and doinfr good work. I have one dark queen 

 that has more brood than they have, and sev- 

 eral that have not as much. I transferred the 

 bees from 3 boxes this spring, but one colony 

 was not strong enough to divide. Those that 

 I transferred had brood enough to fill 5-Lang- 

 stroth frames to a hive, and enough honey in 

 the combs to put two more to a hive. 1 feel 

 proud of my work and my queens. 



I am 21 years old, and am in hopes I will 

 become a bee-keeper. I make my own hives, 

 and they are all 10-frames — no toys — with 

 supers to hold as much as the brood-chamber. 



I used sticks to hold the comb in the frames 

 when transferring. I think they are better 

 than wires ; they were ready to take off in a 

 week. The sticks must be longer than the 

 frame is wide or high, so as to cut notches 

 and- lie them on. It is the work for two to 

 transfer, and a job you cannot hurry.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS 





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

 supply of comb houey, very little of which will 

 pass as No. 1 ^rade— price is ll(g>12c per pound, 

 and off grades at a correspondinjf value. E.x- 

 tracted, 6(a'7c per pound for best grades of 

 white: amber colors, 5i<_'bc per pound. Bees- 

 wax, 30ft 32c. R. A. Bdrnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, 0., June ".—Since warm weather 

 set in, hardly any sales of comb honey are 

 made; what little there was sold, was fancy 

 while and brought from 12H'(5'13Hlc. Extracted 

 has a fair demand, as follows; Amber, in bar- 

 rels, from S%(a,S^c; in cans, ^c per pound 

 more; alfalfa, 654c; fancy white clover, "Jic. 

 Nice yellow beeswa.x, 30c. C. H. W. Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., June 3.— The honey market is 

 very dull now, and prices nominal Receipts 

 are very light and demand the same. We quote 

 comb honev, in good order, white, 13@lSc' 

 mi.ted, 12@i3c; dark, 10@12c. Extracted, buck- 

 wheat, SH'ibc; mixed, 5)i@6c; white, 6)4(ai7c. 

 Beeswax, 30@32c. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, J une 15.— The demand for honey 

 is slow for this season of the year, which is due 

 lo the vast quantities that were held over from 

 last season, and the importation of Cuban 

 honey. We quote amber in barrels and cans at 

 SK@6Mc; while clover, fiMBHc Reeswa.x, 30c 

 The Fred W.Moth Co. 



Boston, May 14.— The demand for honey is 

 extremely light, almost nothing, and supplies 

 ate heavy for this time of the year, and our 

 prices therefore are largely nominal. We quote 

 fancy white at 13@16c; A No. 1, 14(gi5c; and 

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

 traded, from 6@7c. Blake, Scott & I,be.D 



Kansas City, June 15.— The market is about 

 cleaned up on old honey, the last selling for 

 $2.75 per case. We expect our first shipment of 

 new stock in next week, and will sell same at 

 $3.25 per case; we have been receiving letters 

 from all of our honey-shippers, from which we 

 gather that the crop in Iowa and Missouri runs 

 from fair to good. Old extracted honey meets 

 with very slow sale. Beeswax in good demand 

 at 30c. C, C, Clemons & Co. 



New York, May 21,— The market on comb 

 honey is decidedly dull and it is almost impos- 

 sible to move largre blocks. What little trade 

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

 nominally: Fancy while 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 & SeGELKEN. 



Philadelphia, June 8. — The comb honey 

 season is now about over. There are dol enough 

 sales to fix any price. For the last 10 days 

 commission men have been accepting any offer 

 they could get. but did not fix any market 

 value. Extracted honey seems a little off in 

 price, some lots from the south being offered as 

 low as 5c in barrels. We quote: Southern ex- 

 tracted, tc. Fancy white clover, 7c, Beeswax 

 is a little oS; 29c for bright yellow is the top 

 market price. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm, A. Selser. 



San Francisco, June 1.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, 12M!(<?il3c; amber, 'i^llc. Extracted. 



Offerings of new honey are looked for in the 

 near future, but not in heavy quantities. Stocks 

 of old honey in this center are of quite moder- 

 ate proportions and iuclude little ot high grade. 

 Common qualities are not receiving much at- 

 tention.
