New York. May 2u.— Since our last there 

 has been no materialchange in the condition 

 of the honey market; we really have nothing 

 new to report. It is rather early as yet for 

 a new crop from tlie South. It may be a 

 couple of weeks longer before we will re- 

 ceive any. .Some little lots of comb honey 

 are still coming in. and find ready sale at 

 former prices. The market on extracted is 

 very quiet, and prices have a downward 

 tendency all along the line. The new crop 

 from the West Indies is now arriving quite 

 freely, and no doubt shipments will increase 

 in quantity as the season progresses. Bees- 

 wax steady at from 3o@32c per lb., according 

 to quality. Hildreth & Segelken.

^♦^^ 



The season has opened up more favorably, after all, than many bee-keepers anticipated, and many find 

 themselves unprepared for the swarming period and honey-flow which is.just before them. Extra hivts just 

 now may mean almost a double output of honey, and we can get these hives to you at once. We have a large 

 and complete stock of all kinds and combinations, and can fill your order the day it is received. 



If you are producing comb honey the Danzenbaker hive will give you most excellent satisfaction. Re- 

 ports from large users of this hive show that with it a very large percentage of fancy comb honey may be 

 produced; and with a little extra protection it is an excellent wintering hive. 



Another comb-honey hive that is very popular this season is the Buckeye double-walled hive. This is 

 the new movable-bottom pattern, and the double-wall feature offers protection, not only in the winter, but at 

 all seasons. This is particularly valuable in the early part of the season when sudden changes of temperature 

 are apt to have disastrous results. 



For the production of extracted honey there is no better hive than the regular ten-frame dovetailed 

 pattern. This has been a standard for years, and will admit of a number of changes and combinations to suit 

 local conditions and the season. 



We have also, of course, our usual stock of all other supplies, and you can handle your order for any 

 item listed in our catalog with our usual promptness and dispatch. We are better equipped than any other 

 dealer in this section to give special attention to hurry orders, and solicit a trial of our goods and our service.
