many, apiaries right in and about the town, fairly driving Mr. Rood to out- 

 apiaries, and outside interests. I know of no section so thoroughly well stock- 

 ed, (not to say over-stocked), as the section in and about Bradentown. Ask 

 Mr. Rood, he can tell you! As Mr. Clute says, however, one does not have to 

 go far back from the towns to get away from apiaries. Of one thing we feel 

 sure; not half the State of Florida is yet taken up that is now available, and 

 we fully believe, that the coming years are going to increase, rather than 

 lessen, the amount of bee pasturage. Drainage and development projects 

 are only ONE of the factors, that are sure to change conditions, and with 

 them bee-flora as well.

 Beekeepers' Review, 



North Star, Mich., U. S. A. 

 Dear Editor: — 



Note you have listed under "Nat'l 

 Members Having Honey for Sale" a 

 Clover and Basswood Blend from Cu- 

 ba, neither of which grow here to my 

 belief. Misrepresentations, unclean 

 packages and improper ripening and 

 handling as well a doctoring, is all in 

 the world that makes "West Indian'' 

 honey, the most of which is not fit to 

 eat. All of our honeys CAN average 

 as good as American, although dif- 

 ferent. Honey from bees in logs is 

 selling here now at 10c per gallon net 

 to the producer, solely because it is 

 STRAINED, unripe and unclean, as 



well as in many cases, adulterated. No 

 beekeeper in Cuba need complain 

 about prices, if he uses modern hives 

 and proper honest methods. I have 

 never sold any honey for less than 5 

 cents per pound net to me and from 

 that up to better than $2 per gallon, 

 according to the package. I make 

 a specialty of "CAMPANILLA" 

 bianco, ( not Campanula) and can sell 

 more than I can produce to the native 

 at prices named, he knows this FAM- 

 OUS honey and can't be fooled, be- 

 cause of its TOTALLY DIFFERENT 

 flavor, and I let him know I have it. 

 It is not my wish to hurt any brother 

 beekeeper, but to keep him from hurt- 

 ing himself. 



Respectfully, 



D. W. MILLAR.

Chicago, 111. — Very little honey of any kind 

 is selling at the present time. The market 

 however is bare of comb honey, and while we 

 cannot quote prices from sales. No. 1 to 

 fancy would bring 17c to 18c per lb. No pro- 

 ducer should have any comb to carry to next, 

 month with the market in its present condi- 

 tion for it would sell very soon after arrival. 



Extracted is plentiful and slow of sale with 

 the exception of white clover and basswood, 

 which like the comb honey, seems to be ex- 

 hausted and commands 9c per lb., but other 

 white grades can be bought at 7c to 8c per lb. 

 while the ambers can be bought from 5c to 7c 

 per lb. according to kind and quality. Beeswax 

 steady at from 30c to 32c per lb.
