Chief of Bureau of Markets. 



Opinions of Producers. 



Early in October we sent to actual honey-produc- 

 ers and to some associations the following questions: 



1 . What is the total average production per col- 

 ony to date for 1921 in your locality? Give 

 answer in pounds.

3 . What is the condition of the colonies in your

 answer in per cent.

 buyers? (1) Comb honey? Extracted honey? 



6. What are prices to retailers in small lots? (1)
