tended to leave her locked up until the bees 

 would eat the candy and let her out by them- 

 selves, but in lixing the cape between the 

 combs I guess they became pried open and 

 she got out. Well, they didn't seem to mind 

 her any, and I thought she was all right, and 

 left them alone. About 10 days after, I looked 

 at them and to uiy great surprise found M 

 queen-cells and no queen. The cells were 

 worker-cells, and so small that you would not 

 think a worker could be reared in it. Sixteen 

 days after introducing the (|ueen, I looked 

 again and fouud one (|ueen out, and the others 

 just coming out. I killed those •.' and left the 

 one that was out lirst. I gave them some 

 more brood, and some time afterward she 

 started to lay, and kept right at it until cold 

 weather started. 



So you see, they were simple enough to kill 

 one, they were wise enough to rear three.

SPLIT HICKORY vs. 

 SAWED.— A vehicle is 

 only as strong as its 

 weakest part. A wheel 

 with hub spokes and 

 felloes made from the 

 strongest wood, if the 

 wood is sawed across 

 the grain, has little 

 strength. The "Split 

 Hickorv" line of vehicles, as their name indi- 

 cates, is constructed of split hickory — not 

 sawed — and is of greatest strength and endur- 

 ance and uni- ^ 

 formly strong 

 in all its parts. 

 To obtain 

 these splendid, 

 strong and sty- 

 lish vehicles, 

 send to Station 

 6, the Ohio 

 Carriage Mfg. Co., Cincinnati, O., for complete 

 illustrated catalog. Their prices are low, qual- 

 ity high, and their 30 days' free trial offer is 

 genuine and bona fide. Please mention the 

 American Bee Journal when writing them.

Tip=Top Glass Honey- Jars 



The picture shown 

 herewith represents the 

 best one-pound jar for 

 honey that we know of. 

 It is made of the clear- 

 est flint glass, and when 

 filled with honey, and a 

 neat label attached, it 

 makes as handsome a 

 package as can be im- 

 agined. Its glass top 

 sets on a flat rubber 

 ring, and is held in 

 place by a flat steel 

 spring across the top as 

 shown in the picture. It 

 Is practically air-tight, 

 thuspermittingDO leak, 



which is an Important thing with honey- 



eellers. 

 We can furnish these jars, f.o.b. Chicago,

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Jan. 9. —The demand is not more 

 than usual; hence stocks are sufficient, espe- 

 cially as Cuba has now comb houey on this 

 market. This is a new source of supply, and is 

 a factor that must be reckoned with, as it obvi- 

 ates the necessity of laying in a stock during 

 the summer and autumn to draw from in the 

 winter and spring months. The best grades of 

 white comb sell at lS(n)16c per pound, with 

 travel-stained and light amber, 13@14c; darker 

 grades, 10(3112. Extracted, Tiaxc for white, and 

 o@7c tor ambers. Beeswa.t steady at 30c. 



R. A. BnRNBTT & Co. 



Albany, N. T., Jan. 7.— Honey demand and 

 receipts light. We quote white comb, IS cents; 

 nii.ved, 14c; buckwheat, 13(ai4c. E.xtracted, 

 white, 7(«7>^c; dark and buckwheat, ~(g)~i4c. 

 More demand for buckwheat than any other 

 here. H. R. Wright. 



Kansas City, Dec. 20.— Market steady at quo- 

 tations. We quote fancy white comb, per case, 

 24 sections, $3.50; No. 1 at $3.40; No. 2 white 

 and amber, $3.25. Extracted, white, per pound, 

 7@7J^c; amber, 6@6)ic. Beeswax, 27@30c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, Jan. 7— The demand for all kinds 

 of honey has fallen off considerably in the last 

 few weeks, owing to the many other sweets of- 

 fered at this season of the year. Lower prices 

 are no inducement to increase the consumption, 

 as the demand is not there, and will not be un- 

 til about the end of the month; consequently it 

 is folly to offer at lower prices. We quote am- 

 ber extracted in barrels at S}i(a'0;^c; white clo- 

 ver and basswood, SgOljc. Pancv white comb 

 honey, 16(ai7c; lower grades hard' to sell at any 

 price. Beeswax Arm at 2')(a30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



N KW York, Jan. 23.— Demand for comb honey 

 quiet on all grades, and prices show a down- 

 ward tendency. Supply quite sufficient to meet 

 demand, if not more so. We quote fancy white 

 at 15c; No. 1, at I4c; No. 2, at from 12(n 13c; dark 

 and buckwheat, at from lUi>i2c. 



Extracted also quiet with abundant supplies 

 with the exception of white clover. We quote 

 white at 7c; amber at i.'iic. and dark at 6c. Com- 

 mon in barrels from (,0(a'OSc per gallon. 



Beeswax firm at from 2''(S>30c. 



HiLDRBTH & SbGBLKBR, 



Cincinnati, Jan. 20.— The demand for comb 

 honey has fallen off, which in general happens 

 right after the holidays, although prices rule 

 as before: White clover, 15J4c; extra fancy 

 water-white, 16c; no demand for lower grades. 

 Extracted honey is in fair demand, and sells as 

 follows: Amber, in barrels, SX(g>55^c; in cans, 

 6c; alfalfa, 7J^c; white clover, lUmUc. Bees- 

 wax, ZH@30c. C. H. W. Wbbbr. 



San Francisco, Jan. 14.— White comb honey. 

 llM@12*^c; light amber, l(i@lic; dark, 5@6>«c. 

 Extracted, white, 6@6".^c; light amber, SgS^c; 

 amber, VmA^c. Beeswax, good to choice, light, 

 26®2TAc; strictly fancy I'ght, 29(a30c. 



The country merchant, representative of 

 trade interests, estimates "entire stock of honey 

 of l')02 in the State at IS cars," worth 5'4@bc per 

 pound at primary points, subject to a $1.10 

 freight-rate to the East.
