The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so tar as possible, quota- 

 tions, are made according to these rules: 



F.\NCY.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 •straight, of even thickness, and (Irmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



No. 1,— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



1 n addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber aud dark. That is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No 1 dark," etc.
