Crop Report and Market Conditions 



At this season of the year there is so little that can 

 be reported upon that we have not sent out inquiries to 

 reporters as usual. With the opening of spring the mar- 

 ket page will again be taken up in earnest, as it will 

 then be possible to give our readers an idea of how the 

 bees have gone through the winter and of what the flora 

 prospects are for the coming year. 



HONEY 



Honey is so nearly cleaned up that what little is left 

 in the hands of the producers may be considered as a 

 negative quantity. Such as is held in the hands of deal- 

 ers is mostly for the supply of the bottle trade, and most 

 bottlers find that they will not have sufficient to carry 

 them till the new crop. Some are buying Cuban honey 

 already, to mix with what they have left. 



White extracted honey should command not far from 

 20 cents per pound put up in five-gallon cans. Comb 

 honey is even more scarce than extracted. 



CHANGING TO EXTRACTED 



All supply houses note a remarkable change in sales 

 over previous years. The demand for deep and shallow 

 supers and for shallow frames to be used to change 

 comb-honey supers into extracting is large. 



Many beekeepers also are increasing their holdings, 

 or expect to, some even doubling the number of colonies 

 which they had in 1917. 



THE WINTER, SO FAR 



The winter's cold has been unusually prolonged over 

 the north and outdoor wintered bees that were not care- 

 fully packed against the cold and winds are apt to suffer 

 great losses. A warm spell now would be a boon to the 

 outside wintered bees. Those in the cellar seem to be 

 wintering about on an average. 



WATCH FOR STARVATION 



1 I i i pers will (In well tu watch for colonies short of 

 stores just as soon as the first warm days of spring. 

 Many colonies went into winter without an abundance
