Kuhnia Bees Doing Fairly Well. 



I enclose a i)lant or weed llial i;rows on the 

 roaiiside or on nnoecvipied land that attracts 

 the liees in the afternoon until night. I'lease 

 (;ive u name for the same. 



My bees are doiutr fairly well at present. 

 Central Kansas is free from bee-disease so 

 far as 1 know. Fkko Dkessi.ek. 



, Ellsworth Co., Kan., Sept. 1". 



I The plant is a composite, and g-oes by the 

 name of Kuhnia, It is i|ulte i-ommon east of 

 the Mi.ssissippi Kiver, and is spreading west- 

 ward. September and Octotier are the best 

 months for bees to worlc on composite llowers. 

 — C. L. Walton.] 



More Nectar this Year. 



This is said to be the banner honey and wax 

 producing county in the State. It's not much 

 now it that be true, tor the last two winters 

 have wiped out more than one-half of the 

 bees. 



I think it is a fact that there was more nec- 

 tar this year than in any of my live years' ex- 

 perience in bee-keeping. 



The old oee-keepers got but little honey, 

 but the up-to-date man has a good crop. 



Krom S.5 colonies, spring (May 1.5) count, I 

 have increased to KiO, and I took .5,000 sec- 

 tions of honey, and the frames have enough 

 for winter. D. C. Bacon. 



Bradford Co.. Pa., Sept. '28. 



About a Half Yield. 



We had only about a half yield of honey 

 here this season. From some unknown cause 

 sweet 'clover has invaded this portion of the 

 Yazoo Delta, within the last two years, and is 

 very abundant in the waste-places near my 

 apiary. I consider it the best of honey-pro- 

 ducing plants. It grows here in the weeds 

 and grasses where there is no cultivation.

MARKET OUOTATIONS.

 Southern and odd lots of dark, S(ahc. Bees- 

 wax, 30c. R. A. BURRBTT A Co. 



Kansas CiTv, Sept. 27.— The demand for both 

 comb aud extracted houoy is tfood, especially 

 comb, at the (juotatioas. We rjuote fancy white 

 comb, \4"i\-i^c; No. 1 white, 13i4'<( He; No. 2 

 wh te and amber, 13(fp\^Hc. White extracted, 

 bl^fo-Vc; amber extracted, 6!a6^c. Beeswax, 

 22%25c. C. C. Ci-K.MONS & Co. 



Cincinnati, Au^. 30.— The demand for comb 

 honey at present isveryg-ood; all shipments 

 are sold rjuick at 15''/ 16c for No. 1 and fancy. 

 We advise shipping- while demand is g^ood and 

 before the western carloads are here. In three 

 weeks from now carloads will arrive, then de- 

 mand is satisfied, sales harder to make, and 

 prices demoralized. Extracted honey is Gelling^ 

 as fast as it arrives, at the following- prices: 

 Amber and Southern in barrels, at Si^^fec, ac- 

 cording to the quality. White clover, 7J4@8c. 

 Beeswax is scarce at 30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 24.— Honey receipts are 

 light here so far, and good demand for comb 

 honey. We quote light comb, fancy, 16c; A No. 

 I, 15c; No. 1, 14c; mixed and dark, 13c: buck- 

 wheat scarce at I2@13c. Extracted, light, 7c; 

 mixed, (i^c; buckwheat, (»c. Beeswax, 28@30c. 

 H. R. Wright. 



Ne-w York, Sept. 20.— Comb honey is in good 

 demand; fancy white at 15c, and some excep- 

 tionally fancy lots may bring a little more. 

 No. 1 sells at 13(aii4c; amber at 12c; no arrival 

 of buckwheat as .vet, the season being late. Ex- 

 tracted firm at <>ji(§^7c for white, dc for light 

 amber, and 5('i5>^c for dark. Beeswax firm at 

 27"_'2><C. HlLDRBTH A Sboblkbn. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 2'*.— New comb honey is 

 not coming in so plentiful, so far. Whatever 

 has come in, and is fancy water-white, has 

 brought a good price, and sold to stores at from 

 15@16c. Honey kept over from last year, fancy 

 sells for 14c. The market for extracted is more 

 lively and brings: Amber, from 5@5^c; alfalfa 

 water-white, from 6@6Mc; white clover, from 

 7@7>ic. iJeeswax, 2Sc. C. H. W. Webbr. 



SANFRANCisco,Aug. 20— White comb.l3@14c; 

 amber, ia@12c; dark, 8@0c. Extracted, white, 

 5%@S%; light amber. ^;^55i; amber, 4%@— . 

 Beeswax, good to choice, light, 27(2)29c; dark, 

 25@26c. 



Not much offering or arriving of any sort. 

 While the market is firm throughout, current 

 values are being better sustained on comb than 

 on extracted, for the reason that the latter has 

 to depend to some extent on outside demand. 

 All the comb honey offering will be required 

 locally. The shipment of comb honey has 

 never proven satisfactory, and the production 

 is in consequence restricted to small compass.
