THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



799 



Kood as a partly-filled super, is a single 

 section-holder with its four sections well 

 filled out, taking adhering bees and all, 

 and putting in the center of the super. 



J. A. Green — 1. This is a very good 

 way to get a backward colony started at 

 work in the sections when all the condi- 

 tions seem right except inclination. 2. 

 Bait sections are less trouble when they 

 do the business, but sometimes they do 

 not. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — 1. Yes, if you 

 wish to equalize and have everything 

 filled. We have often given a light col- 

 ony a good super to finish while we gave 

 its nearly empty super to the other, and 

 had both well filled; but this method is 

 not always successful. 



G. W. Demaree— 1. No. 2. No. En 

 my system of bee-keeping, one single 

 partly-drawn comb is sure to start the 

 bees; in fact, my bees always enter the 

 sections without delay, if there is a good 

 honey-flow, and nothing but foundation 

 starters are really necessary. 



HONEY and BEESWAX 



UlARKEX QIJOTATIO-liS. 



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 

 stralgbt, of even thickness, and flrmly 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 ceils unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-staia 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. 



Chicag'O, 111., Nov. 18.— Fancy whitp. 12® 

 13c.; No. 1, 10@llc.; lancy amber, 9@l0c.; 

 No. 1.7@8c. ; fancy darli. 9c.; No. 1, '©Sc. 

 Bitracted. white, o@7c. ; amber. o@6c. ; dark, 

 i'Ac. Beeswax, 260,2 Tc. 



Comb honey is selling very slowly. 



Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 7.— Fancy white 

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

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

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



Comb honey arriving freely and market 

 overstocked at present. 



Detroit, Mich. ; Nov. 7.— No. 1 white, 12- 

 I'iVzC.y fancy amber, 10-llc.i No. I amber. 9- 

 10c. ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, .5-4 

 -6c.; amber, 5-5Hc. ; dark. 4-.5c. Beeswax, 

 24-25C. 



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

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

 white, 6-7c. Beeswax. 22-2oc. 



Demand is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades. 



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

 12c.; off grades. 10@Hc.; buckwheat. SSOc. 

 No change in extracted. Beeswax firm at 26 

 @27c. 



The market is well supplied with comb 

 honey of all grades and styles. Fancy white 

 Is in fair demand, while off grades white and 

 buckwheat are moving oil rather slowly, 



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

 i:sc.; No. 1. ll-12c.; fancy amtier, 9-10o'; 

 No. 1 dark, 8-9c. Extracted, wiiite, 0-7c. ; 

 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 weigiilng less 

 than a pound. 



Boston, Mass., Nov. 6.— Fancy white, 13 

 14c.; No. 1. 11-12C. Extracted, white, 6-7c.; 

 amber, 5-6c. Beeswax, 25c. 



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

 10@14c., according to quality. Extracted, 3^ 

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

 while the supply is good. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 20@25c. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



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

 14-15C.; 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 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 tor honey of all 

 kinds. 



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

 14i4@loc.; No. I white. 12!4(ai3c. Extracted, 

 white, 6(270.; amber, 4!4@.5'/ic. 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 fall. 



St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 9.— Fancy white, 14o.; 

 No. 1 white, 12(at:ic.: fancy amber. Il(ai2c.: 

 No. 1 amber. lOQlU^o.: fancy dark, 9@9!4c,;

 6@7c.; in barrels. .=i@3i/5c.; amber, 4^@4?4c.; 

 dark, ■.i'A®ic. Beeswax, 26Vj@27c.

 comb. 10c. ; amber, 7/i-9o. Extracted, white, 

 5-5i4c.; light amber, 4^-oc.; amber colored 

 and candled. 39:^-4 Vjc ; dark tule. 2Ji-3c. 



Beeswax, fair to choice, 2o-27i4c. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 7. — Fancy 

 white, 12S4C.; No. 1 white. 10@llc.; fancy 

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

 darlf, 7@8c. ; No. 1 dark. 6-8c. Extracted, 

 white. 5!4©6Hc.: amber, 5©.5^c,; dark. 4® 

 5c. Beeswax, 23((}26c. 



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. 



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

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

 comb, 1-pound, 12-13c.; fair to good. 9-lOc. ;

Demand is much better tor fancy, but com- 

 mon stock is very dull at any price.
