RASPBERRY HONEY 



Our bees in Northern Michigan are storing raspberry honey. 

 At this writing, June !•>, some colonies have on their second 

 super, and by the time this issue of Gle.aning.s reaches its read- 

 ers it is likely that some colonies will have on three supers. By 

 the time another number of Gleanings is sent out we shall 

 probably be extracting. 



Heretofore we have never offered the honey for sale until it 

 was actually in the cans and stored at the railroad station. This 

 causes a delay. Sometimes the honey has been extracted a 

 month before we get orders for it. It would be an advantage to 

 us and to buyers if we could have orders in advance. Then we 

 should not have to go to the trouble and expense of storing it, but 



could ship it at once as soon as otf tlie hives, while customers 

 would get their honey that much earlier in the season. If any 

 one cares to send us advance orders, such orders will be greatly 

 appreciated, and the honey will be shipped the very day that it 

 goes into the cans. 



The honey will be put up in bright nezu 60-pound tin cans, two 

 cans in a case, and the price is ten cents a pound, or $12.00 for a 

 case of two cans. Remember, mis is wild-red-raspberry honey, 

 and will not be extracted until all sealed over and thoroughly 

 ripened, and will be thick, rich, and delicious.

will be a profitable 

 j^l industry this season. 



Honey is high— short crop last year. The shortage of the honey crop for 1907 in the United States 

 •warrants bee-keepers to increase their colonies. About a half crop was produced, and in California, wbpre 

 the cheap honey comes from, only a quarter of the average crop was produced.
