I?lARKIt:X «IU0XAX10I\S- 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, eo far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancv.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 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. 



1 n 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.

 white, 5@7c. ; amber. 5®6c. ; dark, 4 He. Bees- 

 wax, •J5ia'27c.

 improvement in price. The season for comb 

 honey Is druwlng to a close. Anyone intend- 

 ing to market in the cities should do so now.

 little demand. Extracted in good demand.

 a little better demand for comb honey during

 Improve, as the season is too far advanced 

 and plenty of stock laying on the market. 

 We have a good demand for extracted buck- 

 wheat, candied, and bee-keepers having their 

 crop on hand yet, should now market It.

IJear Sir— The Queen t received from vou

 ever need more Queens t now know where to 

 get them. Yours truly, M. Smisciknv, 



Dealer In Bees and Honey, 

 Brentwood. Ark., May 2. 1896. 



E. T. Fi.anaoan. Belleville, Illinois- 

 Dear Mr— The 4 3-frame Nuclei and 1 full 

 Colony 1 tioufrht of you last May, all arrived 

 In e.xcellent order and have done exceedingly 

 well, considering they had a journey of over 

 2,000 miles to reach my place in Idaho. Three 

 of the Nuclei gave a large natural swarm 

 each, and. In addition, stored over 100 pounds 

 of surplus comb honey each. The other one 

 did nearly as well. The full Colony swarmed 

 also, and stored over 200 pounds of splendid 

 comb honey in one-oound si cllon-boxes. 1 

 now have good, strong colonies with plenty 

 of honey to winter on, and have taken from 

 them over 500 pounds of choice comb honey. 

 I am well pleased with my venture. 



Yours truly. B. F. White.

E. T. Fi.ANAo.\N, Belleville, Illinois- 

 Dear Sir:— One of the 3-frame Nuclei I got

E. T. Fr.ANAOAN, Belleville. Illinois- 

 Dear Sir:-From one of the3 frame Nuclei 

 I got on May 8, 1896. I hive had 5 good 

 swarms, one of which got away to the woods. 

 I reared 13 splendid queens, and got 69 

 pounds of No. 1 comb honey from it ; besides 

 plenty of honey to winter on. Can that be 

 beat? 1 shall want about 35 Nuclei for my- 

 self and about 25 for other pariles in the 

 spring. Yes. sir, I am well satisfied. 



Yours truly. H. W. Savage.

 Dear Sir:— I have bought Bees and Queens 

 for the past 24 years from all parts of the 

 United States, and I never received any that 

 gave me greater satisfaction than the Nuclei 

 and Queens I received from you. They are 

 gentle and great hustlers, and as long as I am 

 in the bee-business I will give you all my 

 orders for Bees and Queens. You can book 

 my order now for 4 Nuclei to be delivered the 

 coming spring. Yours truly.
