Honey Quotations 



The following rules for gradinc honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, at the Washington meeting, and, so tar 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 "iancy 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 -Market firm on both honey and 

 wax are as follows: Fancy white S3. 25 per case. 

 No. 1 white S3. 00 per case, white extracted 7 !/2 cts. 

 Amber extracted 7 cts., dark exti acted 5 cts., bees- 

 wax 25 cts.

R. A. BURNETT & CO, 

 Chicago, 111., Nov. 7, 07. 1 99 S. Water St 



NEW YORK— There is gocd demand for comb 

 honey; all grades; also for extracted. We think 

 prices are at top notch, and would not advise bee- 

 keepers in holding back their honey any longer. We 

 quote as follows; 



Fancy white 17 cts.. No. 1 white 1 5 to 16 cts., 

 fancy amber 14 cts., No. 1 amber 13 cts., fancy 

 dark 13 cts.. No. 1 dark 12 cts., white extracted 9

TOLEDO— The crop is exceedingly scarce here, 

 but Western honey is coming in, in pretty good 

 quantities, and we are looking for prices to decline 

 some. Producers having this class of goods to 

 market had better sell at the earliest possible mo- 

 ment, as the cold weather is bound to be detrimental 

 to the crop if held much longer. We quote as fol- 

 lows: 



Fancy white 16 to 1 7 cts.. No. 1 white 1 5 to 16 

 cts., fancy amber 14 to 15 cts.. white extracted 7'/i 

 to 8 cts.. amber extracted 554 to 6 cts. Beeswax 

 28 to 30 cts.

 Nov. 8, 1907. Toledo. Ohio. 



CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET-Owine to the 

 unsettled condition of finances throughout the coun- 

 try, causing much uneasiness and anxiety among 

 the buyers, we look forward to seeing honey reach 

 Jower values in the very near future. We areata 



loss to say what prices we will ask in 1 days hence, 

 but, at this writing, we are quoting exti acted am- 

 ber honey in barrels at 6c. to 7'/*c. ; fancy white e;:- 

 tracted, in 601b. cans, at lOc; and strictly fancy 

 white comb honey, (which is moving slowly) at 

 I6'/2C. to 18c., according to the quantity purchased. 

 For choice yellow bees wax, free from dirt, we are 

 paying 30c. per lb., delivered here.

CHICAGO— Before this uncertainty as to the 

 money situation came upon us. we were enjoying a 

 thoroughly active trade on both comb and exti acted 

 honey. The past two weeks, however, trade in the 

 honey line has not been of much consequence, and 

 it goes to show that the public can get along without 

 honey when occasion requires it. Up to November 

 1st, we have handled more comb and extracted 

 honey than we did through the entire season last 

 year, and our stock at the present time is only nor- 

 mal, and with a re action it will be only a question 

 of a short time before we will be entirely out of 

 comb honey. 



We now can offer for prompt shipment both 

 Southern California, light amber extracted honey 

 and fancy Utah water white Alfalfa extracted honey, 

 put up in 601b. cans, 2 cans to the case. We quote 

 as follows: 



Fancy white 1 7 to 18 cts., No. 1 white 16 to 17 

 cts., No. 2 white 13 to 15 cts., off grades corres- 

 pondingly less, while extracted 7tn8cts., amber 

 extracted 5 to 7 cts. Beeswax 28 to 33 cts.

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 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. 



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. 



I am now filling orders by return mail.
