Honey Quotations 



The folowing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted ly the North Aineiican Bee- Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 thtse rules: 



Fancy — All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sidps; lioth wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. I. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; both wood and comb un- 

 soiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That'.';, there will be "fancy white," 

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices );;iven in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and cjmmission — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; e.tctpt that a few dealers charge only 

 five percent when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars.

 arriving in a small way and fancy stock finds 

 ready sale at 14 to 15c per lb,. No. i, at 12c to 13c,

An imported queen received Aug. 15, 

 1904, has this season, up to date (July 

 15th, '05), produced almost 200 lbs of 

 extracted honey. She has the largest 

 colony, the gentlest bees and the great- 

 est hustlers I ever saw. Just think of 

 the long journejs and then to accom- 

 plish such results. You can have 

 queens from her for 75c, untested; and 

 S2,00, tested.
