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. 



KANSAS CITY -The stock of old honey is well 

 cleaned up: and some new is coming in. The de- 

 mand is good at quotations, which are as follows 

 for 24-pound case: No. 1 white S3. 50, No. 1 amber 

 S3. 25, white, extracted Sets, amber, extracted IVio, 

 Beeswax 25 to 28 cts. 



WALKER BREWSTER GRO. CO. 

 Julys. 1907. Kansas City, Mo. 



NEW YORK— There is a fair demand for white 

 amber honey; none for dark. But extracted is in 

 good demand for all grades and supply rather light. 

 Beeswax is rather weakening. We quote as follows: 

 Fancy white 15 cts. No. 1 white 14 cts, fancy am- 

 ber 12 cts. No. 1 amber 1 1 cts, white, extracted 8 

 to 8!^ cts, amber extracted, 7 to 7H cts, dark, ex- 

 tracted 6 to 6 54 cts. Beeswax 30 to 31 cts, 



HILDRETH & SEGELKEN 

 July 8, 1907. 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 8'3, and light amber 6'+ to 

 TVi. 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 back to the bees of this section.

CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET— The demand 

 for extracted honey does not come up to expecta- 

 tions, which is probably due to the lateness of the 

 season. Quotations range about the same as re- 

 cently published. Amber in barrels at 5!4c. to 6)40 

 according to the quality. Fancy white extracted 

 honey, in crates of two, 60-lb cans, at 9c. 



As yet, there is no new comb honey on the market. 



We are paying 28c. per lb. in cash, and 30c. in 

 trade, delivered here, for choice yellow bees wax 

 free from dirt.

CHICAGO-Very little honey of the yield of 1907 

 has come on this market. What there has in the 

 way of white comb has sold readily at 16c. per lb. 

 There is no call for other grades at the present time. 

 Very little demand for extracted, and a tendency to 

 not take it at over 7c. for the best grades of White. 

 Beeswax continues to sell well at 32c. 



R. A. BURNETT & CO, 

 Chicago, 111., July 8. 07. 1 99 S. Water Sf 



TOLEDO-The market here is about cleaned up of 

 fancy honey, and very little is being offered, and 

 not so much demand as is usual at this time of the 

 year. There is more demand for extracted. 



We should be glad to hear from those having ex- 

 tracted to sell. We quote as follows : Fancy white, 

 17c to 18c: No. 1 white, 16c to 17c; fancy amber, 

 1 5c; white, extracted, 7 J4c to 8c; amber, 7c to 7Jic. 

 Beeswax, 30c to 32c. 



THE GRIGGS BROS. & NICHOLS CO., 

 March 5, 1907. Toledo, Ohio. 



CHICAGO— We have had a number of inquiries 

 for new comb honey, but our market is entirely 

 cleaned up on old stock and no new arrivals to 

 speak of have as yet been received. Look for a 

 firm and active market on new comb honey on ac- 

 count of scarcity of fruits of all kinds. We quote as 

 follows: Fancy white 16 cts, No. 1 White 15cts, 

 No. 2 white 13 cts, white extracted 6'/4 to IV2 cts, 

 Amber, extracted 5 to 5^ cts. Beeswax 30 to 32c.

QUEENS 



of Moore's Strain of Italians produce 

 workers that 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 1 have never seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long-tongued 

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

 my apiaries .' and the cells are built in strong colon- 

 ies well supplied wkh 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. 



Untested queens, 75 cents each; six, for S4. 00; 

 one dozen, for S7.50. Select untested, SI. 00 

 each; six, S5.00: dozen, S9.U0. Safe arrival and 

 satisfaction guaranteed. Descriptive circular free.
