Honey Quotations 



The fol owing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted I y the North Aineiicaii Bee-Reepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, ami, so 

 far as p' ssible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 10 all lour sides; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 e ccept the row of cells next the wood. 



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

 even or crooked, det ched 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 hotiey is to be classified 

 according to color, using ihe terms white, amber 

 and dark. That 'S, there will be "fanc}' white," 

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices yiven in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must he deducted 

 f I eight, cartage and cununissioii — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a tew df alers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars.

 ariiving in a small way and fancj' siock 6nds 

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

 quote Californ'a at 6 to 7'3 per lb., according to
