THE BEE-KEEPKRS" RKVIEW. 



1S7 



Somewhere, loii<( a.no, t)ut just when 

 and where I camiot remember, I read of 

 some man who followed a plan similar to 

 that described above. The bees were not 

 carried into tlie cellar, imt kept shut in 

 the hive until late in the afternoon, then 

 induced to fly bj- feeding; Ihe nuclei warm 

 honey. To me, the cellar plan looks 

 more feasible; as the long confinement in 

 the cool cellar, so suddenly ended by 

 carrying the bees into light and warmth, 

 would. I should think, lead to an imme- 

 diate flight of workers, drones and virgin 

 (lueens. 



Honey Quotations. 



The following rales for grading honey were 

 adop»e<l by the North American Bee Keepers' 

 Association, at its Wasliington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according 

 to these rnles. 



Fancy.— .\]1 sections to be well filled ; comlis 



traight, of even thicknews. und firmly attached 



to all foar sides; bt>th wood and combnnsoiled 



by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the cells sealed 



except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1.— .\11 sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detacheil at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed ; both wood and 

 comb uusoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 accordingto color, nsing the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be " fancy white," 

 !^o. 1, dark." etc.

nrFF.\I.,0, N. Y. —The honey sea.son may 

 be considered closed for the present. A few 

 stray lots of old honey are selling at from 6 to S 

 cent's. There is no s'trictly fancy here. .\ little 

 would probably bring 11' or 12 cents. Some 

 fancy pure t>eeswax is wanted at al>out 30 cents 

 per pound in small cakes.

May 15. 120 West Broadwaj', New York, 



NEW YORK, N. Y.— Our market has never 

 been in better condition, for handling both hon- 

 ey and wa.x, so far as stock in hand is concerned. 

 We would suggest to .Southern shippers of ex- 

 tracted honey the advisability of letting it come 

 forward. At this writing we have en route sev- 

 eral shipments of new, .Southern extracted. 



Our market has dropped off slightly on wax, 

 although there is a steady demand. 



We do not expect much more trade in comb 

 hoiiej' until the new crop begins to arrive in early 

 fall. We quote as follows : Fancy white, i2!/2 to 

 13U; No. I, white, 1154 to 12; fair vvhite, 9J4 to 10% 

 fancy buckwheat, S to 9; No. 1 buckwheat, 7 to 8; 

 fair isuckwheat, 6'/2 to 7.
