Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, at the Washington meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according to these 

 rules ; 



Fancy- All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached to 

 all four sides: both wood and comb unsoiled by 

 travel-stain or otherwise: all the cells sealed except 

 the row of cells next the wood. 



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

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or with but 

 few cells unsealed; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

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

 "No. 1, dark," etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations are 

 those at which the dealers sell to the grocers. From 

 these prices must be deducted freight, cartage and 

 commission— the balance being sent to the shipper. 

 Commission is ten per cent; except that a few deal- 

 ers charge only five per cent, when a shipment sells 

 for as much as one hundred dollars. 



Comb honey is well cleaned up, with the excep- 

 tion of dark and buckwheat for which there is no 

 demand. 



Choice grades of extracted are in fair demand — 

 supply quite large. 



Beeswax firm and wanted. We quote as follows: 

 Fancy white 15 cts.. No. I white 13 to 14 cts., Fancy 

 amber II to 12 cts., White Extracted 8 to 8V2 cts., 

 Amber extracted 7 to 7J/2 cts.. Dark extracted 6 cts. 

 Beeswax 31 to 32 cts. 



HILDRETH & SEGELKEN 

 April 30, '07, New York. 



This market is now entirely cleaned up of good 

 white comb honey, and we solicit shipments which 

 will find ready sale. We are quoting white extract- 

 ed honey at from 7'2 to 8'j, and light amber 6>+ to 

 7^2. We are paying 27 cents for good clean yellow 

 beeswax delivered here. 



The last few weeks we have had several heavy 

 frosts throughout the Rocky Mountain section which 

 has destroyed all fruit bloom and is quite a severe 

 set hack to the bees of this section.

CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET— There is noth- 

 ing new in the honey market, excepting that this 

 part of the country is bare of comb honey; and it is 

 well, for consumers will appreciate the new crop 

 more when it arrives, 



We are selling extracted amber honey in barrels 

 at 5/1? to 6 '2 cts. Fancy table honey, 8^ to 9 cts., 

 in crates of two sixty-pound cans.

 paying 32c. cash, and 35c. in trade delivered here.

QUEENS 



of Moore's Strain of Italians produce 

 workers ttiat fill the supers and are not 

 inclined to swarm. They have won a 

 world-wide reputation for honey gather- 

 ing, hardness, gentleness, etc. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson. Editor of The 

 Bee Keepers" Review, Flint, Mich., says: 



"As workers 1 have never seen them equaled. 

 They seem possessed of a steady, quiet determina- 

 tion that enabled them to lay up surplus ahead of 

 others. Easier bees to handle I have never seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long-tongued 

 three-banded red clover stock (no other race bred in 

 my apiariesi and the cells are built in strong colon- 

 ies well supplied with young bees. 



Liberal feeding is practiced whenever there is a 

 scarcity of nectar. The ripe cells are given direct 

 to nuclei. Where the queens hatch and have their 

 freedom until they are ready to mail. 



These are some of the reasons why my queens 

 have given such good satisfaction. 



Prices for June: Untested queens, SI. 00 each; 

 six, S5.00: dozen, S9.00. Select untested, SI. 25 

 each; six, S6.00; dozen, SI I.UO. Safe arrival and 

 satisfaction guaranteed. Descriptive circular free.
