NEW YORK-There is little coinb honey on 

 our market, and practically no demand thiough 

 our channels, just at this time; no doubt caused 

 lai gely on account of the risk in shipping during 

 warm weatlier. We usually do little on comb 

 honey before September. 



We do not advise the shipping of extracted 

 honey just at this time, for the reason that there 

 is not much demand, and quite a liberal supply, 

 although with our usual trade at this time of the 

 year it would not take long to clean it up. We 

 can hardly report reliable quotations at this time, 

 but we certainly must look for lower prices than 

 last season.

I have had 15 years' experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens, and I am breeding 

 queens from a queen that I got last spring from 

 J. 1-". Mclntvre ol Sespe, Cal. He describes this 

 stock on page 12 of Gleanings for June i, as fill- 

 ing the supers when other bees were star\'iug. 

 The drones in my vard are from excellent stock- 

 such as that of J. P. Moore of Kentucky. I rear 

 queens bv the Doolittle plan, send them by re- 

 turn mail, and guarantee safe arrival, purity of 

 mating, and satisfaction, at 50 cts each, in any 

 quantity. Money refunded if queens are not sat- 

 isfactory. Send for circular.
