 question-box will be opened each day, and the ques- 

 tions answered; all are invited to send in questions.

 hibition will be received and properly arranged. It 

 will pay any bee-keeper to go a thousand miles to 

 listen to the discussions by America's most emi- 

 nent apiarists. By hearing and seeing, you will ob- 

 tain much more knowledge than by reading; 500 

 bee-keepers are expected to be in attendance. Re- 

 duced rates of board at hotels have been secured. 

 All are iiivited. W. E. Clark. Pres.

NEBRASKA STATE BEE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. 



Notice is hereby given, that the Nebraska State 

 Bee-Keepers' Association will meet in annual ses- 

 sion at Lincoln, Neb.. Wednesday, Jan. 9, 1884, at 2 

 o'clock p. M., in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, on Tenth 

 street, between O. and P., just east of the Govern- 

 ment Square. 



We have the promise of some eminent apiarists 

 from other States to be with us, and also expect to 

 have one of the largest displays of apiarian supplies 

 ever gathered together in the State. Each person 

 attending is requested to bring something to exhibit 

 or show, to the edification of bee-keepers and others. 



Past members are earnestly requested to renew 

 their membership, and all others cordially invited to 

 come in with us. The ladies having been well rep- 

 resented at our past meetings, we certainly expect 

 a larger attendance this session than ever before. 

 All those not attending will surely miss a good time, 

 for we expect the largest gathering, and also the 

 most enthusiastic meeting of practical bee-keepers 

 ever held west of the Mississippi River. We have 

 succeeded in making very satislactory hotel arrange- 

 ments, two-dollar hotels having offered one-dollar 

 rates. All bee-keepers desiring to attend can obtain 

 certificates entitling them to excursion rates over 

 the B. & M. and U. P. railroads by applying at any 

 time previous to Jan. 6, to M. L. Trester, Secretary 

 Nebraska State Bee-Keepers' Association, Green- 

 wood. Please apply immediately.

Under this head will be inserted, free ot charge, the names or 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing, I would not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on commission. If near home, where 

 you can look after it. i t is often a very good way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your dooryard, with the words, "Honey 

 for Sale, ' ' neatly painted. If wanted bv mail, 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boards saying ' ' Bees and Queens for Sale, ' ' same 

 P'-ice. 



CITY MARKETS. 



New York. — Hone,!/.— Permit us to state, our mar- 

 ket is heavily stocked with comb honej% which has 

 accumulated during the warm season, and prices 

 have yielded a trifle; the present outlook, however, 

 assures us of renewed activitj', particularly in comb 

 honey. The following prices are obtainable: 

 Fancy white-clover in 1-ib. sect's, no glass, 18 @20 

 Fair to good *' " " " " " 16 @17

Dec. 15, 1883. McCaul & Hildreth, 



80 Hudson Street, New York. 



Cleveland — Honey.— Honey continues in very 

 good demand for best white 1-lb. sections, for which 

 18 cts. is readily obtained: 2-lb8. are not so active at 

 16. but still choice lots sell at that. Second quality 

 is dull at 14 to 15. and dark would not bring over 

 12'/^. Extracted is no sale. 



Beeswax scarce, and wanted at 28 cts. 



Dec. 12, 1883. A. C. Kendel, 



115 Ontario St., Cleveland, O. 



Cincinnati.— Honey.— No new feature in the hon- 

 ey market. The demand is improving for extracted 

 honey; but arrivals being plentiful, prices keep low. 

 Arrivals of comb honey are fair, and keep about 

 pace with the demand. It brings 14@18 c. on arrival. 

 Extracted, 7@9 c. There is a good demand for bees- 

 wax at 30@33 c. on arrival. C. P. Muth, 



Dec. 11, 1881. 976 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O. 



Chicago. — Honey. — Market is without special 

 change. Dealers buy enough to supply their imme- 

 diate needs. Few, if any, buy more than will carry 

 them through the week at a time. I quote white 

 comb, 1-lb. sections, at 18@20c; 1^ to 2 lb. sections, 

 same grades. 16@18o. Extracted, steady at 8@10c 

 per lb., according to color, body, and flavor. 



Bees u;a.r.— Yellow, 33c.; medium, 28@30c.; offer- 

 ings small. R. A. Burnett, 



Dec. 10, 1883. 161 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



New York— Honey.— Market is dull, and sales 

 have fallen off to a certain extent. Wholesale deal- 

 ers and jobbers do not buy such large quantities as 

 last year, but purchase small lots to supply the de- 

 mand. However, we quote same as in our last is- 

 sue, but shall probably make a reduction in price 

 soon. Beeswax is very scarce, and in good demand 

 at 33@34c. H. K. & F. B. Thurber & Co., 



Dec. 10, 1883. Reade & Hudson Sts., N. Y. 



Detroit.— Ifoney.— The honey market is not very 

 active, though the demand is steady — prices rang- 

 ing from 18@20 cts. 

 Beeswax, scarce at 30 cts. A. B. Weed, 



Dec. 13, 1883. Detroit, Mich. 



Boston.— Hoiiej/.— Two-lb. sections, 16@18; 1-lb., 

 18@20c; Extracted, 10c. Blake & Ripley, 



Dec. 10, 18:3. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



We have 1000 lbs. clover and basswood honey, for 

 which 1 will take 10c per lb. delivered on board cars 

 here, barrels thrown in. F. W. Stevens.

 barrels of 300 to 500 lbs. each.
