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

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

 ning across that paradise T have run into tvi'o or three others. There is one west of the 

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

 central [daho — in fact. 1 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; 

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

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

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



If you are dissatisfied with .your ])re-;ent locntion, and for tinancial rea- 

 sons, or on account of health, will be compelled to leave. sul)scribe for 

 GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE and learn something about the great

HONEY AND BEESWAX MARKET. 



New York, Nov. 14. — The receipts of comb 

 and extracted honey are very good at present. 

 The demand is good, and prices rule as fol- 

 lows: Fancy, 1.5 cents; No. 1 white, 14 cents; 

 No. 2 white, 12 and 13 cents; buckwheat, 16 

 and 12 cents a pound. 



Francis H. Leggett & Co. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 12— Honey selling better 

 as supply of fruit is about gone, and high. We 

 quote: Fancy, 15 and 16 cents; extracted, 4 

 and 6 cents a pound. Supply moderate. De- 

 mand good. Beeswax, 22 and 28 cents as to 

 grade. Batterson & Co. 



Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 11.— Market supplied 

 with comb. But little extracted offered. Quo- 

 tations: Comb, white, 15 cents; amber, 12 1-2 

 and II? cents; extracted, 6 and 7 cents per 

 pound. Beeswax in good demand with light 

 supply, at 30 cents per pound. 



Hamblin & Sappington. 



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

 tone while prices are nominally the same, but 

 would be shaded to effect sale's. Some cars of 

 honey enroute to eastern cities have been di- 

 verted to this and surrounding points, which 

 is having a depressing effect. 



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 

 6 1-2 cents according to quality, flavor and 

 package; light amber 5 1-4 to 5 3-4; amber and 

 dark 5 to 5 1-4. Beeswax 2S cents.
