honey is as good) till they are entirely 

 subdued, then daub the queen and drop 

 her in. Please try this, Dr. Miller, and 

 report. 



The theory of the instantaneous in- 

 troduction is this : Daubing- the queen 

 with honey removes all foreign scent. 

 The bees may take her for an intruder, 

 but when they pitch on her perhaps to 

 ball her, they get into the honey and 

 begin at once to clean her up. May be 

 it arouses their sympathy, if they have 

 any, and by the time she is slicked up 

 all signs of hostility cease.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.^KKKT QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, Aug-. IS. — Some new honej is on 

 sale; No. 1 to fancy white comb brings 12'iJl3c; 

 so far the demand is of a slow nature. Ex- 

 tracted, good supply, and white grades sell at 

 6fai7c; amber, 5@6c, according to kind, quality, 

 flavor and package. Beeswax. 28c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., Aug. l*?.— The tone of the 

 comb honey of this year's stock is becoming 

 stiffer, producers claiming it to be not so plen- 

 tiful and therefore ask higher prices. I quote 

 fancy white comb honey from 15'" lS%c. 



Extracted is showing no change. Amber, in 

 barrels, S%(ai5%c; in cans, !*c higher; water- 

 white alfalfa in cans, (>^>c; fancy white clover, 

 in barrels, bl^iaSc. Beeswax more plentiful, 

 brings 2Sc per pound. C. H. W. Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., July 21-— We are approaching 

 the demand for new crop honey. There have 

 been no receipts thus far to speak of— not 

 enough to establish as yet. We could sell a 

 limited amount of light comb at 15(&lbc. Old 

 crop is well cleared out of this market, and we 

 look for a good trade in honey this season. 



Extracted, demand light; some small lots ar- 

 riving; holding at 7c for white, and 6c for dark. 



Beeswax quiet at 28@30c H. R. Wright. 



Boston, July 8.— Our market on honey, both 

 comb and extracted is practically in a slum- 

 bering condition, as there is really no call 

 whatever. 



Prices remain as before quoted, but are really 

 only nominal. Blake, Scott & I^ke. 



Cincinnati, July 15.— The supply of honey at 

 the present time is limited, with but moderate 

 demand. New hcney is beginning to arrive. 

 We quote our market to-day as follows: Am- 

 ber extracted in barrels and cans, 5K@6}^c; 

 white clover, 6H@8c. Comb honey (demand 

 limited), 13@14c for fancy and No. 1. Beeswax, 

 2'?c. The Fred W.Muth Co. 



Kansas City, Aug. 11.— The supply of honey 

 is increasing. The demand is improving. The 

 market hereto-day is $2.75, but we look for it to 

 go higher next month on account of the short 

 crop of honey this season in this section. Ex- 

 tracted slow, 5J4's>6Hc. Beeswax good demand, 

 30c. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Philadelphia, Aug. 10.— Some comb honey 

 has been arriving in this market the last week, 

 but hardly enough to fix the market price. 

 Everything depends on the crop, which is still 

 uncertain. Some few sales made of fancy comb 

 atl6@17c; No. l,14@15c. Extracted honey ar- 

 riving freely and selling at 7@sc for fancy 

 white and ti@7c for light amber. Beeswax, 26c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



San Francisco, Aug. 10.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, 12?^@13c; amber, "^^llc. Extracted, 

 white, 5H@6c; light amber, 5@S't.c; amber, 

 4@4Hc; dark amber, 3ji@33.4c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 28(ai30c; dark, 26@27!^c. 



Market is quiet, and for other than choice to 

 select is not favorable to the selling interest. 

 There is not much water-white honey offering, 

 but considerable of amber grades, and scarcely 

 any inquiry for ordinary qualities.
