IVrite for f rices by the hiiticired 



Chicago, April 17.— Honey has sold quite 

 well during the past 30 da \'s. and while stocks 

 are not heav-y, it takes some time to work 

 them off, as buyers take only small quanti- 

 ties at this time of the year. There is not 

 much difference in price. Fancy grades of 

 white clover and linden bring from I4f«'i5c 

 per pound. Sweet clover and alfalfa from 

 iCSs per pound less with the light amber 

 grades ranging from within i@'2c per pound 

 of the sweet clover. Extracted white clover 

 and basswood 8@oc per pound; other white 

 grades from 7('"ic per pound: ambers about 

 tc per pound less. Beeswax selling upon 

 arrival at from 33c@35c per pound, accord- 

 ing to color and cleanliness. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Los Angeles, April 20.— The market on 

 honey and wax is purely nominal. A few 

 carloads of light amber honey are available 

 for shipment at about he per pound, while 

 beeswax is practically out of the market. 

 Hamilton & Mendrrson. 



Boston. .April 20.— Fancy and No. i white 

 comb. I5@i()cper pound. Fancy white ex- 

 tracted in 6o-pound cans, iic per pound. 

 Beeswax. 30c.' Blake. Lee Company. 



Kansas City. Mo., April 15.— An error of a 

 dollar a case on No. i white comb honey was 

 made in our last quotations. Same should 

 have read $2.75 instead of $375- The supply of 

 both comb and extracted is not large— de- 

 mand light. We quote as follows; No, i 

 white comb. 24 sections per case. $2,00 to 

 J2.75. No. 2. $2. so. White extracted, per lb.. 

 He; amber. 7^7j^c. Beeswax. No. r. 30c; No. 2. 

 25c. C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Denver. April 7. — Our market is getting 

 fairly cleaned up on comb honey, and by the 

 time the new crop comes on. it looks as 

 though it would be all used up. Jobbing 

 prices are as follows: Strictly No i white, 

 fancy stock, per case. $2.^2. Choice, good 



color and heavy weight, per case. $2.30. No 

 2. well tinished. fair color, per case, $2.25.

Indianapolis. April 17— Fancy whitecomb 

 honey is being offered here at 1()@I7C 

 per pound: amber comb at I4@i5c. White 

 clover extracted of^'ioc in .s-gallon cans. 

 Much comb is being held here, but at this 

 wilting there is very little demand. Ex- 

 tracted is in fair demand. Producers are 

 being paid 32c cash for beeswax or 34c in 

 trade. Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. April 18.— The demand for 

 honey is somewhat improved from what it 

 was 30 days ago. The stocks are heavy, and 

 hardly think the prices for next season will 

 be as stiff as last season. We continue to 

 sell our fancy comb honey in the wholesale 

 way at $3.75 a case delivered. Our extracted 

 table honey from 7'^(o'iuc a pound; our am- 

 ber extracted honey from 5J4@6!-3C and lYtC a 

 pound, according to the quality and quan- 

 tity purchased. For choice bright yellow 

 beeswax we are paying 32c a pound deliver 

 ed here, and 34c a pound in trade for sup- 

 plies. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York. April 20.— We have nothing 

 new to report While there is as yet some 

 demand for fancy and No. i white comb 

 honey, it does not count for much, and other 

 grades which were shipped to us late in the 

 season when the demand was pretty well 

 over, are practically unsalable and we have 

 several lots in stock which we would rather 

 not have had sent to us at all. If it had been 

 shipped early we could have disposed of it. 

 but now we have it on our hands and would 

 rather not have received it at all. Extracted 

 honey is very quiet. There is some demand 

 for strictly fancy white clover while other 

 grades are neglected. Prices remain about 

 the same as in our last quotations.

Untested ITALIAN QBEEN-BEES 



OUR STANDARD-BRED 



6 Queens for $6.00; 



3 for $3.50; 1 for $1.25 



For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens 

 purely mated, and all right in every respected. Here is 

 what one of those who received our Queens has to 

 say about them. 



Amerhan Bee Journal- , , , , 



(;,-////f;«i'«— Last October I purchased three queens of you 

 for my experiments with different queens, and wish to ask you 

 if queens of this season will be of this stock ? One of the Queens 

 is the most remarkable queen I ever owned for prolihcness, 

 which she transmits to all her daughters. ,,,,,, 



Riddle, Oreg., July 4. 1012, L. W. Wells. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and con- 

 tinue thereafter on the plan of " first come first served." 

 The price of one of our Untested Queens alone is $1.25, 

 or with the old .\merican Bee Journal for one year, both 

 for $l.t)0. Three Queens (without Bee Journal) would 

 be $;( 50, or six for $(i.llO. Full instructions for introduc- 

 ing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the un- 

 derside of the address card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine 

 Standard-bred Queens.
