want to disturb them until a warm day, and 

 so I was in the " blasted hopes " column. 



Well, not to be outdone, I bought one col- 

 ony from a neighbor, and it superseded its 

 queen just when it ought to have been rear- 

 ing bees — and I let it — so of course I got no 

 white honey from it. But I took enough Ijees 

 to form a-'nuoleus, which I supplied with a 

 golden Italian queen, and the result was two 

 good colonies. 



I also sent for a 2-frame nucleus with what 

 was to be a red clover queen, which I got 

 home on May 6, and which stored 60 sections 

 6l honey, 40 of them white honey, and besides 

 the lower story was filled with honey. 



As I did not care for colonies, I did not try 

 to increase. It cost me S7.00 to commence as 

 told above, and I got, all told, 12.5 pounds of 

 extracted and comb honey, and have 3 extra- 

 strong colonies, which had a good tiight on 

 New Year's day, so I look for them to come 

 through all right. 



I think the reason so many of the colonies 

 lived through and failed to build up was that 

 the queens were diseased. I know of quite a 

 number of bee-keepers who took the best care 

 of their bees who lost all. Had the winter 

 been a mild one, their success would have 

 been "luck". The colonies which did build 

 up stored a large supply of extra-fine white 

 honey, but not much fall honey. 



The outlook for the coming season is extra 

 good for those who have bees. The big yield 

 the past summer will cause an increase of 

 bee-keepers. George Spitler.

Chicago, Jan. 24.— The trade in honey Is not 

 large and the ofiFerings on the contrary are 

 quite liberal. This makes an easy market for 

 the buyer. Fancy white comb, 12Si(S'13c; No. 1, 

 nmziic; off grades, 10@llc. Extracted, white, 

 6(5 7c, according to flavor, quality and package; 

 anything off about one cent lower; amber 

 grades, 5H®6iic. Beeswax, 29@30c. 



R. A. BURHBTT & Co. 



Boston, Jan. o. — The market is without 

 change since last writing. The demand con- 

 tinues light, and supply Is more than ample- 

 We quote: Fancy white, 16c; A No. 1, 15c; No.l. 

 14c, with practically no demand for No. 2. Ex, 

 traded, from 6@Sc, according to quality. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb. 



Kansas City, Jan. 9.— The demand for comb 

 honey still continues light, as most of the re- 

 tall dealers were stocked up on $2.25 honey be- 

 fore the holidays, two cars of which were sold 

 here at that time. We look for a better market 

 In the near future, and quote; Fancy comb, 

 24-8ectlon cases, $2.50; No. 1, $2.25. Extracted, 

 white, per pound, 6(fti6J4c; amber, 5M@6c. Bees- 

 wax, No. 1, 28@30c. C. C. Clbmons Si Co. 



Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19.— Comb honey Is now 

 coming in more freely, and prices If anything 

 have moderated a little. The sales made and 

 prices obtained were for No. 1 fancy water- 

 white comb, 12@13;'ic; single cases, 14c. Ex- 

 tracted Is sold as follows; White clover, in 

 barrels, 6Hc; in cans, 7K@8c; amber, in bar. 

 rels, 55<@SMc; in cans, 6@6>ic. Beeswax. 27c. 

 C. H. W. Wkber 



Philadblphia, Jan. 9.— The market is un- 

 changed from our last quotations, and trading 

 light. We quote: Fancy white, 15@16c; No. 1, 

 13@14c; amber, ll@l2c. Extracted, white, 7@8c; 

 amber, 6@7c. Beeswax, 26c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm, A. Selser. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 30.— Since our last report 

 was published, the price of extracted honey has 

 advanced, no doubt acting in sympathy with 

 the sugar market. We quote amber extracted 

 In barrels at 6fa'6Mc; white clover, in barrels 

 and cans, 65i@8}ic. Fancy comb honey, 13@14c. 

 Beeswax, 28c. Thb Fred W.Muth Co. 



Albany, N.Y., Dec. 26.— Comb honey Is mov- 

 ing off very well considering the heavy re- 

 ceipts and cold weather. Prices not as high 

 as early fall, as usual, bnt very good yet. 

 Fancy white, 14@15c; No. 1,13c; mixed, 12®13c. 

 Buckwheat, ll@12c; mixed, 10@lic. Extracted, 

 dark, 6(a!6Xc; light, 6>i@7c. Beeswax, 28@30c.

San Francisco, Jan. 25.— White comb. 1-lb. 

 sections, ll%@U,%c; amber,9®llc. Extracted 

 white, b@(i% cents; light amber, 4)<@5)ic; am- 

 ber, 33i@4Jic; dark amber, 3@3Mc. Beeswax, 

 good to choice, light, 29@30c; dark, 27@28c. 



Market Is quiet and for other than choice 

 water-white Is lacking in firmness. High-grade 

 honey is in light supply, but there is no scar- 

 city of amber stock. Three lois of Hawaiian 

 Island honey, aggregating 523 cases, arrived 

 the current week. 



New York, Jan. 9.— The market on comb 

 honey is decidedly dull, and while there Is no 

 stock of dark and buckwheat to amount to 

 much, all grades of white honey are plentiful, 

 and for the present we cannot encourage ship- 

 ments. We quote fancy white at 14c; No. 1 at 

 13c; No. 2 at ll@12c; buckwheat at 10c. Ex- 

 tracted honey is in fair demand, with abundant 

 supplies and a weakening tendency Is noticea- 

 ble in the market. We quote white at 6(ai6Stc; 

 light amber at 5S<®6c; dark, 5@5!<c per pound; 

 Sonthern at 52@55c per gallon. Beeswax, 29c.
