COLOR OF HONEY. 



An inquiry on November 1, 1917, concerning the per cent 

 of surplus honey produced according to color, shows for the 

 United States 42.8 per cent of white honey, 29.5 per cent of 

 light amber, 17.1 per cent of amber, and 10.6 per cent of 

 dark. The details by States are shown in Table IX. The 

 figures of the total per cent of each color, are more accurate 

 than those showing color in detail according to the form of 

 honey produced.
