GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



JAXUART, 1917 



by dealers in the bottling trade investing in quan- 

 tities for late winter and spring use. Manufacturers 

 and preserving companies who put up honey in con- 

 tainers generally report business brisk — local, ship- 

 ping, and foreign. We quote extra fancy comb 

 honey, per case, $3.00; fancy, $2.75 to $2.85; No. 1, 

 $2.25 to $2.50; No. 2, nominal. White extracted 

 honey brings 8 to 8 % ; very little offering ; light 

 amber, in cans, 7 to TV2 ; amber, in cans, 6 to GVz- 

 Clean average yellow beeswax brings 26 to 29.
