Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



CHICAGO, III., Jan. 18. -White clover and 

 linden comb honey Is scarce and commands a 

 premium over other grades of white of 1 to 3 

 cents per pound. There Is a fair supply of 

 other grades, which bring: 12@13c. for white, 

 and amber to dark ranges at 9@llc. Ex- 

 tracted is without special change; the West- 

 ern ambers at 4!4@3c.; white. 5@6c.; clover 

 and basswood in cans and barrels, 6@7c.

Comb Foundation Without Sidewalls. 



I see that B. Taylor advocates foundation 

 without any sidewalls. Now, there seems 

 to be quite a difference in our experiments. 

 The past season I tried about 40 brood- 

 frames with foundation that had no side- 

 walls, and it did not "pan out" as well 

 with me. Last spring I bought 1.5 or 10 

 pounds of foundation, thinking that would 

 be all I would need, but I run short and 

 had to buy some more. One of my neigh- 

 bors was going over to see a person who 

 bad some foundation to sell, and 1 sent with 

 him for 5 or 6 pounds, and when he showed 

 It to me I told him that I thought the bees 

 would be just as liable to build drone-comb 

 out of it as worker-comb; and so they did. 

 Some of it they worked out all right, into 

 worker-comb, and some they worked into 

 drone-comb. There were a 'few combs that 

 the bees would work out all right on one 

 side, and not even touch on the other side. 

 Now, I do not know what makes so much 

 difference in our experiments, unless it was 

 that I did not use wire in my frames. Let 

 that be as it may, I shall never try the ex- 

 periment again. W.m. "Ckaig.

Wintering- Bees. 



I am making a new hive which I think 

 will be better for Northern bee-keepers, as 

 the winters are so long. I make the 

 frame 15 inches long, and 13 inches deep, 

 inside measure. I am making a few to try, 

 and will report next year. 



In 1894 I had 10 good, strong colonies 

 which I wintered on the summer stands, 

 and two colonies left when spring came. 

 With a frame 19 inches long and 9 inches 

 deep, at both ends of the frame it was 

 chock-full of honey, and the bees starved 

 to death in the middle of the frame. They 

 ate to the top and then starved. It was a 

 hard winter on bees, we all know, so I 

 think a deeper frame would winter them 

 better as far north as this. 



I have two colonies yet on the summer 

 stands, facing the south, with cornfodder 

 around them, and wheat chaff in the top- 

 box. I got about 40 pounds of comb honey 

 from them this year. It was terribly dry 

 here last summer, but we are geting lots of 

 rain now, and about three inches of snow.

Sweet Clover Honey — Hives. 



I had 18 colonies, spring count; had 3 

 prime swarms, and one that I found which 

 had taken possession of an empty hive I 

 produced 2.000 pounds of choice comb 

 honey, and SO pounds of extracted, all, or 

 nearly all, being from sweet clover, which 

 grows on the public roads for several miles 

 in all directions from my bee-yard. With- 

 out this honey-plant I think our crop would 

 have been nearly a total failure. 



I have sold my entire product at 13 cents, 

 and have had a market for it all. Ten 

 miles south of me there was no sweet 

 clover, and there was not much honey, 

 either. If sweet clover is cut at different 

 dates it puts out new shoots and blooms 

 again in a short time. Some of my neigh- 

 bors mowed the roads opposite their land 

 three times during the season, and in this 

 way we had a continual honey-flow until 

 frost. I did not have one section of dark 

 honey. 



I observe that some bee-keepers extract 

 unfinished sections, and use the combs the 

 next season. I used to practice that 

 method, but do not do so any more, as the 

 honey stored in the combs once used, with 

 me, was never flrst-class the next season. 

 Now I cut out the combs, melt them for 

 wax, and use the sections for kindling 

 wood. 



I use mostly a large hive, lO-frame Lang-

 top-bars. My average of honey and increase 

 lor the past three seasons: 1893, honey 110 

 lbs., increase, 90 % ■ 1894, honey, 114 lbs in- 

 crease, 90 ;,, ; 1895, honey, 58 lbs., increase. 



This locality was visited by a quite hard 

 frost in May, which destroyed all tree bloom 

 and buds in the valleys, so the bees had to go 

 on the ridges miles away for supplies, so I got 

 14 crop of honey and uo increase.
