Honey & Beeswax Market Qnotations. 



CHICAGO, Ir,i.., June T.— We have our usual 

 dull season which we look forward to and ex- 

 pect. Honey is entirely forgotten durlofr the 

 months of June. July and August. The mar- 

 ket Is pretty well cleaned up of all grades of 

 boney. so the pr-ospects are encouraging for 

 the coming season. We are getting l3@14c. 

 for light comb. J. A. L. 



KANSAS ClTr, Mo.. June 19.— Supply and 

 demand Is light. Wequote: No. 1 white, 1- 

 Ibs.. 13@14c.; No. 2 white. 12@13c. ; No. 1 

 amber. ll@12c. ; No. 2 amber. 8@10c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7c.; amber, 6c.; dark, 5c, 



Beeswax. 22c. C. C. C. Jc Co. 



CINCINNATI. O.. June 18.— Nothing new 

 since our last. There is a fair demand lor ex- 

 tracted honey at 4@7c. Comb honey Is in 

 slow demand at 12@14c. for best white. 



Beeswax is in good demand at25@31c. for 

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



CHICAGO. ILI,., May 23. — The trade in 

 comb honey is very light at this time of the 

 year— as it is between seasons. Soon we will 

 get the new crop, and it will come on a bare 

 market. Just now what little comb sells 

 brings 14c. for the best grades. Extracted, 

 5'/4@7c, AH good grades of beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. B. & Co, 



PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. June 18.— The new 

 crop of comb honey is arriving slowly, and is 

 in fair demand. No new extracted honey has 

 arrived in this market as yet. We quote: 

 Comb honey, OgilSc. Extracted, 4V5®6c. 



Beeswax is still declining. The adulteration 

 of beeswax has demoralized our market this 

 spring, and has hurt our sales considerable. 

 Price, 2o@27c. W. A. S. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., May 24.— W'hite comb 

 honey is well cleaned up. Considerable buck- 

 wheat remains on the market, and, as the Sea- 

 son is about over, some of it will have to lie 

 carried over. Extracted is doing fairly well, 

 ■with plenty of supply to meet the demand. 

 New southern is arriving quite freely. We 

 quote: Extracted, white, 6@fiJ4C.; amber, .5 

 @o!^c. Southern, common, 4o@o0c. per gal- 

 lon; choice, 60@65c. 



While beeswax holds Arm at 31@32c., we 

 think it has reached top market and do not 

 expect it to go higher. H. B. & S.

first two swarms. I did not drive them 

 down into the lirood-frames. They went to 

 the top of the hive and commenced to build 

 comb Sunday before last. 1 smoked them 

 down and got a hat full of honey and comb 

 from each hive. In doing so I lost one of 

 the queens, and the two swarms doubled 

 up. and such a hive of bees I never saw — as 

 much as I want to lift! They have one 

 crate about full, and are working on the 

 second, all in one week. I suppose the 

 brood-frames are full by this time. I found 

 the queen dead at the entrance of the hive 

 she swarmed from. I will report, when 

 I clean up this hive, in regard to the 

 amount of honey I get from it.

Cut Short by Frost, 



People lost nearly all their bees last win- 

 ter around here. I lost 14 out of 20 colonies. 

 They got in lots of honey during fruit- 

 bloom, but the late frost cut everything 

 short on May 12, so we can't tell whether 

 we will have much surplus or not.

Bees Starving — Dry Weather. 



Bees here are in a starving condition. 

 There is no honey on account of the drouth. 

 One bee-keeper lost 26 colonies out of 4,5. 

 Everything is suffering for want of rain, 

 except corn. I am still feeding my bees to 

 keep the young bees and brood from starv- 

 ing. C. C. Chamberlix. 



Romeo, Mich., June 14, 



Honey-Dew Killed the Bees. 



I had 20 colonies of bees last fall. This 

 spring I had 2',; left (one being queenless). 

 I then bought 10 pounds of bees, together 

 with 10 queens; they are all doing well on 

 last year's honey-dew. I had one large 

 swarm June 13. After this, if my bees 

 have nothing but honey-dew for winter 

 stores, and I can't extract it, as was the 

 case last fall, I shall drive them into other 

 hives and feed sugar syrup.

Good Basswood Crop Expected. 



The Bee Journal is a great help to me ; I 

 would not be without it as long as I have 

 bees. 



I have 28 colonies all in good condition, 

 and I must thank the Bee Journal for it. 

 White clover is poor here— only 5 or 6 acres 

 within reach of my bees, and that is poor. 

 It is just commencing to blossom now. 

 Basswood looks good here, and we expect a 

 good crop of honey from it.

■Won't Have Half a Crop. 



I have 15 colonies of bees, and we will 

 not have more than half a crop of honey 

 this season on account of the loss of the 

 orange-blossom crop by the freeze we had 

 in February, H, A. Ward.

No Sweet Clover for Kansas. 



I discover that there exists quite a dispo- 

 sition to boom sweet clover. Better ■ watch 

 a little out." Our people regard it as a 

 pendrkins weed. It is reported that a certain 

 Kansas farmer sowed 40 acres, having pur- 

 chased the seed for alfalfa, and the party 

 who sold the seed only escaped a lawsuit 

 by a sudden death. " Haec fabula ducet.'' 

 If you don't want to die in a hurry, don't 

 sell sweet clover seed, nor mixed sweet 

 clover and alfalfa. It appears to be won- 

 derfully hardy, grows along the irrigating 

 ditches, thrives with irrigation, but also 

 grows about as well on the upland where 

 the subsoil is as dry as ashes, and probably 

 has never been penetrated by rain water, 

 or otherwise received a bit of moisture 

 since this section was the ocean's bottom. 

 Nothing will eat sweet clover, either green 

 or when cut for hay. and we do not con- 

 sider it valuable for its nectar. I have 

 heard that stock eat it in Utah, but our cat- 

 tle will sooner eat loco and yucca.
