CHICAGO. 1 LI,., J uiie / .—We have our usual 

 dull seaion which we look forward to and ex- 

 pect. Ilouey is entirely forgotten durinjr the 

 monthe of June. July and August. The mar- 

 ket is pretty well cleaned up of all grades of 

 boney. so the prospects are encourag-in^ for 

 the coming season. We are getting I3@l4e. 

 for light comb. J. A. L. 



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

 ing some inquiries for comb honey, and ex- 

 pect our flrst receipts of fancy while to sell

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

 10@13c.. depending upon condition. White 

 extracted, C@7c., depending tjpon flavor;

 ana we have sold same at 1.5c. There is also 

 sale for the darker grades at 8@1 2c. Extract- 

 ed, 5@7c.. according to quality, flavor and 

 color. Beeswax. 25@27c. R. A. B. &. Co. 



CINCINNATI. O.. Aug. 7.— Demand is live- 

 ly for new extracted and comb honey, all old 

 honey being closed out. Arrivals are fair but 

 insufficient for the demand. Comb honey 

 brings 14@15c. for choice white. Extracted, 

 4@7c. 



Beeswax is in good demand at20@36c. for 

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

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@13c. Extracted, 4^@6c. 



Beeswax is still declining. The adulteration 

 of beeswax has demoralized our market this 

 soring, and has hurt our sales considerable. 

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



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

 about bare of comb honey and there is no de- 

 mand at the present. The market is quiet on 

 extracted. Demand is limited, with plenty of 

 supply arriving to meet the demands and 

 more. Wequole; California, G®614c.: South- 

 ern, choice, 60@6.5c. per gallon; common, ,50 

 @5.5c. per gallon. Beeswax is declining and 

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

notice the stem which holds the flower en- 

 larging, and in this little stem the seed 

 forms. The main branch grows a little 

 higher, and another blossom sets out, and 

 so on, until the branch is l.S inches long, all 

 filled with pods, each pod having held a 

 blossom for some time. 



Now it occurs to me that radishes could 

 be planted with profit; first, the tender 

 radish for table use ; second, flowers for the 

 bees; third, seed to plant again, or sell to 

 the seedmen. A large piece of ground 

 could be planted, and in planting more 

 every three weeks, we could have almost 

 a continual bloom through the season. 



Will the bee-keepers please give us a little 

 light on radish bloom ? How much nectar 

 does it supply ? What is the quality of the 

 honey ? Clay C. Cox. 



Palouse, Wash., July 18. 



Meager Honey Crop— Motherwort. 



The honey crop here will be very meager 

 this season. White clover is all dried up, 

 basswood bloom is over, and no honey in 

 he surplus-boxes yet. 



I send a piece of plant which I would like 

 to know the name of. I believe that it 

 secretes considerable nectar, as bees are 

 working on it all day. It grows in waste- 

 places. Geo. H. Pitman. 



Lake Villa, 111., July 10. 



It is LeoJinriis Caydiaca, common mother- 

 wort. In speaking of this and other plants 

 of the same family. Prof. Cook, in his 

 "Bee-Keepers' Guide," says this: 



All furnish nice white honey, remain in 

 bloom a long time, and are very desirable, 

 as they are in bloom in the honey-dearth 

 of July and August. They, like many 

 others of the mint family, are thronged 

 with bees during the season of bloom.

This famous strain of Yellow-Banded Bees 

 are giving satisfaction where they have been 

 introduced. 1 have had tnis strain in my api- 

 ary six years, and never have had a swarm of 

 bees from them. And in the particular colo- 

 ny from which I am rearing Queens. I have 

 never received a sting. Every subscriber to 

 the American Bee Jonrnal can obtain one 

 Warranted Queen by remitting 75 cts. Or

 the finest " Adel '' Queens.

 Mr. H. Alley: The best queen I have 

 came from you. The colony has stored 119 

 pounds comb honey from fruit bloom and 

 crimson clover. White clover is a complete 

 failure. J. Colbv Smith.
