my advice, that is, when I get an order for a 

 queen, say they are cash with the order, and 

 no queen replaced, unless the dead iiueen is 

 returned. No honest man will object to this. 



I have read Mr. France's address on foul 

 brood in the American Bee Journal of April 

 16, and I shall study it closely, as he describes 

 it so clearly that it seems to me one can detect 

 the disease.

 not a newly-hatched chick, but I find I have 

 lots to learn, in fact in my ABC"s yet, al- 

 though I am 69. R. L. McCollet.

Feeding Bees. 



There are frequent inquiries in the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal and other bee-papers about 

 feeding bees. It may be of interest and per- 

 haps ielpful to some to know how I am feed- 

 ing 100 colonies at the present time. I began 

 feeding early in March, and the spring has 

 been so unfavorable that I have had to feed 

 more and more until I am now feeding all in 

 the yard. 



I feed granulated sugar syrup in the pep- 

 per-box or Hill feeders. By using an empty 

 hive-body for a super, or something of similar 

 depth, and then placing a chaff cushion in 

 this super so large as to cover feeder, bees and 

 all, one can feed very rapidly and satisfacto- 

 rily. It is important, of course, to have the 

 cushion fit snugly to all sides of the super. It 

 is not to be understood that I feed all my colo- 

 nies at one time. I have made twelve feeders 

 for the whole number. Edwin Bevins. 



Decatur Co., Iowa, May 8. 



Bees Wintered Well. 



I have 15 colonies of bees. All came through 

 the winter in fine shape. I did not lose even a 

 queen. They are doing well, considering the 

 cold weather we have had. 



E. C. Swift had two swarms the last week of 

 April. D. J. Price.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M\KKKT QUOTATKINS 





Chicaoo, May ".—The past winter and pres- 

 ent spring have been a disappointment to pro- 

 ducers and dealers in honey, in that the con- 

 sumption has been away below the average of 

 the past decade. Choice to fancy comb is held 

 at 15Cg^l6c per pound, with off grades at 2(aJ5c less 

 per pound. Extracied,' white, oigTc; ambers, 

 o(a'6)4c; dark, Sii@(ic. Beesiva.v in good demand 

 at 32c. R. A.BnRNETr iS Co. 



Kansas City, May 11.— The supply of comb 

 honey is about exhausted. The demand good. 

 We quote you as follows: Fancy white comb, 

 24 sections, per case, $3 SO; No. 1 white comb, 24 

 sections, $340; No. 2. white and amber, per 

 case, $3.0O(a3.25. Extracted, white, per pound, 

 6@6>^c; amber, SHc. Beeswax, 25(ai30c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, Apr. 27.— Little demand for comb 

 hone.v at present: fancy white sells at 15(gl6cin 

 a sm'all way. We quote amber extracted at 

 5ii@b%c; whiteclover,8@9c. Sales not as lively 

 as expected this season of vear. Cuban ex- 

 tracted is offered on all sides, and future prices 

 are awaited with intense interest. Beeswax 

 strong at 30c. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York, May 8. — The market on honey is 

 verv quiet and very little doing, with more than 

 sufficient supply on hand to meet the demand. 

 Fancy stock of comb honey is well exhausted, 

 while other grades are still plentiful and sell- 

 ing at 13 cents for No. 1, 12c for N. . 2, and lie 

 for amber; no demand for buckwheat. Ex- 

 tracted remains quiet at unchanged prices.

Cincinnati, May 8.— The demand for comb 

 honey is nearly over, but as the stock is almost 

 exhausted, prices keep up. Fancy water-white 

 brings I5@ific. The demand for extracted has 

 not changed whatever, and prices are as fol- 

 lows: Amber in barrels, S'A@5iic; in cans, 

 ()@t,iic; white clover, H(Sx%c. Beeswax, 28@3Dc. 

 C. H. W. Wbbbk. 



San Francisco, Apr. 29.— White comb honey, 

 12@12^c; amber, 9(ml0c; dark, 7ia»7>6c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6^(a)7c: light amber, S5^(a6c; 

 amber, S@S'ic; dark. 4@4!4c. Beeswax, good to 

 choice, light 27@29c; dark, 2S@26c. 



Last year's product has been tolerably well 

 cleaned uo, particularly the desirable stock. 

 Present offerings are largely odds and ends, in- 

 cluding little of fine quality. Valnes for the 

 time being are little more than nominal. A 

 lower range of prices is looked for on coming 

 crop.
