MAKKUX <tt;OTAXIO."<S. 



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 ; 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. 



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. 



Chicag-o, 111., Mar. 19.— Fancy white. 11® 

 12c.; No. 1, 10@llc.; fancy amber, 9c.; No. 1, 

 7c.; fancy dark, 8c.; No. 1, Tc. Kxtracted, 

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

 wax, 2r>@2Tc. 



stocks are working down, but there Is no 

 Improvement in price. The season for comb 

 honey Is drawing to a close. Any one intend- 

 ing to market in the cities should do so now.

 13c.; No. 1, 11-12C.; lancy amber, 9-lOc.; 

 No. 1. 8-9c.; fancy dark. 7-8c.; No. 1, 6-7c.

 in this line this fall.

 10@llc.; amber. 8@9c.; dark, 6c. Ther is a 

 fairly good demand for comb honey yet, and 

 It keeps coming In small lots. Extracted is 

 quiet at unchanged prices. The demand for 

 buckwheat extracted has ceast, and no more 

 sale for it. Beeswax Is quiet at 2G@27c.

 Bio* for all kinds of iioney, with a fair sup-

Age at Which a Queen Layi*. 



Query 47.— How long, on the average, 

 after a queen emerges from her cell before 

 she begins to lay ?— Ind. 



J. A. Green — 10 days. 



E. France — I don't know, 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 10 days. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— 8 or 9 days. 



Jas. A. Stone — About 10 days. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— About 10 days. 



G. M. Doolittle— From 8 to 10 days. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — In about 10 days. 



W. G. Larrabee — From 1 to 2 weeks. 



H. D. Cutting — About 7 days is the 

 average. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — 6 to 10 days, 

 on the average. 



Eugene Secor — According to the best 

 authorities, in about T days. 



J. M. Hambaugh — From 9 to 15 days, 

 all conditions being favorable. 



C H. DIbbern— About 16 days, I be- 

 lieve, Is the rule, but It varies some. 



R. L. Taylor — About 8 days during 

 the honey season ; at other times, longer. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — About 8 days, but I 

 have had them put oS the matter for 15 

 days. 



Rev. M. Mahin — To give the average 

 is not easy. I would guess about 14 

 days. 



P. H. Elwood — Ask the queen-breed- 

 ers. Probably about 10 days, on the 

 average. 



Emerson T. Abbott — That depends en- 

 tirely on circumstances. I am not able 

 to say what the general average Is. 



A. F. Brown — 5 to 7 or 8 days. It 

 depends on weather and strength of col- 

 ony. During a honey-dearth, two weeks 

 or more. 



G. W. Demaree — In my locality. In the 

 honey season proper, the average is 

 about 11 days. But the time varies 

 with the season. In the early spring, 

 and the late autumn, the time is uncer- 

 tain. 



J. E. Pond — This question was fully 

 answered a few weeks ago. The gen- 

 eral rule is this : About 16 days from 

 egg to queen ; from 2 to 8 or 10 days 

 after the queen leaves the cell before 

 mating ; and eggs found In 6 hours or 

 more after mating. Bad weather may 

 interfere with the marriage flight, but 

 ordinarily the above Is correct.
