Drones of a Drone-Layer All Right. 



''Are the drones from a ijueen who has 

 never met a drone virile r' is a question su<j:- 

 gested bj- the editor, p. 778. Dzierzon holds 

 that they are. On p. 244 of the American Bee 

 .lournal. Vol. 1., the baron of Berlepsch gives 

 II poxteriori proof that is ahiiuxt conclusive. 

 Ou p. 246 of the same volume is given the tes- 

 timony of no less an authority than Prof. 

 Leuckart, which, I think, settles the question. 

 He says :" Those originating from the eggs 

 of unfecundated or drone-producing queens 

 are, as I have ascertained, as perfectly devel- 

 oped and as fully virile as others. So, like- 

 wise, are those dwarf or diminutive drones, 

 which are occasionally bred in worker-cells. 

 Nay, even in a drone hatched in a royal cell, 

 though prematurely dead, sent to me by Mr. 

 Kleine, I have unquestionably found seminal 

 filaments and male organs. The case is pre- 

 cisely similar also with drones hatched from 

 eggs laid by laying workers. Mr. Vogel in- 

 serted in a hive of common bees a drone- 

 comb containing eggs laid by an Italian 

 worker (which he had seen laying in a queen- 

 less colony), and removed the colony to an iso- 

 lated locality. Italian drones were hatched, 

 and two common queens, fecundated while 

 those drones were flying, producing partly 

 common and partly Italian workers. As 

 there were then no other Italian drones in 

 that neighborhood, those queens must have 

 been fertilized by drones produced from the 

 eggs of the laying worker." — [This ought to 

 be sufficient proof. — Ed.] — Gleanings in

" SrccEss ■' A Winner. — One of the fore- 

 mosteditors of New York announced, a few 

 mouths ago, that the only magazine that 

 would win would be the magazine with 

 a backbone. "Success" seems to be such 

 a magazine. It has a backbone of which 

 inspiration, optimism, beauty, and achieve- 

 ment are notable factors. Its Christmas num- 

 ber is in many respects the most interesting 

 its editors have yet published. The table oi 

 contents for the holiday season is varied, 

 timely, and interesting, the contributors be- 

 ing some of the most notable people in liter- 

 ary aiid public life. Among a few of the 

 many interesting articles and poems contained 

 in this number may be mentioned, " America 

 Should Establish Universal I'eaee," Ijy Prince 

 YoYunChun; "Greeley's Ambition Culmi- 

 nated in His Fight for the Presidency," by 

 Alexander K. McClure; " Envv .Shoots at 

 Others, but Hits Itself," by Ella Wheeler 

 Wilcox : " Cultivate the Artof • Fitting-In.' '' 

 by Cynthia Westover Alden ; "Good Em- 

 ployers Make Good Employees," Ijy .1. Lin- 

 coln Brooks; "The Potent Power of Our 

 Divine Master Still Broods Over Palestine," 

 by William Ordway Partridge; " How to Get, 

 and Keep, a i'osition," by .lames J. Hill. 

 Frank H. Spearman and Hezekiah Butter- 

 worth supply two strong fiction stories, and 

 Sarah Grand tells American women they are 

 without a superior. The art work is in keep- 



ing with the high class of literature which is 

 a distinctive feature of " Success." The

A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it is simply the most complete scientific

 Illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ng^ style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction.

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to give away

I HONEY AND BEESWAX ! 



iVIARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Nov. 19.— Honey is selling- fairly 

 well at about the prices that have prevailed for 

 the last 2 months, viz; choice grades of white 

 comb honey, 14'ACglSc: good to No. 1, 14c; and 

 light amber, 13c, with darker grades, 10@12c. 

 Extracted, white, S%(ii-c; amber, S"-t@S;'ic, ac- 

 cording to quality, flavor and package. Bees- 

 wa.^ good demand at 2Sc. 



R. A. BUKNBTT & Co. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 25.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5@6c; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6@7c; white clover from X{a9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from J3^@15i4c. 



C. H. W. Wkbbr. 



Albany, N. Y., Oct. 25.— Honey in good de 

 mand now, as this is the most satisfactory time 

 to sell. Grocerymen are stocking up and will 

 buy lines, when late they only bnv enough to 

 piece out. Fancy white comb, lS(?'lt.c; mixed, 

 14(ailSc: buckwheat, 12feil3c. Extracted, white.

Omaha, Oct. 25.— New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

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

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 oJEered carlots at 4}^(Sl4'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, Utah and Califor- 

 °'^. Peycke Bros. 



New York, Nov. 8.— Comb honey is in good 

 demand, and while the market is not over- 

 stocked, receipts are sufficient to supply the de- 

 mand. Fancy white sells at 15c, with an occa- 

 sional sale at loc for attractive lots; No 1 

 white, at 14c; No. 2, at 13c; fancy buckwheat, 

 ll^llj^c; No. 1 and 2 at from 10@10}^c. Ex- 

 tracted remains quiet at from 0(ai6!^c for white, 

 and S'A@Siic for amber. Very little demand 

 for dark at 5!4@55^c. Beeswax quiet at from 



ZJ@2»C. HlLDRETH & SbGBLKEN. 



Boston, Nov. 20.— The demand for honev is 

 ng up, somewhat due in part to the holiday 



which time it is much neglected 

 uur market at the present time runs 16c for 

 strictly fancy in cartons; No. 1, 14@lSc; No "> 

 12^inl3c. Extracted, light amber, 7t^iS8«c- 

 amber, 7c. Blake, Scott & iTbb". 



Des Moines, Oct. 25.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honev 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 extractad honev. 



Peycke Bros. & Chaxey. 



Detroit, Oct. 25.— Fancv white comb honev 

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

amber. 4@ — . ' 



Market is moderately firm at prevailing val- 

 ues, which remain quotable about the same as a 

 week ago. There is considerable doing, both 

 on foreign and local account. A shipment of 

 1,000 cases extracted went forward the past 

 week per sailing vessel for England. A steamer 

 took 107 cases for Holland. 



Kansas City, Oct. 25.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honev have 

 been on the market, and these met w-ith ready 

 sale on the basis of 15®16c per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and quotations are issued at $.i.IO(a$3.2S 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14(a'14^c; the demand being quite brisk 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inquiries for ex- 

 tracted area little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way 55i@6c is quotable.
