Positions of Eggs In Cells. 



On page 10 of Mr. Cowan's boolv on " The 

 Honey-Bee " is the following paragraph : — "It 

 will be noticed that the egg (tig. 1, A) stands 

 in a position parallel to the sides of the cells, 

 and this position it retains the first day. 

 On the second da.v it is inclined at an angle 

 of 45 degrees (fig. 1, B), and on a third day it 

 assumes a horizontal position (fig. 1, C). rest- 

 ing perfectly flat on the base of the cell." 



Also H. W. Brice says in the British Jour- 

 nal: 



" On examining a cells just after an egg is 

 laid we find a small white speck standing on 

 end, attached to the base of the cell, and 

 slightly on one side of the apex thereof; it is 

 fixed in position by a watery, semi-sticky sub- 

 stance, which at this period envelops the 

 whole of the egg. Within a few moments, 

 however, one of the nurse-bees enters the cell 

 — head first, of course — and after a few 

 seconds of activity, withdraws and hurries 

 away to the next cell to 'go on ' as before. 

 Now, let us examine the cell again, and we 

 find that the nurse-bee has carefully placed 

 the new-laid egg down on its side and in its 

 orthodox and-proper position at the bottom of 

 the cell. The egg from this time forward is a 

 matter of constant care and attention on the 

 part of the nurses, which are persistently 

 examining it, probably to see how it is ' get- 

 ting on.' On the second day we find the bees 

 have shifted its position to an angle of about 

 35 degrees; on the third it is again moved to 

 an horizontal position.; and on the fourth day 

 it hatches out." 



The correctness of this teaching has been 

 called in question, but it is doubtful that any 

 one has actually disproved it. Some careful 

 observations upon the matter might be of in- 

 terest.

 tracted honey is (food wrth prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturin(f purposes. brin(fs from 

 5'4(ai6Kc: betier ijrades f rom 7f<;,Sc. Fancy comb 

 honey sells at 16c; lower (grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax stroma at 27r«30c. 



ThkFkkd W. MuTii Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 21.— Our market has not 

 been so empty of comb honey in a lonp time. 

 Fancy while comb, l.^rgil6c; No. 1, l.^c; dark 

 and buckwheat, 13@14c. Extracted, buckwheat 

 be. Beeswax, 30c. H. R. Wrioht. 



Boston, Jan. 20.— Strictly tancy comb honey 

 in cartons, 15J4c: A No. 1, ISc; No. 1. 14>4c; very 

 little No. 2 to offer; stock nominally runnin? 

 No. 1 and A No. 1. Extracted, li(f'ht amber, 

 'iViC: amber, 7c; Florida honey, 6Hfa.7c. 



Our market continues somewhat dull in the 

 demand for honey, while stocks are ample for 

 the balance of the season, unless there should 

 be a much larg-er demand than we at this mo- 

 ment anticipate. Blake, Scott & liSK, 



New York, Feb. S.— There has been very lit- 

 tle movement of late in comb honey, and while 

 there is no buckwheat on the market to amount 

 to anything-, there is sufficient quantity of the 

 different grades of white honey. The demand 

 having been slow of late, prices have had a 

 downward tendency and are likely to remain 

 so during the spring. TD ^r~\ - \ — \ 



We quote: Fancy white, 14c, and exception- 

 ally fine stock at perhaps ISc; No. 1 white at 

 13c: amber at ll@12c. Extracted remains dull 

 at unchanged prices. Arrivals of late are quite 

 plentiful of all the different grades. Beeswax 

 firm at 28(ai28Hc. Hildsbth & SBOBLKEif, 



San Francisco, Feb. 12.— White comb, 11® 

 \VA cents; amber, 8(gil0c; dark, 6(^7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, S%@bc\ light amber, 4i^iSSc; 

 amber, 4(3 — . Beeswax, good to choice, light. 

 26S-28c; dark, 24@2Sc. 



Considering the limited quantities offering 

 there is a fair trade in progress, both for ship- 

 ment and local account. Quotable values are 

 without change, but market is moderately firm 

 at the prevailing figures. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 7.— The hone.v market has 

 been rather dull this year. Comb honey is sell- 

 ing fairly, and brings as follows: White clover, 

 15c; lower grades from 12^@14c. Extracted 

 honey sells very slow, the lower grades bring- 

 ing 5@6c, and fancy, 65^ @7>^c. Bees was.2.s® 30c.
