tlic extent of snyiiic that I once saw a spliler 

 eat one of tliene boeB. Tliat spidt-r whk irn- 

 niecliately so lillcil with vitality tliat slic \v(;iit 

 on a ><tai]i|)eitu; anil it is a fact that spideis 

 could not stay in the vicinity of these hives, i 

 Some of the colonies occupied :WO0 eectioDB at 

 one time. I had to give an entrance the whole 

 l^i^^lK■ssof the liive-bottoni. 



Thoit^jh the i|ueen was endowed with such 

 ania/.in;; vitality her claws would wear out as 

 fast as those of an ordinary i|ucen, and at the 

 end of the sixth year she experienced dillienlty 

 in clincinjc to the combs. I experimented 

 a lonjr time before I diecovered a way to help 

 her. Finally I replaced her six feet with 

 those of a young queen, cementing them on 

 with royal jelly. The task was done so easily 

 and well that the royal circulation was 

 scarcely interrupted. I now practice givini; 

 her a new set of feet and new antenna* every 

 second year, believing that it pays to do so. 



Hoping to hear more from Dr. Gallup and 

 the umbilical cord (pupaskinna castortica), 

 Yours truly, Bakon M. Lieawful.

" Bees in Colo rado'' 



I still have several hundred copies of 

 the souvenir with the above title. The 

 bee-papers and a good many people 

 without visible axes to grind have said 

 it is a valuable and attractive thing. 

 If you should like to have a copy, send 

 me a silver dime or 5 two-cent stamps, 

 and I will mail you a copy. 



" Bees in Colorado " is the title of a 48- 

 page and cover pamphlet gotten up to boom 

 the Denver convention. Its author is D. VV^. 

 Working, the alert secretary of the Colorado 

 State Bee-Keepers' Association. It is beauti- 

 fully illustrated, and printed on enameled 

 paper. It is a credit to Mr. Working, and 

 will be a great help in acquainting those out- 

 side of Colorado with the bee and honey 

 characteristics and opportunites of that 

 State. — American Bee Journal.

Boston, Oct. 20.— Our honey market remaias 

 6rm, with good demand and fair stocks on 

 hand. Honey is not coming forward as fast as 

 usual, and the tendency of prices is steady. We 

 quote our market as follows: Fancy white 1- 

 pound sections in cartons, 16c; No. 1, 15c; No. 

 2, very light supply, 14c; glass-front sections 

 generally one cent less than this. Extracted,

C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. s.— The demand for honey, 

 both extracted and comb, has eased oflF some- 

 what the past few weeks, however the prices 

 rule steady, as follows: E.xtracted, amber, in 

 barrels, (>((i7c; white clover, 8(at9c. Comb honey, 

 fancy, 10® 17c; amber, ll(an2c. Beeswax, 29@30c! 

 The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Nbw York, Dec. 8.— Demand for comb honey 

 not quite as brisk, owing, we presume, to the 

 fact that prices have been ruling higher. Sup- 

 ply, however, is moderate, and there is no other 

 stock on the market. 



Prices remain unchanged; fancy white, ISc.. 

 with exceptionally fancy at 16c; No. 1, 14c; No. 

 2, 12(a!13c; buckwheat and amber, ll@i3c. Kx- 

 tracted, white. 74c; light amber, o5^@7;c; dark, 

 5J^(gf6c. Beeswax in fair demand at 2^^a29c. 



HlLDRETH & SBOBLKBH. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 12.— The comb honey mar- 

 ket is a little quiet, almost everybody is filled 

 up. As there is hardly any new supply coming 

 in, there is no change in prices, namely: Fancy 

 water-white, 16c; off grades less. The marke't 

 for extracted white clover shows a slight ad- 

 vance. Fancy white clover brings fiJilSic; al- 

 falfa water-white, 65^©7}^c; but amber, if any- 

 thing, has weakened. I quote same, in barrels. 

 5K@SKc. Beeswax, 27(a.iSc.

 fornia basis for comb.
