More Bee-keepers' Paradises. 



B. R. Root has just retm-ned from a 6,000 mile trip through some of 

 the best bee locations in the world, and has already begvm his series of 

 write-ups, accompanied with fine photos, in GLEANINGS IN BEE CUL- 

 TURE. The following editorial appears August 1st, and will give some- 

 thing of an idea of what he will describe: 



Some time ago I promised to tell about the bee-keepers' paradises in Texas. I have 

 :his on the docket, and it will appear as I take up the line of my travels. But since run- 

 aing across that paradise I have run into two or three others. There is one west of the 

 Rockies, in Colorado, that is not yet overstocked with bees or bee-keepers; another one in 

 :entral Idaho — in fact, I do not know but the whole state. These will be described in turn. 

 The fact is, millions of capital are being invested in irrigation; irrigation means alfalfa; 

 ilfalfa means a paradise for bees. But I found all along my trip that alfalfa-growing preced- 

 ;d bee-keeping by two or three years, for it seems to take about that length of time before 

 ;he bee-keepers find these gold mines that have been hitherto unoccupied.

 sons, or on account of health, will be compelled to leave, subscribe for 

 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE and learn something about the great 

 South and the great West. There are many locations in the West that are 

 not yet occupied — splendid bee locations. If you wish to learn about them,

 receipts arriving to take care of all business. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy white, per pound, 

 loc; No. 1, white, 14c; No. 2, white, 12 to 13c; 

 Buckwheat, 10 to lie. 



Francis H. Leggett & Co.

 fair, with good supply. Supply of beeswax is 

 light, with fair demand at 30c per pound. We

Batterson & Co. 



Chicago, Nov. 13.— The market is easier in 

 tone, while prices are nominally the same, but 

 would be shaded to effect sales. Some cars of 

 honey en route to eastern cities have been di- 

 verted to this and surrounding points, which 

 is having a depressing etTect. 



Comb brings 14 to 15 cents for best grades 

 of white, and light amber, 12 to 13 cents; dark 

 grades, 10 to 11 cents; extracted white 5 1-2 to

 dark, 5 to 5 1-4. Beeswax, 28 cents.
