this year, in short, they fully demon- 

 strated that such an Insect does not ex- 

 ist in the State. They have broken all 

 records, and swarmed from early morn 

 to dewy eve, and from May to Novem- 

 ber. After the close of the meeting the 

 question (not on the program) of how to 

 induce the bee-keepers to attend the con- 

 ventions in larger numbers, was consid- 

 ered. Numbers would add greatly to 

 the interest of the meetings. If the year 

 has been poor and the crop light, there 

 are no better places than the conven- 

 tions to talk over the failures, and if the 

 season has been one of success, what is 

 more stimulating than a union jubilee? 



Next May we hope to shake'the hand 

 of every bee-keeper in the Nutmeg State.

HONEY and BEESWAX 



iviAKKKX <ii;oxAxio:\s. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancv,— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly 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 uneolled 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 dark. That Is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No. 1 dark," etc. 



CMcag-o, IU.,lTov. 7.— Fancv white. 12® 

 13c.; No. 1,11c.; fancy amber, 9@10c.; No. 1, 

 7@9c.; lancy dark. 8@9c.; No. 1, 7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@7c. ; amber. 5@6c.; dark, 

 4H@5c. Beeswax, 26327c. 



The market up to. and at this time, is dull. 

 The volume of sales is unusually small lor 

 this season of the year; especially Is this true 

 of comb. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Nov, 7,— Fancy white 

 comb. l:!-14c.; No. 1 white. ll-12c.; fancy 

 amber. 10-llc»; dark. 8-9c. Extracted, white, 

 6-80.; amber, 4-5c. ; dark, 3-1 c. Beeswax, 26c.

 overstocked at present.

 12'/4c.; fancy amber, 10-llc.; No. 1 amber. 9- 

 10c. ; fancy dark, 8-Oc. Extracted, white, 5V4

 24-25C. 



Indianapolis, Ind., ITov. 7.— Fancy white. 

 H-loc; No. 1 white. 12-13c. Extracted,

 demand for inferior grades.

 @ilic.; No. 1 white, 12@12i4c.; fancy amber, 

 ll@lli4c.: No. 1 amber. 10@10'/4c.; fancy 

 dark, S@9c. ; No. 1 dark, 7@7Hc. Extracted, 

 white. In cans.oc. ; in barrels. 4@4>4c. I amber, 

 3@:ii/jC.; dark, 2i4@3c. Beeswax, 19@20c. 



Very little honey coming in at present, and 

 the weather is too warm to handle to advan- 

 tage if it were here. 



New York, N. Y , Nov. 7.— Fancy white, 

 12c.; off grades. lOOllc; buckwheat. 8®!)c. 

 No change In extracted. Beeswax firm at 26 

 ®27e. 



The market Is well supplied with comb 

 honey of all grades and styles. Fancy white 

 is in fair demand, wiiile off grades white and 

 buckwheat are moving oil* rather slowly. 



Albany, N. Y., Nov. 7.— Fancy white, 12- 

 13c.; No. 1. 11-12C.; fancy amber, 9-lOc-; 

 No. 1 dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 6-7c. ; 

 dark. 4-5c. 



The receipts of both comb and extracted 

 honey are very large, and prices are some- 

 what lower. We have an ample stock of all 

 styles except paper cartons weighing less 

 than a pound. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 7.— Comb honey, 

 10@14c., according to quality. Extracted, '3y, 

 @6c. Demand Is slow for all kinds of honey, 

 while the supply Is good. 



Beeswax Is in good demand at 20@25o. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



San Prancisco, Calif., Nov. 7. — White 

 comb, 10c. ; amber\ 7>4-9c. Extracted, white, 

 .o-oVic; light amber, 4^-5c. ; amber colored 

 and candled. 'Mi-i'^ic ; dark tule. 2^-'ic.

 white, 6@7c.; amber, 4>4@o^o. Beeswax, 22 

 ((i,"r5c. 



There Is not very much honey In our mar- 

 ket. Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little belter. Think trade will be fair 

 In this line this fall. 



Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 7.— Fancy white, 

 14-15C.; No. 1, 12-13C.; No. 1 amber, 8-lOc. 

 Extracted, white. 6-7o. ; amber, 5-6c.; dark, 

 4-5c. Beeswax. 22-24c. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward. 

 The demand Is very poor and quotations al- 

 most nominal. Weather Is very warm and 

 the consumption of honey Is very small. 

 Plenty of fruit, and hence the appetite is sat- 

 isfied with same In preference. Later on we 

 expect an Improved demand for honey of all 

 kinds. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 7. — Fancy 

 white. 12^ic.; No. 1 white. lOcailc; fancy 

 amber. 9@10c.: No. 1 amber. 8@9c.; fancy

 white, 5!4@6S4c. ; amber, 5@5^^c. ; dark. 4® 

 5c. Beeswax, 23®26o. 



The demand for both comb and extracted Is 

 very quiet, and for the latter, nominal. The 

 hot weather of the past week or so has checked 

 demand for comb honey.

 comb, loc; No. 1 white, 13@14c.; fancy
