CHAPTER XV 



MARKETING THE HONEY CROP 



A FTER the surplus honey has been 

 -^-^ gathered, whether it be comb or ex- 

 tracted, its proper grading, packing, and 

 marketing is an important factor, as these 

 things added to the quality of the crop will 

 with a little attention mean the securing of a 

 better price for the output, and whether the 

 crop be large or small, is an item worth con- 

 sidering. 



Where the apiary is of moderate size, there 

 is no better place to sell the crop than right 

 at home or in a near-by town, as the reputa- 

 tion of the beekeeper, supplemented by a 

 high-grade article, will result in high prices. 

 The honey package should be attractive 

 whether it be wholesaled or retailed, and a 

 package a little more attractive than that of 

 the other dealers means increased revenue.
