THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Aug. 8, 



course, return the hire to Its old stand as 

 soon as possible. 



I have in each case, except the lastswarm, 

 taken the queen from the hive, as I was 

 more certain to find her. though in one 

 case I should have preferred to have kept 

 the queen in the hive. 



The last swarm I hived at a considerable 

 distance from home, in a small box. and 

 took it home, and as I preferred the queen 

 in the hive. I shook the box in front of 

 the hive, intending to catch the queen 

 in the new colony as she was about to go 

 in. but she eluded me and got into the hive 

 with the others. The next morning I 

 looked through the hive and found the old 

 queen attending to business undisturbed in 

 one side of the hive (she is a full-blood grey 

 Carniolanl. and the other (a 3-banded Ital- 

 ian) enclosed in a ball of bees, nearly all 

 of which were her own breed. The others 

 ■were mixed all through the hive. I res- 

 cued her from the hands of her friends, and 

 put her into a cage and introduced her to 

 another colony. 



The article referred to (on page 45S) 

 showed me that I could safely let both 

 queens into the hive without danger to the 

 united colony : and the above experience 

 shows that I have at least a good chance of 

 saving the queen that I prefer in such cases.

Honey & Beeswai Market Quotations. 



C H ICAGO. III., June 7.— We have our usual 

 dull season which we look forward to and ex- 

 pect. Honey is entirely forgotten during the 

 months of June. July and August. The mar- 

 ket is pretty well cleaned up of all grades of 

 honey, so the prospects are encouraging for 

 the coming season. We are getting 13@14c. 

 for light comb. J. A. L. 



CHICAGO. III.. 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. 

 5H®7c. All good grades of beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. B. &Co. 



CHICAGO, III.. July 30.— We are now hav- 

 ing some inquiries for comb honey, and ex- 

 pect our first receipts of fancy while to sell 

 at 15c. ; No. 1 white will bring 14c.: no trou- 

 ble to sell fancy honey; No. 2 quality sells at 

 10@13c.. depending uoon condition. White 

 extracted, 6@7c., depending upon flavor; 

 dark, 5®6c. S. T. F. & Co. 



CINCINNATI, C, July 8. -There is a good 

 demand for extracted honey at 4®7c.. with a 

 small supply on the market. Demand is fair 

 for choice white comb honey at 3 2®14c. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 25@30c. lor 

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



KANSAS CITT, Mo., July 20.— Old stock of 

 honey well cleaned up. Some new comb on 

 the market. We quote: New comb. No, 1

Beeswax. 22c. C. C. C. & 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. 9@i:?c. Extracted. 4'/4®6c. 



Beeswax is still declining. The adulteration 

 of beeswax has demoralized our market this 

 spring, and has hurt our sales considerable. 

 Price, 25@27c. W, A. S. 



NEW YORK, N. T.. July 6.— The market is 

 about bare of comb honey :ind there is no de- 

 mand at the present. The market is quiet on

 supply arriving to meet the demands and 

 more." Wequote: California, 6®6i4c.; South- 

 ern, choice, 60@65c. per gallon; common, 50 

 @55c. per gallon. Beeswax is declining and 

 selling at from 29@30c. at present, but the
