Vsing Viiflnisiied Sections Again. 



Qnery 36.— Will unfinished sections of full 

 depth, when filled with honey the second 

 time, and capped over, make first-class comb 

 honey ?— Ohio. 



J. A. Green — No. 



R. L. Taylor— No. 



Eugene Secor — Yes. 



H. D. CuttinK— Yes. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— Yes. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— No. 



W. G. Larrabee — Yes, if the comb is 

 ■cut down. 



Cbas. Dadant & Son — Not so good as 

 the freshly built. 



J. M. Hambaugh — The comb, I be- 

 lieve, is never so crisp and tender. 



A. F. Urown — No, not unless you re- 

 •duce the depth of cells to M or % inch. 



J. E. Pond — No, not in my apiary. It 

 will make a fair class of honey, though, 

 as a rule. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — Not if they are kept 

 over till the next season, before being 

 filled the second time. 



E. France — No. They may look well, 

 but when you come to use them you will 

 find they are not first-class. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— That depends. If 

 <'leaned out in tlie summer or fall, a,nd 

 by t/ie bees, they're all right; otherwise 

 not. 



G. M. Doolittle — I prefet to reduce the 

 depth of cells by shaving down, or with 

 a comb leveler, when such sections will 

 give first-class honey in every respect. 



C. H. DIbbern — No. Honey filled in 

 such combs is never so white as when 

 newly built. Another peculiarity is that 

 the boney Is apt to sour and bulge out 

 the cappings, causing It to leak. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — According to my 

 •observation, the comb will not be first- 

 class, but they are of great help when 

 alternated with unfilled sections, to get 

 the bees to start work in the supers. 



G. W. Demaree — It depends upon the 

 ihoney-flow and state of the weather as 



to whether they will or will not. If the 

 nectar Is gathered rapidly the full-depth 

 combs will be filled and sealed before the 

 nectar has time to evaporate to standard 

 thickness, and the surface of the combs 

 will have a watery appearance. I use a 

 hot plate of tin to reduce the depth of 

 the cells. 



Rev. M. Mahin— If the cells are full 

 depth the comb honey will not be strictly 

 first-class in appearance. If the cells 

 are shortened a little, and the combs 

 have been kept perfectly clean, the 

 honey will pass as first-class.

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: 



Fancy.— 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 unsoiled 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 wili be "fancy 

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



Chicago, 111. , Nov. 18.— Fancy whitp. 12(a 

 13c.: No. 1, lOiailc; lancy amber, 9(ai0c.; 

 No. l,7(88c.; fancy dark, 9c.; No. 1, 7(a8c. 

 Extracted, white, 5(®7c.; amber, 5(^6c.; dark, 

 4i4c. iJeeswax. 26(a27c. 



Comb honey is selling very slowly. 



Philadelphia, Fa.,ITov. 7,— Fancy white 

 comb, 1.1-14C ; No. 1 white. 11- 12c.; fancy 

 amber. lO-Uc; dark. 8-9c. Extracted, white, 

 6-8o. ; amber, 4-5c. ; dark, 3-lc. Beeswax, 26c. 



Comb honey arriving freely and market 

 overistocked at present. 



Detroit, Mich.; Not. 7.— No. 1 white, 12- 

 1 ;Ho.; fancy amber, lO-llc: No. 1 amber, 9- 

 lOc; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 5 ^ 

 -6c.; amber, 5-5 Wc; dark. 4-oc. Beeswax, 

 24-25 c. 



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

 ll-loc; No. I white, l'2-13c. Extracted, 

 while. 6-7c. Beesv/ax, 22-25c. 



Demand is lair lor grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades. 



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

 12c.; i.ff grades, lOiSUo.; buckwheat, 8®9c. 

 No change in extracted. Beeswax firm at 26 

 (a27c. 



The market Is well supplied with comb 

 honey of all grades and styles. Fancy white 

 Is in fair demand, whlieofl grades white and 

 buckwheat are moving oil rather slowly. 



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

 13c.; No. 1. 11-12C.; fancy amber. 9-10o'; 

 No. 1 (lark, 8-9c. Extracted, wiilte, 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 

 styes except paper cartous weighing less 

 than a pound. 



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

 101014c.. according to quality. Extracted, 'Ay, 

 @6c. t)emaud Is slow for all kinds of honey, 

 while the supply is good. 



Beeswax Is m good demand at 20@25c. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



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

 14-I5C.; No. 1, 12-13C.; No. 1 amber, 8-lOc. 

 Extracted, white. 6-7c.; 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 concumpllon 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 tor honey of all 

 kinds. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 7.— Fancy white, 

 14W(ai5c.: No. 1 white. 12H®13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6a7c.; amber. 4Ha5Sc. Beeswax, 22 

 @25c. 



There Is not very much honey In our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 In this line this tall. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Nov. 9.— Fancy white, t4o.; 

 No. 1 white, l-i&lJc.; fancy amber, ll(ai2c.: 

 No. 1 amber. 10O10(4c.; fancy dark, 9@9!4c.; 

 No. 1 (lark, 7@8c. Extracted, white, in cans, 

 6(a7c.; in barrels, 5@5!4c.; amber, 4^4(a45ic.; 

 dark. 3'/4@4c. Beeswax, 26i4(a27c. 



Baker stock of exiracted honey, 4@5c ; 

 stock very scarce. Fair receipts of comb. 

 Beeswax in good demand. 



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

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

 5-5V4C.: light amber, 4V4-5c.: amber colored 

 and candled. 3Ji-4J4c ; dark rule. 2=li-3c. 



Beeswax, fair to choice, 25-27!4c. 



Minneapolis, Minn,, Nov. 7. — Fancy 

 white. 12i4c.; No. 1 white. 10(ailo. ; fancy 

 amber. 9(ai0c.; No. 1 amber. 8!89c.; fancy 

 dark, 7@8c.; No. 1 dark. 6-8c. Extracte(i, 

 while. 5%&6iic.: amber, o@ay,c.; dark. 4(2 

 5c. Beeswax, 23C(S26c. 



The demand tor both comb and extracted Is 

 very quiet, and lor the latter, nominal. The 

 hot weather of the past week or so has checked 

 demand for comb honey. 



Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 7.— Fancy white 

 comb. 15c. ; No. 1 white, 13@14c.; fancy 

 amber. 12-13c.; No. 1 amber. H-12C.; fancy

 comb, ipound, 12-13c.; fair to good, 9-10o.;

 14c.; No. 1, I1-12C. Extracted, white, 6-7c.;
