Honey & Beeswax Market Qaotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Amerioan bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions, are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled; cotnhs 

 strait! bt, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsciiied by trivei-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 croolted. detached at the bottom. 

 or with but few cells unsealed; both wood 

 and comb unsolled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and darli. That is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No. 1 darli."etc.

looking apiary. My bees are not doing 

 well now. In the spring they did well 

 for a short time. One colony swarmed 

 three times, two coloiiies swarmed twice 

 each, and one colony swarmed once. 

 They did all their swarming in April, 

 beginning the 6lh, and about the first of 

 May theswarming impulse wasciit short. 



The prospect for honey is poor yet.

Doing Finely — Good Prospects. 



Bees are doing finely. Prospects are 

 good for a good honey crop.

 can Bee Journal. Geo, H. Weed.

Toothache Belief— Sticky Fly-Paper. 



As bee-keepers are as apt to have 

 toothache as any one else, I here want 

 to say for their benefit that a little bak- 

 ing soda, or powdered alum, applied to 

 the aching tooth will sometimes relieve 

 the pain. 



Some one has said that it was cruel to 

 catch the flies on sticl<y paper, but when 

 we can make it ourselves it is so cheap 

 that we can afford to put up a new sheet 

 everyday, and burn it at night. Here 

 is the way to make it : 



Heat together >3 pint of honey and one 

 pint of castor-oil; when hot, add I>i 

 pounds of resin. Stir till all is dissolved 



and well mixed. Spread on paper. It 

 will keep all summer. This recipe is 

 not original, but I hope the author will 

 forgive me for copying it, as I thought 

 it was worth repeating. 



To all appearance we shall not have 

 much honey for market this year. There 

 is any amount of clover bloom, but so 

 tnuch rain and cool weather that the 

 bees have been unable to gather what 

 the heavy rains did not wash out.

Report from Florida — Good Tield. 



I have plenty of honey on hand, but 

 not much sale here for it. I have 90 

 colonies of Italian bees. From my best 

 colony I have taken 63 pounds of ex- 

 tracted, and 16-± pounds of section 

 honey, making in all 227 pounds from 

 the one colony. John L. Nail.

Swarming on White Clover. 



Bees are swarming on white clover — I 

 have not seen the like in eight years. I 

 had the first swarm on June 15 ; on the 

 18th my scale hive gained 9J^ pounds. 

 I got a queen from an Ohio breeder last 

 fall, and she is a dandy. Her bees are 

 all yellow, and will swarm in a few days.
