Chicago. June 20 —The sales of honey, 

 botli comb and extracted, have been of light 

 volume dtiring the month of June, but we 

 should lia\e some of the new crop during 

 July. This market, however, does not care 

 for it to any extent prior to August. I^rices 

 on comb are from I5^'i8c per lb., where it 

 grades from No. i to fancy white; the am- 

 bers range from iot?'i2c, and some of the 

 fancy light ambers are nf?i5c. Extracted, 

 white, according to kind and Quantity, sells 

 at from HCi'oc. and tiie ambers from 7C*8c per 

 lb. Beeswax is steady at from 306^32 per lb. 

 for the average grade. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis. June 10.— No arrivals of new 

 honey at this date. Best extracted honey 

 sells at III" I2C in 5 gallon cans. Several cars 

 of comb honey arrived on this market dur- 

 ing March, and much remains in the jobbing 

 houses unsold, and no definite prices can 

 be named on comb at this writing. Beeswax 

 is in good demand, and producers are being 

 paid 30c per pound. Walter S. Pouder. 



New York. June 10.— Nothing new in comb 

 honey: small shipments of the new crop are 

 coming in from the South, and are sellingat 

 from n^iftc. according to quality. Arrivals 

 of the new crop of extracted honey from the 

 South are now coming in quite freely, as 

 well as from the West Indies. Prices are 

 rather unsettled as yet. ranging all the way 

 from Tu^ooc per gallon, according to quality. 

 Reports from California are rather conflict- 

 ing, some of them estimating this year's 

 crop. at 500 cars, while others claim a very 



short crop. No offerings have been made as 

 yet that we know of. and no prices estab 

 lished. Beeswax steady at from jo(" ?ic.

Kansas City, Mo.. June 21.— Everybody is 

 anxiously waiting for some new honey. We 

 believe that No. i 24-section. white, comb 

 honey will bring at first S3. 75 per case. Of 

 course, off grades bring a little less. There 

 is little demand for extracted honey, and it 

 is selling for 7'5(s")C. according to Quality.

 mand exceeds the supply.

Denver. June 21.— The old crop of comb 

 honey is all sold. We expect the first of the 

 new crop by the middle of July, if weather 

 conditions are favorable. We have a good 

 stock of very fine extracted honey which we 

 are quoting in a jobbing way at qc for strictly 



white; light amber, 8c; strained, hH^l'Ac. 

 We nay 2I1C in cash and 28c in trade per lb.

Cincinnati, lune 20.— There is very little 

 demand for honey at the present time, 

 nevertheless for the fancy comb honey we 

 have we are getting $3.7-S a case from the 

 wholesaler, and $4.00 from the retailer. 

 Light amber honey in large ciuantities we 

 are sellingat 6'zC»'7?^cper lb., and fancy table 

 at from 8'5^'ioc. according to the quantity 

 and quality purchased. 



Owing to the great loss of bees, no doubt 

 there will be a fall in the price of beeswax, 

 and only for choicest wax can we pay 32@2gc 

 per pound delivered here.

Missouri-Bred Queens! 



My strain of bees is the result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. I believe 

 they are equal to any. and surpassed by 

 none. They are lony lived, winter well, 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey get- 

 ters. The workers are long-bodied, Eood- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 makcnomistakein introducinii these queens 

 into your apiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-office, and make a speciality of 

 long and difficult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand. 

 Prices as follows: 



Untested— One, 60c: 6. $3.25: 12. $6.00. Select 

 Untested— I. 75c; 6. %x 25; 12. $8.00. Tested, i. 

 $1-25: t>. Ss 50; 12. S12.00. Select Tested— i. 

 1.50; ft. $8,00; 12. 15; 00. Two-comb Nuclei with 

 laying queens. $3. 00 each; 3-comb Nuclei 

 with laying queens. $350 each. Discounts

Special Delivery 



During this month we shall double our usual efforts in points of delivery and service. Early indications 

 not having been most favorable, it is possible many bee-keepers will not have laid in a sufficient stock of sup- 

 plies, such as sections and foundation, for the clover and basswood crop this month. We are prepared to 

 make up for this oversight by having a large stock of both sections and foundation on hand for instant deliv- 

 ery. We carry nothing but the Root make, which insures the best quality of everything. We sell at factory 

 prices, thereby insuring a uniform rate to every one. The saving on transportation charges from Cincinnati 

 to points south of us will mean quite an item to bee-keepers in this territory. We are so located that we can 

 make immediate shipment of any order the day it is received. 



HONEY AND BEESWAX 



If you haven't made arrangements for the disposition of your honey and wa.\ for this season, consult us- 

 We buy both in large quantities, and can assure you of fair and courteous treatment, and a good price for your 

 crop. 



Shipping-Cases. 



To sell your crop to the best advantage it must be well put up in attractive style. We have shipping-cases 

 that answer every requirernent of looks and utility. Small producers who sell their crops locally will be inter- 

 ested in the cartons in which comb honey is put up to sell to the fancy customers at top-notch prices. We 

 have honey-cans, too, in cases for those who produce extracted honey. In fact, there isn't anything we don't 

 have that the bee-keeper needs, either to produce his crop or help to sell it.
