THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



is thicker than worker-comb, thicker than 

 the base of some foundation, but it is not 

 wholly a question of thickness, it is one 

 of quality. The gobbiness does not come 

 from the amount of wax in comb-founda- 

 tion-honey, but from its character. When 

 Mr. Boardman was here we talked over 

 this point, and he agreed most emphati- 

 cally with me in the view that once comb 

 is melted, its flaky, brittle character is 

 lost forever. 



Honey Quotations. 



The following rales for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee - Keepers' 

 Association, at its Washington nxeeting, 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 unsoi ed 

 by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the cells 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 cells unsealed; both wood and 

 comb unsoUed 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 is, there will he " fancy white." 

 wo. 1, dark." etc.

 tracted honey is very steady, there being a good 

 trade for the cheaper grades. We quote as fol-

 ey is rather slow, especially for off grades, 

 white and dark, and, as we have a la'ge stock of 

 these wonld not advise shipping for the near
