As has been our custom heretofore we offer to mail a fine, Un- 

 tested Italian Queen to the person who cortiplies with the follow- 

 ing conditions, all of which must be strictly followed; 



1. The sender of a new subscriber must have his or her own 

 subscription paid in advance at least to the end of this year 

 (1904). 



2. Sending your own name with the .SI. 00 for the Bee Journal 

 will not entitle you to a Queen as a premium. The sender must 

 be already a paid-in-advance subscriber as above, and the new sub- 

 scriber must be aXKW subscriljer; which means, further, that 

 the new subscriber has never had the Bee .Fuurnal regularly, or at 

 least not for a whole year previous to his name being sent in as a 



new one ; and, also, the new su bscriber must not be a member jf the same family where 

 the Bee .Journal is already being tal<en. 



We think we have made the foregoing sufficiently plain so that no error need be 

 made. Our Premium Queens are too valuable to throw away — thiy must be earned in 

 a legitimate way. They are worth working for. 



We will book the orders as they come in and the Queens wil! be mailed in May or 

 .June. Will you have one or more? 



If you cannot get a new subscriber, and want one of these Queens, we will send the 

 American Bee Journal a year and the Queen— both for only S1..')0. Address,

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.\RKBT QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, May 9.— The market has an over- 

 supply of comb houey, very little of which will 

 pass as No, 1 grade— price is n@12c per pound, 

 and off grades at a corresponding value. Ex- 

 tracted, 6(Si7c per pound for best grades of 

 ,_ _ _ )lors, 5(t(6c per pound. Bees-

vhite; 

 vax, 30w 3ic. 



Cincinnati, O., May 19.— The honey market 

 continues to be dull; if anything, the prices 

 on comb honey are lower; concessions are 

 made on bigger lots. Fancy white comb honey, 

 from U>4(a»i4 cents. Sales on extracted are 

 made at the following prices: Amber, in bar- 

 rels, SM@5)ic; in cans, He more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, 6@6iic; strictly white clover, for extra 

 fancy, 7>^@8c. Beeswax, 30c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., April 25.— Honey market is 

 very dull. Stocks of both comb and extracted 

 are lighter than we thought would be a month 

 ago, when we thought we would have to carry 

 oyer the season. The demand for honey here 

 will be light until the new crop comes. Quota- 

 tions are nominally— 8@13c for comb, and 5@6c 

 for extracted. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, April 18. — The honey market 

 here is reassumiog activity, and judging from 

 present indications, and the lateness of the sea- 

 son, the last season^s crop will be consumed be- 

 fore the arrival of the new. Amber extracted 

 in barrels and cans, 5)^@6Kc; white clover, 

 6>ii@8 cents, according to quality and package 

 Fancy comb honey sells at 12miSc. Beeswax" 

 30 cents. The Fred W. Muth Co. ' 



Boston, May 14.— The demand for honey is 

 extremely light, almost nothing, and supplies 

 are heavy for this time of the year, and our 

 prices therefore are largely nominal. We quote 

 fancy white at 15@i6c; A No. 1, 14@15c; and 

 Nc.l, 14c, with no call for under grades. Ex- 

 tracted, from ()@7c. Blake, Scott & I,ee. 



Kansas City, April 18. — The demand for 

 honey is a little better than it has been. Prices 

 on strictly fancy comb are $2.£0 per case, if not 

 candied; the great trouble with the majority of 

 honev coming from the West at present is that 

 it is more or less candied, and about $2 00 to 

 J2.2S is all we can get for it; amber is selling at 

 f2.2S per case. Extracted is dull at S@6c. Bees- 

 wax in good demand at 30c. 



C. C. Clbmons & Co. 



New York, May 21.— The market on comb 

 honey is decidedly dull and it is almost impos- 

 sible to move large blocks. What little trade 

 there is, is done in a small way. We quote 

 nominally: Fancy white at 13c; No. 1 at 12c 

 and amber at 10c; no demand for dark at all* 

 Extracted is in fair demand at unchanged pri- 

 ces, with a good supply. Beeswax remains firm 

 at 30c, but we expect a decline very shortly. 



HiLDRETH & Segelke'n. 



Philadelphia, May 20.— The honey market 

 has been quiet for the last 10 days, and very 

 little doing. Some odd lots have been sold at 

 very low prices to clean out. The demand dur- 

 ing this spring-changeable weather has been 

 very light. There is no fancy comb honey on 

 the market. We quote: No. 1, 9@liic; aniber 

 8(a<)c. Fancy white extracted, 7@7isc; amber' 

 b^i@7c. Beeswax has been received in large 

 quantities: prices are a little off. We anote- 

 Bright yellow, 3oc; dark, 28®29c. 



We are producers of houey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



San Francisco, May IS.— White comb, 1-lb 

 sections, 12^@13c; amber, 'i*llc. Extracted' 

 white, S5i@6c; light amber, S@S'4c; amber' 

 3H&WC; dark amber, 3K@3;'4C. Beeswax, good' 

 to choice, light, 2S(.i 30c; dark, 26(a27Hc. 



Trade is not brisk and is mostly on local ac 

 count. There is not much high-grade comb 

 honey, and in a limited way it is bringing tol- 

 erably good figures. Dark comb moves slowly 

 Market for e-xtracted is quiet, although values 

 remain steady.
