Do you want a Good 



Market for your Crop of Honey, 



BOTH COMB AND EXTRACTED? 



We are in position to handle any quantity, large or small, to better advantage than any other house, for the 

 following reasons : 



We deal almost exclusively in honey, giving it our closest attention all the year round. 



We keep ourselves thoroly posted as to the result of the crops gathered in the honey-producing States. 



We are acquainted with the most desirable trade thruout the country, and know exactly what their wants are. 



We know, thru our long experience, the different varieties and qualities of honey ; therefore know what we 



are selling, and no fear of selling fancy stock at the price of a third grade. 

 We handle by far the bulk of all the honey sent to New York, and our volume of business enables us to 



make the charges very reasonable. 

 Why, then, should we not be able to handle your crop to advantage, and do you justice in every respect ? 

 We handle not only on commission, but WE BUY OUTRIGHT as well, from small lots to carloads, 



for spot cash. 



If you prefer to sell your product, write us, stating quantity you have, quality, and how put up, and we will 

 make you our cash offer. 



We shall be glad to correspond with you in regard to your crop, and hope to have the pleasure of hearing 

 from you soon.

Ei-rors About Kees are found in 

 boolis in other countries as well as this. Le 

 Rucher Beige mentions a school-book in 

 which the readers are told that the queen 

 has no sting ! Nature did not wish that she 

 should be cruel, or that she should exercise 

 a vengeance that would cost her too dear, 

 so she gave ber no weapon to use in anger! 



A Itatli for Wax- Worms. —Mr. L. 



Glasspole tried carbolic acid, chloride of 

 lime, and camphor, in vain, to protect a 

 number of idle combs from worms. He 

 then packt in a large tub all the combs it 

 would hold, put two queen-excluders on, 

 and two flat stones over all, then filled with 

 water. A day later he threw out the water 

 with an extractor, and found the worms 

 dead. Then he dried the combs in a warm 

 room. — British Bee Journal. 



Close (Spacing; to Secure M'ork- 

 er-Comb has been strongly advocated, 

 and A. Norton reports in Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture his experiments in that direction. 

 He says: 



" To make the experiment a fair one, the 

 conditions should not be made such as to 

 insure worker-combs, even with wider 

 frames; so I did not keep the colony re- 

 duced to few frames at a time, as practiced 

 by Mr. Doolittle when getting worker-comb 

 built ; but I gave them all at one time to the 

 colony, and then left matters to take their 

 own course. The frames were clampt 

 tightly together with thumbscrews, so there 

 was no possibility of there being more than 

 II4 inches from center to center. The bees 

 were halt-blood Carniolan and golden Ital- 

 ian. From the worker-cell starters in part 



Yellow Sweet Clover Seed 



WE HAVE IT AT LAST \ 

 We have finally succeeded in yetting' a small 

 quantity of the seed of the yellow variety of 

 sweet clover. This kind blooms from tn'o to 

 four weeks earlier than the common or white 

 variety of sweet clover. It also g^rows much 

 shorter, only about two feet in hi(;rht. It is as 

 much visited by the bees as the white, and usu- 

 ally comes into bloom ahead of while clover 

 and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium, 



A QUARTER POUND FOR SENDING 

 ONE NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



So long- as it lasts, we will mail a quarter 

 pound of the seed to a leg'ular paid-up subscri- 

 ber who sends us ONE NEW subscriber for the 

 American Bee Journal for I'JOO, with Sl.iX). We 

 will also " throw in " the balance of l-S'Ji to such 

 new subscriber. Surely, this is a great offer. 

 We have been tryiuff for years to secure this 

 seed, and finally succeeded in getting- it. It is 

 new seed, gathered this season by an old per- 

 sonal friend of ours, so we know it is all right. 

 But we have only a small supply. When nearly 

 out we will mention it.
