 ail those having honey to fell, as well as those wanting to buy.

 sible. As a general thing, I would not advise you to send your 

 heney away to be sold on commission. It near home, where 

 you can look after it. it is oftena very good way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 23 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your doorvara. with the words. ' ' Honey

CITT MARKETS. 



New York.— Since February we have bad a good 

 demand for honey, both comb and extracted. At 

 present our market is entirely bare <if one-pound 

 sections, but is still well stouked with twopound 

 sections. We are well satisfied with the quantity of 

 honey we disposed of, als'j with the prices obtained 

 lor same. Wo expect to have !i fair demand until 

 about June. Not likely that our market will bo sold 

 out when the season closes and several lots will 

 probably be carried over. We quote comb honey: 

 Fancy white, 2-lb. sections. I.5@ltjc; good white, 3-lb. 

 sections, 14@15c; fair white, i:i@14c. There has been 

 no extracted buckwheat in our market for some 

 time. Extracted clover and basswood in good de- 

 mand, and sells readily from 8 to 9c lu barrels or 

 kegs. 



Beeswax —Market has been dull for the pRst three 

 weeks. No supply, and no demand. We quote 

 choice yellow Southern, 36@37c. Good Western, 'M 

 ©oSc. Thurbeu, WnvryAMi & Co.. 



April n, 1884. Reade and Hudson Sts., N. Y. 



Kansas City.— Hon ey.— Demand for comb honev 

 good, with lower prices — I5@16c for choice 1 and 2 

 lo. sections. Dark and broken, or irregular comb, 

 slow at 10 to M%c. The liberal receipts of comb 

 honey from New York State havp cast much West- 

 ern honey in the shade, and our Western producers 

 will have to look to their laurels There have been 

 thousands of pounds of Eisiern honey marketed 

 here this season, and almost every comb has been 

 perfect in every respect. It is hard to sell the un- 

 sightly stuff that 1 am receiviug daily from other 

 sources, by the side of this handsome honey from 

 the East. Extracted in lair demand, 8@,0c, accord- 

 ing to quail ly and color. JkUOME TwiCHFLiL. 



Apr. 11, 1884. Honey Depot, .514 Walnut St., K.C.

 White clover, 18 to 20c. Any cases having broken

Cleveland —Ho?i<'.?/.—There is no change in honey 

 market. Rest lib. white continue to move off most 

 readily at iJ^c , the 2-lbs. move more slowly at 1(J@I7, 

 and second quality is not in demand. Extracted, no 

 sale. Beeswax; wanted at 83c, but no supply.

NOTES FROM THE BRIGHT-BAND APIARY. 



FRIENDS:-Thela8t time I appeared under the 

 above head was more than a year ago, at 

 which time, as some will remember, I laid 

 much stress upon the superiority of my queens. 

 Well, now lor the result: Quite a number of queens 

 were sold, and the next season (which Avas last sum- 

 mer) still a greater number were sold; in fact, I had 

 orders for more than 1 could raise; consequently I 

 have removed from my old place (Greenville, Tenn.), 

 to this place, that 1 might raise earlier queens, and 

 have facilities for raising a greater number ot 

 queens. I can now command 500 colonies in the 

 qupen business, if necessar.y. My intention is to 

 produce queens not excelled bv an.y. Price, untest- 

 ed, but laying, in April, $1.40 each; in May, SI. 25 

 each; 90 cents each the rc3t of the summer. Tested 

 queens, in May, $200; the rest of summer, $1.75. 

 The above are Irom imported Italian queens; 

 queens bred from Kingsley's improved bees, same 

 price. Kingsley's improved bee is simply a cross be- 

 tween the Cyprian. Italian, and Holy-Land bees; and 

 in reality they are ahead of any race, both for color 

 and honey-gathering propensities. Sample live 

 workers sent for 3c to pay postage. 



All orders promptly attended to; safe arrival 

 guaranteed; full directions sent with each queen.
