Honey yuotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, an^, so 

 far as pnssible, quotations are made according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and hrinly attached 

 to all four sidfs; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. I. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, det^'ched at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; both wood and comb un- 

 soiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be "fancy white," 

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few d- alers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANSaS city— Market on white comb honey 

 is firm, best white selling at $3 25 per case, 

 amber, at $3.00 and other grades a little less. 

 Extracted, 6 to 5J..c. Beeswax at 25c.
