good condition, by dividing. I will get 

 more honey and less increase by natural 

 swarming. 



J. E. Pond — I prefer dividing. The mat- 

 ter will depend largely upon circumstances 

 and conditions. It seems to me to be an 

 individual question, and one that each 

 must decide for himself. 



A. F. Brown — Natural swarming for best 

 results in a crop of surplus honey, espe- 

 cially comb honey. If an attendant can- 

 not be given the bees during the swarming 

 season, I would prefer dividing. 



Dr. A. B. Mason— By natural swarming, 

 because it is less trouble and secures better 

 results. If you don't want increase and 

 don't know how to prevent swarming, fol- 

 low the Heddon plan in hiving swarms. 



J. A. Stone — Division, because you can 

 divide more evenly than the bees are apt 

 to do it, and while dividing you have the 

 opportunity to destroy any surplus of 

 queen-cells, and detect any wrong that 

 may exist. 



Emerson T. Abbott — By natural swnrm- 

 ing. If bees are properly managed they 

 will gather more honey, if permitted to 

 swarm in the natural way. If bees, and 

 not honey, was what I desired, I would 

 divide them. 



E. Whitcomb — If I desired to attend 

 church on Sunday I would divide, other- 

 wise I consider the natural swarming best. 

 God arranged that for the bees, and when 

 we attempt to th wart Nature a cog is pretty 

 sure to slip somewhere. 



R. L. Taylor — By swarming, because I 

 want colonies as strong as possible for the 

 production of comb honey. If I divided I 

 might divide some that wouUl not swarm 

 at all, and dividing would not prevent 

 others from swarming, after all. 



Adrian Getaz — By division, for two rea- 

 sons. 1st, because I can increase just what 

 I want, and when I want. 'Jnd, because 

 natural swarming occurs at a time of the 

 year when all the bees are needed to gather 

 surplus, instead of starting new colonies. 



G. W. Demaree — If I wanted to increase 

 my apiary rapidly, I would practice both 

 the natural and artificial methods of in- 

 crease. Why ? Because then I would net 

 be limited by any iron-jacket rule, and if 

 Nature was tardy I would go forward and 

 accomplish my purpose. 



E S. Lovesy — By division, because with 

 proper management all colonies can be 

 kept strong, %vhieh cannot always be done 

 here by the swarming method. The swarm, 

 as a rule, is all right, but the old colony is 

 often a failure. But division must not be 

 overdone; if it is workt just right, and if 

 you keep your queens laying, and the bees 

 working, if there is any honey-flow they 

 will bring it in.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. 20.— Fancy white comb honey 

 brings 15c; No. 1, 13@14c; ambers, HKfrl^c; dark, 

 'n<_Moc. Extracted, white, in cans, V/2<'l''^c; in bar- 

 rels, "(a T'^c; amber, ()^A(m7c. Beeswax, 26c. 



The receipts are increasing- and sales are be- 

 cominju' more frequent. Shipments are coming- 

 to hand in g-ood order, and when properly pre- 

 pared will do so until we gret zero weather, after 

 which it is liable to crack, and break awav from 

 the frames. R. A. Burnett Ai Co. 



Kansas City, Sept. 14.— The supply of comb 

 honey is very light. Scarcely anv extracted on 

 the market. We quote fancv 1-pound comb, 

 14tol5c; No. 1, I3f»'14c; No. 1 amber, 12® 13c. Ex- 

 tracted, while, 7c; amber, 5(G'6c; dark, 4fgi5c. 

 Beeswax, 22-'i ZSc. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, Sept. 20.— Fancy white, 15c; No. 

 1. white, 13(y;14c; fancy amber, ll(g>i2c; No. 1, 

 amber, lOfolic; buckwheat, 9(atlOc. Beeswax 

 dull at 25@'26c. 



Demand good for all kinds of comb honey, 

 and ready sale. Extracted in good demand also, 

 excepting buckwheat, at unchanged prices. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



San Francisco, Aug. 25.— White comb, ll'^iJ® 

 12J^c; amber, 8(&10c. Extracted, white, 7H@7K- 

 light amber, fi]4(gi7c. Beeswax, 2(>(^2'ic. 



The market remains unfavorable to the buy- 

 ing interest, and isJikely to so continue thruout 

 the season, with supplies of very moderate vol- 

 ume, not only here, but also in the interior. 



Cleveland, Aug. 18.— New honej' scarce and 

 iu good demand. Fancy white, 15c; No. 1 white, 

 13^'14c: fancy amber, 12c; No. 1 amber. lOfallc. 

 A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, Sept. 21.— Fancy white comb, l-^jouud 

 sections, 16c; A No. 1, 14(ml5c; No. 1, 13(^13^c; 

 No. 2, ll(a'12c. White amber extracted, 8@8J4c. 

 Beeswax, 27c. 



New comb honey is coming in very slowly^ 

 showing a general shortage all over the country. 

 Blake, Scott & Lee.' 



Buffalo, Sept. 22.— Receipts of honey ver^' 

 light indeed. Fancy 1-pound comb, 14(«*14^c; 

 fair to good, 12(ctl3c; poor, less. 



Batterson & Co, 



Omaha, Aug. 16.— Still very little doing and 

 receipts so light that a market price has really 

 not been establisht. Little lots of choice new 

 comb are still going at 14(<( 15c, but a good many 

 dealers will not touch it at these prices, and in 

 order to place larger quantities at this time a 

 considerably lower figure would have to be 

 made. In tiie course of another mouth, wlieu 

 the weather is cooler and the taste for fruits 

 more fully satisfied, the demand for honey will 

 be more general and a more reliable market can 

 be quoted. Extracted is slow sale at ~(a 7'jc. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Sept. 11. — Honey-producers accus- 

 tomed to selling in Detroit have hard work to 

 satisfy local trade. Very little honey in market. 

 White comb, 14@15c; dark, 12ft' 13c." White ex- 

 tracted, I^OtSc. No dark wanted. Beeswax,
