sulphide, and the combs have to be 

 subjected to its fumes for a much 

 longer time. 



When using bisulphide, the length 

 of time necessary to expose the combs 

 to its fumes depends upon how tight 

 the box or whatever is used to treat 

 them in can be closed, and its size — 

 no matter, tho, how long brood-combs 

 are exposed to these fumes, it does not 

 injure them in the least ; but as a mat- 

 ter of economy, merely, one would not 

 desire to treat them for a longer time 

 than is necessary, and this is an easy 

 matter to tell ; for if, upon lifting out 

 one of the combs, and one dead worm 

 is found, they are all dead, for this 

 stuff shows no favor, but kills all, big 

 or little alike, and at the same or very 

 nearly the same time. It is entirely 

 different in this respect from the fumes 

 of sulphur, for with sulphur, as those 

 who have used it have probably no- 

 ticed, the small worms are killed in 

 much less time than the large ones ; 

 and if, as my experiments last summer 

 lead me to believe, there is one grade 

 or kind of bisulphide that will not in- 

 jure section honey, it will be a great 

 boon to bee-keepers in localities where 

 moth-worms are as troublesome as they 

 are here, for, except when they are 

 quite small, it is impossible to kill them 

 in comb honey with the fumes of sul- 

 phur unless the combs are treated long 

 enough to become discolored, which, in 

 the case of section honey, may injure 

 or prevent its sale altogether ; and 

 after worms reach a certain size, say 

 one inch in length, it is impossible to 

 kill them at all with sulphur unless the 

 combs they are in are treated so long 

 that they become fairly green in color. 

 But for some reason moth-worms de- 

 velop much more rapidly in brood- 

 combs than they do in section honey. 

 On this account it is not so difficult a 

 matter to keep the latter free of them 

 by the use of sulphur, provided they 

 are treated in time, and often enough 

 so the worms do not reach much size ; 

 for when the worms are verj' small 

 they can be killed by the fumes of sul- 

 phur without discoloring the combs in 

 the least ; but sulphur has no effect on 

 the moth-eggs, and the great advan- 

 tage of bisulphide to treat brood-combs 

 is that it kills the eggs also, so only 

 one treatment is necessary if the combs 

 are afterward put where the moth- 

 miller does not have access to them.

R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 8.— The demand for ex- 

 tracted honey is slow, while the shipments are 

 many. I quote as follows: White clover, Sffii 

 8!^c; Southern and amber, t^Onlc. Comb honey 

 sells as fast as it arrives at the following prices: 

 Fancy, 16(f>l6Mic; No. 1, 15c. Beeswax, trood de- 

 mand, 2Sc. C. H. W. Weber,

 A 1, 15@16c; No. 1, 15c; No. 2, 12(ail3c. Extracted 

 honey from ~%iuH%c, as to quality. 



It is too early in the season and too warm for 

 any inquiry on honey, so prices named are only 

 nominal. The prospects in this vicinity seem 

 to be for a light crop. Blake, Scott & L,ee. 



Kansas City, Aug. 30.— Fancy white comb 

 honey firm, 12-section case, 15 cents per pound; 

 24-section case, 14c; No. 1 amber, 24-section case, 

 13(('13^c. Demand good. Extracted firm at 

 6^''8 cents, as to qu ility. Beeswax scarce at 35c.

Stocks continue light, and market inclines in 

 favor of sellers. Indications are that the vield 

 in this State is one of the smallest on record. 

 Most of the business is of a light jobbing char- 

 acter, necessarily so on account of the limited 

 offerings. Water white honey remains in slim 

 supply, and dark honey is also scarce, spot sup- 

 plies being principally amber.

 this line, and would like to hear from all who
