Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, at the Washington meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according to these 

 rules : 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached to 

 all four sides; both wood and comb unsoiled by 

 travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed except 

 the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or with but 

 few cells unsealed; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be "fancy white," 

 'No. 1, dark." etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations are 

 those at which the dealers sell to the grocers. From 

 these prices must be deducted freight, cartage and 

 commission— the balance being sent to the shipper. 

 Commission is ten per cent; except that a few deal- 

 ers charge only five per cent, when a shipment sells 

 for as much as one hundred dollars. 



BOSTON— Fancy and No. 1 white comb honey, 

 15 to 16c; fancy white extracted, 10 to I Ic; bees- 

 wax, 30c.

 f:om the South and same find ready sale at from 

 13 to 1 5c a comb, according to quality. While it 

 is too early as yet to say what the crop will be in

 have received thus far, we should say that a good 

 sized crop of white clover honey will be produced. 

 As to extracted, the market is in good shape. As 

 the crop on the Coast is exceedingly short prices 

 are firm, even lor what is carried over fiom last 

 season, as well as for the new crop. New crop

Carniolan bees are natives of the cold Alps 

 Mountains. They are very hardy as the severe 

 winters have a tenden y to weed out the weak 

 colonies. They have great wing power. Have 

 bred these bees exclusively for fourteen years and 

 have tried queens from nearly all the queen 

 breeders of the different districts in Northern 

 Carniola. Running for extracted honey, they 

 rarely swarm, if given plenty of drawn comb and 

 kept in the shade.
