comb with a Hutchinson cage. I left 

 her there five days, and in the mean- 

 time the laying- workers were making- 

 good use of their laying authority by 

 filling every cell at their command 

 with from one to sis eggs. Some were 

 even daring enough to lay on the 

 comb the queen was on. I had no 

 hope of her ever being received, but I 

 determined to release her, so armed 

 with this determination I went to the 

 hive, lifted the comb the queen was on, 

 and releast her among her rival layers, 

 when lo and behold ! she was received 

 loyally, and that was the last of the 

 laying workers. 



I notice that Dr. Miller advises unit- 

 ing a colony so infected with some 

 other one. Now I wish the Doctor, or 

 any other bee-keeper, would try the 

 above plan and report, if they think it 

 worthy of trial. I5ut probably no one 

 else would be so careless as to let lay- 

 ing workers get a hold.

Honey that Causes Throat-Bupning. 



In the American Bee Journal Dr. 

 Miller asks what the honey is gathered 

 from that causes a burning sensation 

 in the throat. We call it " hot honey." 

 We have had only one season that the 

 bees gathered it ; it was a dry season, 

 and they could not find anything else. 

 It was gathered from milkweed, or 

 snow-on-the-mountain, as some call it. 

 I took a sample of it to the national 

 convention held in St. Joseph, Mo., in 

 October, 1894, and I think most of the 

 members tasted it just before going to 

 dinner. I have some of it on hand 

 now ; it has improved a little with 

 age, but is not good yet.

I HONEY AND B&ESWftX l 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Cmic.\<vo, April I'f.— Market is well clean-d of 

 white comb honey; a little choice has sold re- 

 cently at lifC, but (lark and mixt goods are slow 

 of sale. Extracted, while, x(o')c; amber, "^aMc; 

 dark, tj^7c, according to quality and package. 

 ]iees\yax in good demand at 28c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 3.— There is spme demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers at 

 7to7^c for amber and Soutliern; clover, H('i-H^c. 

 Comb honey is selling firm at 14^^" l6i.^c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25^' 27c. 



C. H. W. Weber, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son and A. Mutb. 



Boston, March 9.— Our honey market is 

 showing some signs of lower prices, altho the 

 stock on hand is not large. At the same time 

 prices are so much higher than previous years 

 that the trade have taken it very slowly and the 

 results are that the holders are willing to rauge 

 prices quite a little in order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices range: Fancy white, 17fg>18c; No. 

 1, 15(^16c; amber, iO(ail2c; buckwheat almost un- 

 salable. Extracted, best white California, S^c. 

 Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Mar. 19.— We quote fancy white 

 comb, 15c; No. 1, 14c; No. 1 amber, 13c; No. 2 

 amber, 13Mc. Extracted, white, Sc; amber, 7c; 

 dark, 6c. Beeswax, 22@25c 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Detroit, Feb. 10. — Fancy white comb,15@16c; 

 No 1, white, 13(al4c; fancy amber, ll(a'12c; dark 

 and undesirable lots, S@10c. Extracted, white, 

 7@7J^c; amber and dark,5(a'6c. Beeswax, 25(§i26c. 

 Supply' of honey fair with light demand. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Buffalo, April 20. — For strictly fancy white 

 one-pound comb honey we are getting 16@17c. 

 Any grade sells high— 10(ft'15c, as to grade. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, April 9,— Market is practically 

 bare of comb honey of all description. Little 

 lots arriye here and there and sell readily at 

 from 10(a*Hc for buckwheat and HfS'lSc for 

 white, according to quality and style of pack- 

 age. The market is well supplied with ex- 

 tracted, which we think, however, will be moved 

 before the new crop arrives. Beeswax is in 

 good demand at from 27c to 29c per pound. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Apr. 11.— White comb, 11>^@ 

 12;^c; amber, 8(a)10c. Extracted, white, 7J4@8c. 

 light amber, 7(§'7Hc; amber. S^iSJ^c; Beeswax, 

 26(ai27c. 



Stocks of last crop are nearly exhausted, with 

 present business in the same mainly of a light 

 lobbing character at practically same rates as 

 lately current. New crop is expected to put in 

 an appearance in quotable quantity inside of 30 

 days. The yield north of Tehechapi will be a 

 fair average, but very light south of the point 

 named. 



Omaha, Mar. 13.— Demand shows some im- 

 provement in January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14(al4^c for 

 fancy white comb and S^c for white extracted. 

 The latter is pretty well cleaned up along the 

 Missouri River, and it looks as if there would 

 be some shortage before another crop comes in. 

 From present appearances there is about enough 

 comb honey to go around at the present prices, 

 hence we look for no particular change in 

 values. Peycke Bros.
