Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee - Keepers' 

 Association, at its Washiugton meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according 

 to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sides ; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the colls sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few colls unsealed ; both wood and 

 comb unsoilod by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the tonus white, amhor 

 and dark. Tiiat is, thoro will be " fancy white," 

 K, o. 1 dark, " etc.
