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 lie: bees- 

 wax, 30c.

NEW YORK C;TY-The demand is good for 

 comb honey, principally for No. 1 and fancy white, 

 while the dark grades are rather dragging. Re- 

 ceipts have been quite heavy of late, and are likely 

 to continue so for some lime to come. We quote 

 fancy white at 15c, with exceptional lots at 16c; 

 No. 1 14c; No. 2 12 and 13c, dark and mixed 10 

 to 12c, according to quality. Extracted in good 

 demand at unchanged prices. Beeswax steady at 

 30c.

CHICAGO — There is some accumulation of honey 

 which is usual at this time of the year. The prices 

 are not liable to change from those now prevailing. 

 Beeswax is in good demand, all of it that is clean 

 and of fair color brings 32c. Fancy white 17c, 

 No. 1 white 1 5 to 16c, lancy amber 1 4 to 15c: No. 

 ] amber 12 to 13c, fancy dark 11 to 13c, No. 1 

 dark 9 to 10c, white extracted 8 to 9c, amber 7 to 

 8c, dark 6 to 7c, beeswax 30 to 32c.

CINCINNATI— While the price on fancy comb 

 honey is very firm, the demand is not as good as 

 it was 60 days ago owing to the fact that the many 

 bee keepers bring in their little lots to the country 

 stores which lessens the demand from the jobber. 

 We are selling strictly fancy comb honey in 24 

 section ceises, S4. 00 by he single case, and to the 

 jobber at $3 75, Amber and dark comb honey is 

 not wanted at any price. Extracted honey is 

 suffering to some extent in demand as it always 

 does around the holidays. There is no reason for 

 lowering the prices stated, it will not hasten the 

 sales: we therefore quote amber honey in barrels, 

 according to quantity and quality purchased, from 

 5!4c to 7Kc; fancy white in 60 lb. cans from 9c to 

 lOc We are paying for choice beeswax from 28c 

 to 30c per lb delivered here

 1654c: No. 1 white, 14!^ to 15^c; fancy amber,

Carniolan bees are natives of the cold Alps 

 Mountains. They are very hardy as the severe 

 winters have a tendency 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.
