January 



American l^ee Journal 



Chicago. Dec. 2H— Sales nf honey have 

 been slow during the month of December, 

 and are likely to be so for some little time 

 in January. The Western honeys do not 

 give the satisfaction that the honey pro- 

 duced in the neighborhood does, for the rea- 

 son that the people are accustomed to a 

 flavor they do no not find in Western honey. 

 Prices on fancy comb range from I7@i8c per 

 lb., and other grades are from i@5c per lb. 

 less. Extracted, from 8@qc for white, and 

 ambers are ranging from 7e8c. according to 

 flavor and kind. Beeswax is steady at from 

 30®32c. according to color and cleanliness.

 for fancy white selling in retail way at J4.00, 

 to jobbers at $3.60 to$3.75. accordingjto quant- 

 ity. Extra white extracted in 60-lb. cans at 

 10c: light amber in 60-lb. cans at 8':!C: amber 

 in barrels. 7@7'3C. Beeswax in fair demand

The above are our selling prices, not what 

 we are paying. C. H. W. Weber & Co. 



New York. Dec. 28.— Trade is rather QUiet 

 just now. which is generally the case around 

 the holidays. Stocks of comb honey are 

 rather light, on account of the short crop, 

 and receipts are only of moderate size, and 

 we do not expect any more large shipments 

 from now on. Prices hold firm at former 

 Quotations. Extracted honey— while white 

 clover is scarce, there seems to be an abun- 

 dant supply of all other grades. We expect 

 to see lower prices from now on. For the 

 present we quote; California white sage, QC 

 per pound; light amber sage. 8c per pound; 



while alfalfa. «(°8'2C; light amber alfalfa' 

 7(37';c; buckwheat. 7@7'5C. Beeswax quiet 

 at !oc per pound. HiLDRETH & Segelken. 



Kansas City, Mo.. Dec. 28.— The demand 

 for honey still continues to be light, and we

 after the holidays. January and February 

 are generally good honey months. We quote; 

 No. I white comb. 24-sections. S3. 25; No. 2. 

 $2.75@$3.oo; No. I amber. $3.00; No. 2. $2.50(82.75.

"Southern Bee-Culture" is the 



name of a booklet written by J. J. 

 Wilder, perhaps the most extensive 

 bee-keeper and honey-producer in the 

 whole State of Georgia. It is a real 

 hand-book of Southern bee-keeping, 

 with methods so simply described that 

 they are easy to carry out. Every bee- 

 keeper, especially in the South, should 

 have a copy of Mr. Wilder's booklet. 

 He conducts apiaries by the dozen, and 

 produces many tons of honey every 

 season. He tells in careful detail just 

 how he does it. The price of this book- 

 let is ,50 cents, or we now club it with 

 the American Bee Journal for a year — 

 both for $1.30. Send all orders to

I A Happy New Year to Bee-Keepers 



Everywhere 



I 



IN HIS DEPARTMENT " The Busy 

 Bee," in December Farm Journal, D. 

 Everett Lyon, bee-keeper and author, 

 has to say of the advantages of early 

 buying- of bee-supplies: 



" I have made it a practice to purchase my sup- 

 plies during the winter for the following season, for 

 two reasons: First, there is a discount given by the 

 supply houses, who are anxious to get their custo- 

 mers supplied now rather than when they are natur- 

 ally rushed during the spring; and, second, because 

 during the leisure time of winter I can put the hives 

 and sections together." 



There's a Point For You 



Not only is it more practical to buy 

 bee-supplies during the winter, but 

 there's quite a little profit to be had for 

 your foresight. 



Buy ROOT'S BEE-SUPPLIES here in January, and 

 you save 3 percent. These discounts apply on prac- 

 tically everything listed in the big Weber Line. 

 You save freight by ordering from Cincinnati — and 

 you save the interest on one dollar for a whole year 

 by investing in bee-supplies in January. Just bear 

 these facts in mind.
