AMERICAN BEE PURNAL

wire-cloth at the bottom, and the cover at the 

 top thus making each little room separate and 

 bee-tight. On two sides and one end are en- 

 trances, one entrance communicating with 

 each compartment. 



This super, as constructed, is now put on 

 over a strong colony, wire-cloth down next to 

 the bees. Into each of the compartments he 

 puts two frames of bees, brood, and honey. 

 He then inserts a i)ueen-cell, or lets run into 

 each a virgin queen. The cover is put on, 

 and the bees are left to their own devices. 

 He now has practically three 2-frame nuclei, 

 each one with a cell or virgin queen right 

 over a strong colony, the only separation be- 

 ing the wire-cloth. And right here is the 

 feature that makes it a success: The old 

 methods have used perforated zinc, while Mr. 

 Warden uses wire-cloth. Now for results : 



These young queens fly out from the en- 

 trances from the upper story, are fertilized, 

 and come back. If cool weather comes on it 

 does not make any difference, because there 

 is a large amount of heat from the cluster of 

 bees below that rises up through the wire- 

 cloth. 



The great feature in favor of this method is 

 that, in the fall, or at the close of the season, 

 when it is desired to unite the bees, and the 

 young queens have all been sold from the 

 upper story, all one has to do is to remove 

 the wire-cloth from the two stories, and let 

 the bees run together. They all have the 

 same scent, and there is no fighting. 



This scheme has also another advantage: 

 It economizes room in the yard, and brings 

 the nuclei up to a nice height for the apiarist 

 to work. We also make one colony do the 

 work of three nuclei: and if honey is coming 

 in, the colony can store just the same; but, 

 of course, the frames of honey would have to 

 be removed as fast as tilled with honey. If 

 one of the nuclei runs short of brood, all that 

 is necessary is to remove the upper story for 

 a minute or two, take out the empty comb 

 from the nucleus, and substitute it for a 

 frame of brood from the colony below. Set 

 this, bees and all. into the nucleus, replace 

 the upper story, and ail will go on as before. 

 There will be no lighting, because, under- 

 stand, the bees are all of the same scent. —

An Old Friend.— Among the very first of the 

 incubator and brooder concerns of the country 

 to advertise in our columns was the "Reliable,'' 

 of Quincy, 111. Although a number of years 

 has passed since their first advertisement ap- 

 peared in our paper, there has not been a year 

 since that first time when they have not been 

 with us during the regular advertising season. 

 It affords us, therefore, more than usual pleas- 

 ure to state that they will advertise with us 

 again this season, and their announcement ap- 

 pears on another page of this issue. Our rela- 

 tionship with these people has been most pleas- 

 ant through all these years, and while we feel 

 that our paper has been the means of doing 

 them much good, we also know that they have 

 done much good to our readers. The Reliable 

 goods are reli.ible in works and results as well 

 as in name, and those of our readers who con- 

 template the purcha^.e of machines of this class 

 can do no better than to buy the time-tested old 

 Reliable. Tlicir Zoih Century Catalog is, as 

 usual, a work ol great value. Write them to- 

 day for a copy. Address, Reliable Incubator 

 and Brooder Co., Quincy, 111., and mention this 

 paper.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. is.— No. 1 white comb honey 

 is selling at 15c per pound, with occasionally a 

 little more being obtained for fancv, that which 

 does not grade No. 1 selling at from I3tol4c. 

 with the light amber at 12'" 13c; dark honey of 

 various kinds selling at ItKmllc. Extracted in 

 moderate demand at from S^(S'6J4c for the vari^ 

 ous grades of white; some fancy white clover 

 and basswood bringing 7c; light amber rang- 

 ing from 5Uf<'5'4c; dark at 5(gJSKc. Beeswax 

 firm at 2S@3Uc. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 10.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 Stottc; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6@7c; white clover from 8^9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from i3%@15Hc. 



C. H. W. Webkr. 



Boston, Sept. 27.— We quote our market as 

 follows: Fancy white in cartons, 16c; A No. 1, 

 15c; No. 1, 14^c. Extracted, white, SJ^c; light 

 amber, 8c; amber, (>%(&7Hc. 



Blakb, Scott & I«bb. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 19.— We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, 16c; No. 1, 15c; mixed, 13(^ 14c; No. 

 1 buckwheat or amber, 12(aJ13c. Extracted, 

 white,7@7%c; light, 6J^(&i7c; dark, 5>^(^6c. Bees- 

 wax, 28(a29c, H. R. Wright. 



Omaha, Aug. 8. — New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 5(> per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4J^(Si4>4'c per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production o( extracted honey seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, Utah and Califor- 

 nia. Peycke Bros. 



New Yore, Sept. 10.— Comb honey is now be- 

 ginning to arrive in large quantities, and, as a 

 rule, quality is fine. The demand is good, and 

 we quote as follows: Fancy white, 14fa«15c: No. 

 1, 13c; No. 2, 12c; and amber, lie. No buck- 

 wheat is on the market as yet, but are expect- 

 ing same within a week or so. Extracted is 

 selling slowly, with plenty of supply, at 5@65^c, 

 according to quality, and Southern in barrels 

 at from 55'g65c per gallon. Beeswax dull at 27c. 

 Hildreth <& Seqblkbn. 



Des Moines, Aug. 7.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honey are on the 

 market and selling in a retail way' at $3.S<^ to 

 $3.75 per case. We do not look for much trade 

 in this line before Sept. 1. Our market does not 

 consume a great deal of extracted honey. 



Peycke Bros. & Chaney. 



Detroit, Aug. 12.— Fancv white comb ho»ey, 

 14@lSc; No. 1, 13@14c; no dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6@7c. Beeswax, 25f«'26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son, 



Buffalo, Aug. 10.— Quite a good demand for 

 fancy honey, lo@17c, and lower grades, 12@14c; 

 old neglected. Advise moderate shipments only 

 of new as yet. Batterson & Co, 



San Francisco, Sept. 4.— White comb, 10® 

 12 cents; amber, 7@'»c; dark, 6@i7Vfi cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 514@—; light amber, 4!<@— ; 

 amber. 4@ — . Beeswax, 26@28c. 



Arrivals and spot offerings are of rather mod- 

 erate volume, but there is as much or more on 

 market than can be t onveniently or advanta- 

 geously placed. To secure liberal wholesale 

 custom, prices would have to be shaded in favor 

 of buyers. In a small way for especially desi- 

 rable lots slightly higher figures than are 

 quoted are realized. 



Kansas City, Sept. 14.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honey have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of 15@l{ic per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and quotations are issued at $3.10(a$3.25 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14@14!^c; the demand being quite brisk, 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inquiries for ex- 

 tracted are a little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way 5%@6c is quotable.
