the next swarm that issues is liived on these 

 combs of sealed brood. Mr. Hall says that 

 a swarm won't stay if hived on rombs of un- 

 sealed brood, but that it will stay on combs 

 of seiilnl brood. He says further, that swarms 

 don't like full sheets of foundation. 



Returning Swarms to Parent Stand. 



Editor Root, in Gleanings in Bee-Culture, 

 giyes a modified plan which some may lilte, 

 only it must always be borne in mind that 

 there would be severe loss if enough bees did 

 not promptly hatch out to take care of the 

 brood, especially it a cool night should come. 

 He says: 



Our neighbor, Vernon Burt, has succeeded 

 as usual in getting a good crop of honey. He 

 returns all the swarms to the parent stand, 

 giving the swarm a hive of empty combs, 

 then putting the super from the old hive on 

 top of the new one. If the weather is warm, 

 he shakes or brushes 'ill the bees oil the 

 combs of the parent hive, and then moves it 

 to another location. Hatching brood will 

 usually come out in time to take care of the 

 young brood. In this way he gives the 

 swarm all the strength itorigiaally possessed; 

 and by so doing he finds he gets the best 

 working force possible. This plan is a com- 

 bination of the returu-swarm plan and of the 

 Stachelbausen brush-swarm idea. But he 

 says he is always careful to see there is hatch- 

 ing brood to make sure that the unsealed 

 brood will not starve. He takes the further 

 prevention of brushing only during hot 

 weather. Of course, during the swarming 

 season there will be no robbing, and no fear 

 need be entertained from that source.

The ABC of Bee-Culture says of it: *'This 

 is a beautiful plant for the flower-g-ardeu, to 

 say nothing- of the honey it produces. It y^rows 

 fromtwo to three feet in hight and bears large, 

 clusters of bright pink tlowers. It grows natur- 

 ally on the Rocky Mountains, and in Colorado, 

 where it is said to furnish large quantities of 

 honey."

Chicago, Oct. 10.- There is a very ifood trade

 from 13((M4c; some small lots of fancy have 

 broufjht more than 15c; light amber sellinff at 

 12@13c; the dark honeys of various grades 

 range at from MM He. Extracted sells fairly 

 well at SM&ihVic for white, according to quality 

 and flavor; white clover and basswood bring- 

 ing 7c; light amber, S"4(a'S<4c; dark, S(ffl5Kc. 

 Beeswax steady at 2Sc. R. A. Burnett 6l Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 10.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. ' 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5W6c; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6(Si7c; white clover from S(a9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from ]3>^@15^c. 



C. H. W. Wbbbr. 



Boston, Oct. 12.— Fancy 1-ponnd honey in car- 

 tons. 16c; A No. 1 in glass or cartons, I'Sc; No. 

 1, 14'.4telSc; very little No. 2 being received. 

 Light amber extracted, "i^c. 



Blake, Scott & Iibb, 



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

 white comb, 16c; No. 1, ISc: mixed, IStoHc; No. 

 1 buckwheat or amber, 12(a;i3c. Extracted, 

 white,~(f7'/4c; light, 6)i@7c; dark, 5J^(a»6c. Bees- 

 wax, 28(3'29c. H. R. Wright. 



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

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 51) per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4'^(gJ4-'ic per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production of extracted honev seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, fJtah and Califor- 

 nia. Peycke Bros. 



New York, Oct. 18.—Comb honey is in good 

 demand and finds ready sale at the following 

 quotations: Fancy white, 15c per pound; No. 1 

 white, 13®14c; amber, 12c; buckwheat, lOfflllc. 

 Extracted rather quiet at 6fa6Hc for white, and 

 S^tob'^c lor amber. Beeswa.x rather quiet at 

 27@28c. Hildreth & Seoelken. 



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 $3.50 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 honev. 



Peycke Bros. 6i Ch'anev. 



Detroit, Aug. 12.— Fancv white comb honev 

 14@15c; No. 1, 13(S'14c; no dark to quote. Ex-

 12 cents; amber. 7(a9c; dark, 6(S'7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, sa®—; light amber, 4>^@ — ; 

 amber. 4@ — . 



Offerings of both comb and extracted, espe- 

 cially of otber than most select qualities, are 

 ahead of the immediate demand at full current 

 rates. There is little selling pressure, bow- 

 ever, and market is ruling steady as to values. 



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

 time only small lots of new comb honev have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of 15@loc 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 14ri'14'/^c; the demand being quite brisk, 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inquiries for e.v- 

 tracted are a little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a smiU way 5M(S6c is quotable.
