Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading Ivjney 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 wtth 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 ^\U be "fancy white," 

 ■ No. I, 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 

 f(^ as much as one htndred dollars. 



KANSAS CITY -Honey is selling here at S3. 60 

 to S3. 75 per box of 24 sections, tor No. 1 white 

 honey. Very truly yours.

TOLEDO— The comb honey market remains quite 

 firm and the demand is equal to the receipts. We 

 are giving, for fancy oomb hone: . 1 6c to 1 7c; extra 

 fancy, 18c; extracted, white clover, in barrels is 

 worth 7c to 7 !4c. . 



We shall be glad to hear from any one having any 

 goods to offer, and can make prompt returns. All 

 goods sent on consignment. Yours Truly

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, Nti. 1 White 15cts, 

 No. 2 white 13 cts, white extracted 6Vi to 7'/4 cts. 

 Amber, extracted 5 to 5!4 cts. Beeswax 30 to 32c.

CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET-Sin«e our last 

 quotation tjiere is no material change in the honey 

 market. With the exception that the demand is a lit- 

 tle better. As yet, prices have not reached that high 

 point that many people believe they will. We re- 

 ceived this week a car load of white comb honey 

 which we are selling at from 15c to 1 6c from the 

 store. This was the first car out of the State of 

 Colorado, and, naturally, commended attention and 

 brought many purchasers. We v/;ll have two more 

 cars to arrive, which will more than satisfy the de- 

 mand, and we look forward to lower prices. 



Extracted honey is moving as lively as can be ex- 

 pected at this season of the year. We quote white 

 clover in barrels and cans at 7c. to 9c., according 

 to the quality. Amber in barrels at 5*4C. to 7c. 



We are paying 30c. per lb. for choice yellow bees 

 wax, free from dirt, and 28c. per lb. for darker 

 grades.

CHICAGO -The receipts of comb honey have 

 been light up to the present time; market is strong at 

 1 6 to 18 cents for No. 1 or fancy grades. The am- 

 ber grades are from three to five cents less, accord- 

 ing to quality, and so forth. Extracted white, eight 

 to nine cents; amber seven to seven and a hakf. 

 Beeewax 32c. Respectfully,

NEW YORK— We are now beginning to receive 

 small shipments of the new crop of white comb 

 honey, but do not expect to have any large lots until 

 a few weeks from now. While the crop is certainly 

 very short in general, there are some sections where 

 there was a larger crop than that of last year; but of 

 course, not enough to offset the shortage in other 

 localities. The quality is reported to be fine. The 

 demand is good. No doubt, white comb honey will 

 find ready sale all through the eariy fall, providing 

 prices are not prohibitive. Let us bear in mind the 

 fact that comb honey is not a necessity, but a lux- 

 ury, and unless people can buy at a certain price 

 they will do without it. This we have experienced 

 more than once heretofore. Fancy stock will find 

 ready sale at 1 6 cts; No. 1 at 1 4 to 15 cts; No. 2 at 

 at 13cts. Prices on dark and buckwheat are not 

 established as yet. The season is very backward, 

 and we do not expect to have any buckwheat until 

 the middle of next month, if then. 



Extracted is in very good demand, and prices are 

 firm. We quote California white sage at 8% to 

 9cts; light amber at 7 to 7*4 cts; choice grades in 

 barrels or kegs at 7 to 7 !4; average common South- 

 ern at 60 to 65 cts., per gallon. 



Beeswax is steady at 30 to 31, according to qual- 

 ify-

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 

 fhy apiaries > and the cells are built in strong colon- 

 ies well supplied with young bees- 



Liberal feeding is practiced whenever there is a 

 scan-city of nectar. The ripe cells are given direst 

 to nuclei. Where the queens hatch and have their 

 freedora until they are ready to mail. 



These are some of the reasons why my queafts 

 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.
