have yet to tiud the queen ViliiTiied for com- 

 municating; the disease. When I i^et a queen 

 from elsewhere, or an imported (|iieen, I open 

 the cage before a closed window, and after 

 the ciueen is caged I destroy every bee. Most 

 of them are readily crushed when flying 

 against the window glass. 



Extracting^ Supers Over Winter. 



In the Southland Queen, Louis Scholl tells 

 that he practiced putting enamel cloth over 

 his brood-frames and piling the extracting- 

 supers above for winter. He says further: 



But this had to be removed in the spring, 

 so last year I tried some of the heavy brown 

 paper used by butchers, and putting a sheet 

 on top of the brood-frames, liy just tilting 

 back the supers and all above. If honey is in 

 the top supers, a hole can be torn in the sheet 

 of paper to let the bees go for it above. 



I would prefer to have the sheet of paper 

 a little narrower than the hive is wide inside, 

 leaving a passageway next to the walls. 



In spring, as soon as the colon3'gets more 

 poijulous, and more room is needed, the bees 

 will attend to the paper, gnawing it away, 

 and saving the apiarist the laljor of removing 

 it.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, June 19.— New comb honey has not 

 yet reached this market. It would sell at 15® 

 K.c if choice white, and the ambers at 12(ai3c. 

 The market is entirely bare with exception of a 

 few cases of a lot that we had held for ns, ex- 

 pecting it would be needed. Advices are that 

 shipments will be started by July 1. Very little 

 trading is being done in extracted, as' large 

 dealers will not contract this season unless at 

 low figures; some sales of amber have been 

 made at 4^(ai5c for early autumn delivery; 

 white is held at 5Hc. Beeswax sells at 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, May 17.— No demand tor comb 

 honey, also stock of it well exhausted. Ex- 

 tracted very dull; sales are more or less forced; 

 lower prices from M to 1 cent per pound. 



C. H. W. Webbs. 



Boston, June 2').— There is practically no 

 comb honey in our market, and owing to warm 

 weather very little call for it. Are expecting 

 some new comb early next month. Market for 

 extracted dull, at o54@7i^c. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Omaha, May 1.— Comb honey, extra white, 

 24-frame cases, per cate, $3.40; No. 1, $3.25: am- 

 ber, $3.00. Peycke Bros. 



New York, June 1.— Extracted honey is ex 

 ceedingly dull and very little moving. Wequote 

 for the present: White, OS^faTc; light amber, 

 55^®6c; amber, J'aS'iC. Some demand for comb 

 honey at unchanged prices. New crop is now 

 beginning to arrive from the South, and sells at 

 from 12@lSc, according to quality and st3 le. 

 Beeswax, 2';ic. Hildreth & Segelkkn. 



Albany, N. Y., June 18.— Honey market is 

 dull with no receipts or slocks and little de- 

 mand. It is between seasons now. Prospect of 

 good crop in this vicinity from what bees there 

 are left, the greater portion having been killed 

 by foul brood exterminators. H. R. Wright. 



Detroit, June 27— Very little old honev in 

 market, and no new honey come in yet. Splen- 

 did showing for a good yield of white clover 

 honey. Beeswa.x, 2b7(i'27c; demand light. 



M. H. Hunt i Son. 



Buffalo, June 26.— Honey not wanted till 

 cool, fall weather. Little old honey here and 

 dragging, b('l lOc. Extracted not wanted. Fruit 

 takes place of honey now. Battbrson <fe Co. 



Kansas City, June 14.— Very little old honey 

 on our market but what is damaged by being 

 granulated. Sales are light at 15 cents for best 

 grade No. 1 Colorado. Amber, 13c. Beeswax 

 firm at 2S@30c. 



W. R. Cromwell Produce Co., 

 Successors to C. C. Clemons & Co.

 tracted, white, 5@6c; light amber, 4@4)<c; 

 amber, 35i@4c. Beeswax, 26@2Sc. 



Dealers are very bearish in their ideas, but 

 are not securing much honey at the prices they 

 name. In a small way to special trade an ad- 

 vance on quotations is being realized.
