American Hee Jonrnal 



ChicA(;o. Oct. i:,— The hrni feeling noted 

 last month in comb honey continues, and 

 I7C per pound is obtainable for white clover 

 and linden comb where the wood attached 

 to the comb is allowed for. There is no sur- 

 plus of off grades, and the market is taking 

 practically all that comes with prices rang- 

 ing from i@5c per pound less according to 

 kind and condition. This includes the am- 

 ber grades as well as buckwheat. Extracted 

 white grades of clover and linden, including 

 water-white sage, sells at from g@ioc with 

 other white honey very slow of sale at a 

 range of from -@3c per pound. Ambers range 

 from 6@8c per pound, according to w hat gath- 

 ered from the Quality thereof Beeswax is

R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis, Oct. 17.— The demand for 

 extracted honey is good. Tiie demand for 

 comb is hardly satisfactory. We quote 

 choice comb $1 00 per case; white clover and

Walter S Pouder. 



Los Angeles, Oct. 17 —The honey and 

 beeswax market is considerably easier than 

 it was at last writing. Honey can be bought 

 in carload lots f. o. b. common shipping 

 point about as as follows: Alfalfa, light am- 

 ber, 4'4@'i'ic; sage, light amber. 4Ji&5C; sage. 

 water white, 7;'4@7/=c. Clioice yellow bees- 

 wax. 3rc per pound. 



These are the prices at which shippers 

 like ourselves are willing to sell at the pres- 

 ent moment. The supply is still largely in 

 excess of the demand, and business is rather 

 Quiet. Hamilton & Menderson.

 F'rank Rauchfuss. A/j^i-. 



New York. Oct. 17 —Owing to the short 

 ciopin comb honey in the eastern States, 

 receipts thus far have been rather light, but 

 on the other hand the demand is not up to 

 former years Some far western honey is 

 coming into our market and is selling at 

 around i4@it)C. according to quality, dark 

 and lower grades at from Iu@i2c. 



There is not much extracted honey in 

 white clover or linden, but quantities of 

 California and western are arriving to offset 

 the shortage here. We quote: White. 8.'2@oc. 

 light amber. 7@8c; lower grades. 6(s'7C. all 

 according to quality. Large quantities of 

 West India honey are arriving right along, 

 and take the place of domestic honey in a 

 good many instances on account of the low 

 price. We w(juld advise our southern ship- 

 pers not to make any shipments at all until 

 they correstiond with us first. 



Beeswax has been declining right along, 

 and we quote domestic at from 2«w.3oc per 

 pound for choice quality, and foreign, prin- 

 cipally West India at from 2S@27cper pound.

A Good Italian Queen 



(iinl/cmeii : — I wish to let you know 

 that I received the queens the day be- 

 fore your letter. They were very 

 prompt and much earlier than expected. 

 They arrived all right, and were suc- 

 cessfully introduced, but under the 

 most trying circumstances I ever saw. 

 The bees were extremely cross, so that 

 it was almost impossible to work with 

 them. I think it due mostly to very 

 little nectar coming in ; besides the 

 brood being nearly all hatched, they 

 were queenless quite a while. I ex- I 



Italian queens which I got the year 

 before. Several of the other Italian 

 queens averaged over 100 pounds per 

 colony, which, I think, pretty good for • 

 such a dry year as we had last year. I 

 Very little honey will be produced in ■ 

 this locality, but the young clover 

 plants are abundant, and the outlook is 

 good for next vear. D. H. Hoffman.
