Unoccupied 

 Bee Range . . . 

 80 Miles Long 



I am situated at the junction of the 

 Gila and San Pedro Rivers, in Central 

 Arizona, and for 80 miles south up the 

 San Pedro Pviver is unoccupied bee 

 range of Mesquite, etc. Any three 

 miles of the San Pedro Valley will sup- 

 port 150 colonies or more. Any loca- 

 tion would be good for raising early 

 queens. I have for sale, located three 

 miles from a railroad, 40 acres of un- 

 improved fruit land and 110 colonies 

 of bees in Langstroth hives that I run 

 for extracted honey; also good extract- 

 ing outfit. I sell all my honey at a 

 mining town four miles from home. 

 I have lots of calls for comb honey. 

 Will sell at a very low figure. If you 

 want to buy, write to

Honey Markets, continncd from page 2. 



Chicago. — The sale of honey so tar this month 

 has been only moderate; and while the stocks were 

 light in quantity at the beginning of the season, 

 they are rather heavy at the close. This may be 

 attributed in part to the cry that went out last au- 

 tumn that honey was very scarce, and would be 

 high in price, thus making the more or less steady 

 consumers feel that they could not aflford to buy of 

 the crop of 1911. Prices are unchanged from our 

 last quotation, but the volume of sales is less. Bees- 

 wax is taken readily at 30 to 32. 



Chicago, March 18. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



New York. — We have practically nothing new 

 to report. The market remains in about the same 

 condition. Comb honey is well cleaned up, and 

 what few small lots arrive find ready sale at former 

 prices. Extracted is not moving very fast. There 

 is a plentiful supply of all grades excepting Califor- 

 nia water-white and white sage, which is pretty 

 well cleaned up. Prices remain about the same as 

 in our former report; but in quantity lots even 

 these prices have to be shaded in order to eflfect 

 sales. Beeswax is steady at 30 to 31. 



New York, March 18. IIildreth & Segelkin. 



St. Louis.— Since our report of March 4 our hon- 

 ey market has remained unchanged. The stocks 

 of comb honey are light, and the supply of extract- 

 ed honey is abundant but not burdensofne. We 

 quote fancy white comb hone.v at 17 cts.; No. 1, 15 

 to 16; light amber, 13 to 14; dark, 8 to 11. Broken 

 and leaking honey sells at much less. Extracted 

 light-amber California brings 8^ to 9: Southern 

 light amber, 8 to 8^ in five-gallon cans; Southern 

 in barrels, 7 to 7!4 for light amber. Beeswax, prime, 

 30; impure and inferior, less.
