Average Casli Value of Taxable 

 Colonies. 



ftuery 76.— In Iowa 10 colonies of bees In 

 the bands of any one owner are exempt from 

 taxation, and the cash value of all his other 

 colonies, as given by him, is divided by four, 

 and the quotient becomes their assest value. 

 If a similar law was In force in your Stale, 

 what Is the average cash value you would 

 place on each of your taxable colonies? — Iowa. 



Ei-.gene Secor — §4. 



R. L. Taylor— §2.50. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— S6. 



Chas. Dadant ^t Son— $2 to $8. 



0. 0. Poppleton — Not less than $5. 



J. M. Hambaugh — About 75 cents. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — $6 in my locality. 



-W. G. Larrabee — About. '$5 per colony. 



Mrs. M. J. Null — 50 cents per colony. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I suppose $5 would 

 be about correct. 



G. M. Doolittle— No ; bees are not as- 

 sest in these parts. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I would place the 

 cash value, on an average, at .S6. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — It would hardly make 

 any difference on the market value. 



E. S. Lovesy— .SI, for the reason that 

 I would not sell at, even those figures. 



P. H. Elwood — We could not replace 

 our bees in our hives and furniture for 

 less than .S6. 



E. France — Under those conditions I 

 would put them in at the price that they 

 would sell for. 



R. C. Aikln— $3 or .§4. Taxes here 

 amount to about 8 to 5 cents a colony; 

 valuation about .SI. 



Emerson T. Abbott — I should leave 

 that to the meu who fix value. Most 

 people pay as little tax as they can. 



Rev. M. Mahin — If by " cash value" 

 you mean the amount for which they 

 could be sold, S5 would be the highest 

 limit. 



Jas. A. Stone — If the colonies were 

 heavy, I would say the first of May 

 when values are assest — §3 for blacks, 

 and $5 for Italians. 



J. E. Pond — Circumstances would de- 

 termine the matter, but in this State 

 (Massachusetts) bees are worth in 

 March, as an average, assuming they 

 are in good condition, $5 or more per 

 colony, includmg a plain 8 or 10 frame 

 Laugstroth hive. 



C. H. Dibbern — The cash value placed 

 on personal property of various kinds 

 by most assessors Is very low. My bees 

 are taxt at $1 per hive, which would 

 make the cash valuation .54, but I con- 

 sider them worth at least .§5 just before 

 swarming, when usually assest. 



J. A. Green — As I understand the 

 question, the details of the law have 

 nothing to do with it. The question is, 

 " What Is the cash value of a colony of 

 bees at the time of assessment?" As 

 this would depend on locality, kind of
