 and gentlest golden bees that we ever had ; great 

 honev-gatherers, and not bad robbers. Our three- 

 band are the best of their kind. Frice of either, 

 untested, $1.00; tetsed, $2.00; breeders, $3.00. We 

 will make a very low price later in the season.

 RoBT. B. SriCER, Wharton, N. J. 



Queens reared scientifically from breeders per- 

 fected by years of elimination of all undesirable 

 traits ; are far better and more prolific than the 

 ones hatched from a natural swarm or supersedure 

 cells. We have the famous Moore strain of Italians, 

 and are giving every care to the perfection of cells 

 and mating. We have never had any disease in or 

 near our apiary. If you are interested, write us. 

 Untested queens, 75 cts.; dozen, $8.00.

Honey Repo'its continued from page 2. 



Indianapolis. — No arrivals of new honey at this 

 date. Best extracted honey sells at 11 to 12 in five- 

 gallon cans. Several cars of comb honey arrived 

 here during March, and much remains unsold in 

 jobbing houses, and no stable prices can be named 

 on comb honey at this writing. Beeswax is in good 

 demand, and producers are being paid 30 cents per 

 pouiid. Walter S. Pouder. 



Indianapolis, Ind., July 3. 



St. Louis. — So far we have not received any 

 shipments of new honey, and the market is entirely 

 bare. There is, however, no demand for it to speak 

 of at the present time, and the quotations are nom- 

 inal. Shipments of new Southern honey, in barrels, 

 are arriving, and the best light-amber honey is sold 

 at 7%. There is a good demand for it. We quote 

 fancy white comb honey at 16 to 17; No. 1 white 

 at 15 to 16; light amber, 13 to 14; dark, 8 to 11 ; 

 broken and leaking honey sells at much less. Ex- 

 tracted, none on the market. Southern in barrels, 

 7 1/2 ; in five-gallon cans, 8 to 8 V2 . Dark and in- 

 ferior will bring less. Beeswax is in good demand. 

 Prime brings 30 cents. Inferior and impure less. 



St. Louis, July 5. R. Hartmann Produce Co. 



Liverpool. — During the past fortnight we have 

 had a slow demand. At auction yesterday 74 bar- 

 rels of Chilian honey were offered; and, there being 

 no competition, sellers withdrew the lot with $7.68 

 bid for pile X and $7.20 for pile I. There is a 

 good inquiry for Chilian for direct shipment to the 

 Continent. Lately $6.22 c. i. f. was bid for 400 

 barrels: but at the moment sellers can not put 

 through the business. Other descriptions have sold 

 at different quotations: Haitien, $5.76 to $7.20; 

 Peruvian, $3.84 to $4.80; Chilian, $5.52 to $8.16; 

 Jamaican, $6.22 to $7.68; Californian, $9.60 to 

 $10.92. Californian, retail sales at steady prices. 

 Beeswax is in good demand. Forty sacks of Chilian 

 sold at $37.18 to $39.62; 3 cases Peruvian at $38.38 

 to $40.22 per cwt. Other descriptions are quoted 

 as follows: African, $32.16 to $34.48; Jamaican, 

 $37.72; West Indies, $32.64 to $33.28.

SPECIAL NOTICES 



By Our Business Manager 



We have about one hundred colonies of very fine 

 bees in Danzenbaker hives at our Philadelphia office, 

 which we offer at $9.00 per colony plus the price of 

 any grade of queen selected. They will be sent in 

 new hives, and are ready for instant shipment. 

 There is no hive better than the Danzenbaker for 

 the production of fancy comb honey, and this is an 

 exceptional opportunity to get some fine stock at a 

 nominal price.
