spring, then uncap the brood-frames gradually on warm even- 

 ings, put on the half-stories, and let the bees carry honey up 

 from below. As room is thus made in the brood-chamber, the 

 queen betakes herself to laying, so that soon there is an 

 abundance of brood. If wet and unfavorable weather sets in, 

 as it did last spring, the bees must be fed, or not enough honey 

 will be taken from the sealed stores overhead to feed the 

 young larvaj sufficiently to keep them growing vigorously. 

 Those who, like himself, fed their bees during the trying 

 month of May last, were the ones who reaped the best honey 

 harvest. 



The Brant Bee-Keepers' Association met in the Court 

 House at Brantford, Nov. 3, 1894. Owing to unfavorable 

 weather, the attendance was small, but the proceedings did 

 not lack interest. The subject of winter packing received 

 most attention. 



The Practical Bee-Keeper reports a meeting of the Leeds 

 and Granville Association at Brockville, Oct. 9, 1894. The 



President, Mr. M. B. Holmes, gave a retrospect of progress 

 made in the past ten years, and said : 



What a wonderful change has taken place ! Then it was 

 a box containing a chaotic mass of honey in the comb; now it 

 is a dozen or so of one-pound sections nicely finished by the 

 bees themselves. Then it was "Strained Honey," a compound 

 of nectar of flowers, pollen, grains of wax, etc.; now extracted 

 honey in an amber liquid fit to tempt the most fastidious taste. 

 But that which is of most interest to the general public is this 

 fact; that, because of modern improvements, honey has been 

 so reduced in price that it is no longer a luxury seen only on 

 the tables of the rich, but it is within the reach of all. And 

 what do we see as a result ? I think we may safely say that 

 there is ten times as much honey consumed as there was ten 

 years ago, and if the bee-keepers of this country do their 

 whole duty, there is not a doubt that the consumption of 

 honey will continue to increase at the same rate for the next 

 ten years. 



An address was read from Mr. Allen Pringle, on "Bee- 

 Keeping in Ontario," for which we shall try to find room in the 

 next issue of Cauadian Beedom.

Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



CHICAGO, III,, Dec, 27.— Dp to the present 

 the sales on honey have met with our expec- 

 tations. We have received considernbly more 

 honey than we figured on handling, owing to 

 the short crop report, and we think the early 

 shippers reaped the benefit. However, we are 

 now getting the average price, viz, : Fancy, 

 15c,; while, No, 1, 14@13c, Extracted, 6@7c. 



Beeswax, 28@29c. J. A. L. 



CHICAGO. III., Dec. 27.— The trade is tak- 

 ing some comb honey for holiday display. 

 This helps out all the choice lots, which bring 

 15c. per pound ; other grades that are good to 

 choice. 13@14c. The dark grades as usual are 

 slow of sale at 9@10c. Extracted sells chiefly 

 at6@6'/5@7c. Very little basswood or clover 

 is offered in 60-lb. tins, two in a case. Such 

 meet with ready sale at top prices. 



Beeswax scarce at 28c. R. A. B.&Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 20.— The market 

 for comb and extracted honey is good, and 

 the supply equals the demand. Fancy clover 

 and buckwheat sells best; off grades are not 

 quite as palable ; and 2-pound sections are little 

 called for. We quote as follows: 1-pound 

 fancy clover. 1.3® 14c. ; 2-pound, 12H@1.3c.; 1- 

 pound white, 12@12^c.; 2-pound, 12c.; l- 

 pound fair, 10@llc.; 2-pound, 10@llc.; 1- 

 pound buckwheat, 10@llc.; 2-pound. 9@10e. 

 Extracted, clover and basswood, 6@6iic, ; 

 buckwheat. 5@5V4c,; Southern. 50@60c. per 

 gallon. Beeswax, scarce and in good demand 

 at 29@30c. C. 1. & B. 



CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 21.— No change since 

 our last. The market is quiet, with a fair de- 

 mand at 14@1 6c. for best white comb honey, 

 and 4@7c. for extracted. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 22@27c. for 

 good to choice yellow. C. F. M. & S. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo,, Dec, 26,— The supply 

 of comb honey is fair; demand is fair. Sup- 

 ply of extracted Is good; demand light. We 

 quote: 1-lbs., No. 1 white, 14@15c.; No. 2 

 white. 12@13c.; No. 1 amber, 13@14o.; No. 2 

 amber, 10@llc. Extracted, white. 6@7c. ; 

 amber. 5'^@6c.; dark, 4^@5c. 



Beeswax, 22®25c. C. C. C. &.CO. 



ALBANY, N. Y.. Dec. 26.— Honey in better 

 demand, especially the high grades of v/hlte 

 comb honey. We quote: No. 1 white, 14@ 

 15c.; No. 2 white. 13®14c.; Mixed white. 11 

 @12c.: No. 1 buckwheat. 12@l2!4c.; No. 2 

 buckwheat. ll@ll'/4c.; common, 10@llc. 

 Extracted, white (Northern), 7@8c. ; amber, 

 @6S4c.; buckwheat, 3!4@6c. Beeswax. 27® 

 29c. Do not look for much of any change In 

 these prices, and advise now to have honey 

 on the market as early as possible for best 

 prices. H. R. W. 



BUFFALO. N. Y.. Dec. 17.— The demand for 

 honey Is very quiet. We quote: Fancy. 13® 

 14c.; choice. ll@12c. ; others from 8®10c. 

 Literal amount of stock In market. The pros- 

 pects are that the demand will be very light 

 until after the holidays. Extracted is moving 

 very slowly at 5@7c. B. & Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y.. Dec. 26.— The receipts 

 of comb honey have been very large and ex- 

 ceed those of former years by far. The de- 

 mand has not been very active of late and 

 there are no signs of improvement. The sup- 

 ply is accumulating and the prices show a 



downward tendency. We quote: Fancy white, 

 1-lbs., 13®14c.; fair white, ll@12c.; buck- 

 wheat, 9c. Two-pound sections are in very 

 light demand and sell at from l@2c. a pound 

 less. The market on extracted is quiet, with 

 plenty of supply of all kinds. We quote: 

 White clover and basswood. 6c.; Southern, 

 30@55c. per gal. Beeswax is firm and in good 

 demand at 30®31c. H. B. & S.
