The honey crop in California as a 

 whole is short. A few favored and lim- 

 ited locations are having a good flow, 

 mainly alfalfa. The low lands along 

 the Sacramento river are perhaps the 

 best locations this year, as well as last 

 year, in the state. Wishing you suc- 

 cess, I'raternally yours.

Ontario Bee-Keepers' Association, 1913. 



iJcar Member: The Crop Rejjort Committee (jt the (Jiuario 

 Bee-keepers' Association met on Tuesday, Julv "J'fnd, to consider 

 the reports on honey crop conditions. Replies were received from 

 .■)4o members, i)nt there were TOO other members who neglected to 

 send a report. The work of the committee would l)e of even greater 

 value if members were more careful in this matter. 



The average crop is 63 pounds per colon v. being located kirgelv 

 in the southwestern counties. The eastern counties have practically 

 no honey at all and much the same may be said of the northern 

 part of old Ontar'o, and the greater part of Quebec Province. As 

 these are usually great honey-producing sections their failure will 

 greatly reduce the total crop. Where there is a cro]). ho\ve\er, the 

 tiualitv is reported to l^e extra good. 



Ill considering the price, the: exceeding^- Iiigh price of berries 

 and the great shortage of the apple crop are taken into account. 

 In fact, some large sales of hone}- have alread}- been ruade at the 

 prices named, as follows: 



Xo. 1. Light Extracted (wholesale") 11-T.\^ per \h. 



Xo. 'L Light Extracted (retail) IJi-l-'iC per lb. 



Xo. 1. Comb (wholesale) $2..-?5-$o.()() per doz. 



Xo. V. Comb (wholesale) $l.oO-$-2.00 per doz. 



It might be stated in explanation that these prices are f. o. b. 

 in (ill-lb., lo-lb. and ."i-lb. tins, the former being net weight, with 

 tlie tin thrown in. the two latter being gross weight. The difference 

 in time and trouble filling the small tins about ecp.ializes the price. 



In selling to the wholesale commission merchant tlie lowest 

 wholesale price should be asked, while the retail grocer 'should pay 

 the highest wholesale price. The retail price to the consumer
