I.anf,'8tr()tli, and a hive irixIfixSO, anil a lilvii 

 14x15x1-'; wc! have the IlecUlon hive; the S- 

 franie l.iuii^'siriiili hive can knouk them all 

 out. That is a three years' test. 



Mr. Hall .Mine ha(l )lt> years' test. 



Mr. Ilolterinann — I inljcht just say that the 

 company 1 am with are he(,'inn|[i(,'. anil after 

 wei^hin^ it all carefully we have eomo to the 

 conclusion, at least I have, that we are (^oinfj 

 to have 'Jfiit hives made, anil that tliey are 

 goin^c to l)e r.'-fr'ame Lan^^si.roths. 



Mr. Hall — Mine is equal to a llJ-frume l.an>c- 

 struth. 



Mr. Holtermann — I agree with Mr. Hall en- 

 tirely. Mr. Hall says he wants the large hive 

 for extraeteil honey, and for eoml) honey he 

 does not care which he has. I don't want to 

 run two kinds of hives if it can be avoiileii. If 

 you are l)eginning two sizes of hives, and you 

 can make both do for comb or extracted, I 

 don't just see the objection that Mr. Hall has 

 if you have the fall How. 



Mr. Hall — The objection is this: I tell you 

 what I do at home. I take every ounce of 

 white honey I can get from the top, and I 

 either till them up with foundation or put 

 two together and run them down to the fall 

 (low. 'I'hey work together, and they give me 

 50 or 60 pountls of a fall tlow. 



Mr. Holtermann — You can contract through 

 the light How, and then give them more room 

 for the dark. 



Mr. Hall— 1 would rather keep them in the 

 small hive so that they would not have any 

 surplus honey down-stairs, and then give 

 them a good chance to fill up with the fall 

 flow. 



Mr. Holtermann — Y.ou would contract to 

 about S for winter 1 



Mr. Hall— If I am not lazy I would contract 

 to ■}. Four will hold 3.5 pounds. 



Mr. Gemmill — I have some on 4 solid sealed 

 combs now ; that is all they have. I would 

 like to endorse what Mr. Hall says. It is not 

 so much the hive, it is the location and man- 

 agement. It I had Jones' hives I would use 

 them ; it I had smaller hives I would utilize 

 them in such a way that I could make them 

 big it I wanted to. 



Mr. McEvoy— I think Mr. Gemmill set it 

 right when he said it was the management; 

 but I would want that management conducted 

 with the S- frame Langstroth. 



Mr. Gemmill — In regard to wintering, do 

 you mean ? 



Mr. McEvoy — No ; in wintering, the big 

 frame is nowhere. I would want the smaller 

 hive then, every time. 



Mr. Gemmill — Do like Mr. Hall, contract it 

 if you want to. I want the big hive for sum- 

 mer. — Canadian Bee .Journal.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, May ».— The trade in honey of all 

 kinda in li^fht, eHpecially i8 thifi true of comb,

 Hftji^c. Extracted, white, SXiai.c; amber, 5"' 5J4c; 

 some lotB of new extracted offered, but no sale* 

 have been made. Beeswax scarce at 32c. 



R. A. BURHBTT ik Co. 



Cincinnati, March 6.— The market in ex- 

 tracted honey is ^ood with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturing purposes, brinies from 

 S'/icubiic; better grades fromT'u.Sc. Fancy comb 

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

 any price. Beeswax strong at 27'^30c. 



The Fked W. Mutii Co. 



Albany, N.Y.,May 1.— Honey market is dull. 

 Very little call now for any grade. Well cleaned 

 out of stock and season practically over. Some 

 comb honey is selling at 14'u.l5c. Extracted, 

 b%b}4c. Beeswax, good demand, 30/a.31c. 



H. R.'Wrioht. 



Boston, March 20.— The demand for comb 

 honey remains good. Market ranges as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white, in cartons, 15(ai6c; A No. 

 1, 14@15c; No. 1, 13(Sil4c; honey in glass-front 

 cases about one cent less. Extracted, Califor- 

 nia light amber, 7@7Hc: Florida honev, in bar- 

 rels, 6@6'/^c. Blake. Scott ■* LsB. 



Detroit, Apr. 8.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 ISc; No. 1, 13ig*14c; dark and amber, i\(qtl2c. 

 Extracted, while, aSiiftiTc; dark and amber, 

 S@5c. Beeswax, 29@30c. M. H. Hont & Son. 



Cincinnati, May 8.— As the warm weather 

 set in, the demand for comb honey is as good 

 as over. There are no settled prices; for what- 

 ever is left, prices are made to force sales. Ex- 

 tracted honey is in fair demand and finds 

 steady sales. Amber is sold in barrel lots for 

 S(SiS!4c; water-white alfalfa, sells from tfatbiic, 

 and white clover brings from 6>^fai7c. Beeswax 

 scarce and brings 30(u 3lc. C. H. W. Weber. 



New York, Apr. 7.— Comb honev, last year's 

 crop, practically cleaned up, but as we wrote a 

 little while ago we had received new crop from 

 Cuba, and are now receiving new crop from the 

 South. Demand is fair at 14c for fancy white, 

 13c for No.l, 12c for No.2, and lOfiillc for amber. 



Extracted: The market is decidedly dull. 

 Very little demand, with large stocks on hand, 

 some of which no doubt will have to be carried 

 over, and indications point to a further decline 

 in prices. We quote: White, be: light amber, 

 55^c; amber, 5c: Southern, 524(a-58c per gallon, 

 according to quality. Even these prices are 

 shaded in car lots. Beeswax, scarce and firm 

 at 29(g 30c. Hildreth & Sbgelker. 



San Francisco, Apr. 16.— White comb, 109 

 12yi cents; amber, 7@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ei- 

 traded, white, S@—; light amber, 4»<(a — ; 

 amber, 4® — . Beeswax, good to choice, light. 

 26@28c; dark, 2-Ug25c. 



Demand is not very active, and market can- 

 not be termed firm, although quotable values 

 remain without important change. Cons'dera- 

 ble honey of last crop is now being offered, 

 which up to a few weeks ago had been held off 

 the market. New crop is expected to arrive in 

 wholesale quantity in the very near future.
