HONEY and BEESWAX 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled ; combe 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled 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 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey Is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That is, there will be "fancy 

 white," "No, 1 dark." etc. 



Cliicag'o, 111., Jan. 7.— Fancy white. 12® 

 13c.; No. 1, lie. ; lancy amber, 9@10c.; No. 1, 

 8c.; fancy dark. 8@9c. ; No. 1, 7(a8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, b(3i7c.; amber. 5@6c. ; dark, 

 i%e. Beeswax, 26c. 



Comb honey sales are of small volume. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 31.— Fancy white 

 comb. 13-14C. ; No. 1 white. ll-12c.; fancy 

 amber. lO-llc; dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 

 6-8e. ; amber, 4-5c. ; dark, 3-4c. Beeswax, 26c.

 13c.; No. 1. ll-12c.; fancy amber, O-lOc: 

 No. 1 dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 0-7c. ; 

 dark. 4-oc. 



The receipts of both comb and extracted 

 honey are very large, and prices are some- 

 what lower. We have an ample stock of all 

 styles except paper cartons weighing less 

 than a pound. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Deo. 31.— Fancy white. 

 14-15C.; No. 1 white. 12-13c. Extracted, 

 white. 6-7c. Beesv/ax. 22-2oc.

 demand for inferior grades.

 comb, loc. ; No. 1 white. 13@14c. ; fancy 

 amber. 12-13c.: No. 1 amber. ll-l:ic.; fancy 

 dark, lO-llc; No. 1. 8-lOc. Extracted, white, 

 6-6^c.; amber, 5 o'/Jc; dark. 4-4i^c. Bees- 

 wax. 22-25C.

 Extracted, white. 6-7c. ; amber, 5-6c.; dark, 

 4-5c. Beeswax. 22-2 4c. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward. 

 The demand is very poor and quotations al- 

 most nominal. Weather Is very warm and 

 the consumption of honey Is very small. 

 Plenty of fruit, and hence the appetite is sat- 

 isfied with same In preference. Later on we 

 expect an improved demand lor honey of all 

 kinds.

 14«@15c.; No. 1 white. 12K@13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6@7c.; amber, 4Hl@5'/4c. Beeswax, 22

There Is not very much honey In our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair

 best white, lO&l-ic. Extracted, 4(86c. De- 

 mand is slow; supply is fair.

white comb, soils well at 10 and lie , but sel- 

 dom 12c.; other grades, 8-6c., and require

Illinois— The annual meeting of the Illi- 

 nois State Bee-Keepers' Association will bo 

 held at the State House, in Springfleld. Feb. 

 24 and 2.5. 1897 The State Farmers' Insti- 

 tute meets the same week— Including all the 

 State live stock associations— and our Exec- 

 utive Committee, along with them, arranged 

 for this date, in order ihat the Legislature 

 might be in good working condition. (We all 

 know what for.) There will be an effort made 

 this winter to get a Pure Food Bill p;ist, and 

 that means bee-keepers want a hand In it. to 

 see that the adulteration of honev sh;ill cease 

 FOREVER AND EVER. Two years" ago WO suc- 

 ceeded in getting an -'Vntl-Adulteratlon Bill 

 through the Senate, but it failed In the 

 House, only for want of push. Let bee-keep- 

 ers throughout the State impress upon their 

 Kepresentatives the Importance of such a 

 hill, and i orae to our meeting to refresh their 

 minds on the subject. 



Railroad rates will be no greater than a 

 fare and a third, which will be announced 

 later. Our programs will be Issued along 

 with the other State Associations named 

 above. Jas. A. Stone, Sec. 



Bradfordton, HI.
