Good Queens and bees that are Good Workers; 

 if they are irentleand beautiful, so much the better. 

 My Golden Italians "fill the bill." In 1894 this part 

 of Florida hMd a big honey-flow; the three apiaries 

 giving the largest avcrngr yields (34 to 116 colonies) 

 had a part— one all— of their queens reared by me. 

 Being on a main railroad, and sending queens by 

 return mail, I can get a queen to you pretty quick. 

 Prices for warranted queens: April, 81.00; 6 for 

 $4.76; 13 for S8..50. May, 75c; 6 for $4.00; 13 for $7..50. 

 June, 6 for f3.7.5; 13 for $6.75. Safe arrival guar- 

 anteed. Free circulars. J. B. CASE,

CITT MARKETS. 



Albany. — Honey. — The demand has continued 

 quite good for comb honey up to this date, and 

 there has been quite a large arrival of nice white 

 California stock which sells at 13@15; buckwheat 

 at .S@9. Extracted is moving unusually slow at 4@6, 

 with large stock on the market.

April 8. Albany, N. Y. 



Milwaukee.— Hojif)/.— The sale of honey has not 

 been very lively thrcuigh^the winter; but since the 

 opening of spring the demand has improved, and the 

 indications are that tlie stock of comb will be very 

 small. We are obliged to reduce our quotations as 

 we are selling now tor lower values, and will quote 

 choice white 1-lb. sections at 13@14; fair white Mb. 

 sections, 13@13; dark common Mb. sections, 8@10. 

 Extracted white in pails and kegs, 8@8i2; same in 

 bbls. and i/i-bbls.,7'/2@8; amber in bbls. and 1'2-bbls., 

 6Vi@7. Beeswax, 36@38.

April 6. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Philadelphia.— Hojiey.— Honey is much lower in 

 this market. Warm weather has cut off demand for 

 comb honey, and producers having any left are 

 rushing it into the market so as to clean it up before 

 moth time, and ordered it sold at any price. This 

 has broken the price. We quote comb at 8@11; ex- 

 tracted, 4@5: beeswax, 38. Wm. A. Selser, 



April 10. No. 10 VineSt., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Kansas City.— Ho?iey.— Demand for both comb
