Report of the Proceedings OF THE Twenty-Sixth Annual Convention OF THE North Ainericaii Bee-Keepers' Association, HELD AT TORONTO, Ont., Sept. 4, 5 and 6, 1895. W. Z. HUTCHINSON, SEC. (Continued from page 599.) Selling: Honey. At the first eveniug session Mr. Meyer, a grocery mer- chant of Toronto, gave a short history of his experience in building up a trade in honey. He had found it necessary to do a great deal of educational work in getting people to buy honey. It was necessary to talk to people and call their at- tention to the honey. If poor people could not afford to buy butter, they were advised to get honey. Customers fear adul- teration. The fact that extracted honey is cheaper than comb honey leads people to think it must be adulterated. During the last year he had retailed four or five tons of honey. A. E. Hoshal—I have sent a great deal of honey to this market, and found that it must be first-class. There is no use in trying to palm off second grades. Better send that some- where else—down to Quebec, or some other place. Allen Pringle—I must protest against the use of the words "palming off" in speaking of disposing of second-grade honey. Buckwheat honey is good, pure honey, and we ought not to call it " poor ; Don't say we " palm it ; Mr. Hoshal— It is often gathered late, and is not then thoroughly ripened. It may then be "poor stuff'." J. K. Darling—Buckwheat is all sealed over and is thick. It can scarcely be thrown out with the extractor. Wm. Couse—The one great thing necessary in selling honey is cleanliness. Mr. Moyer keeps his place exceedingly clean and neat, and it is a great aid to him in bulling up his trade. John McArthur—I have sold a ton of buckwheat honey in Toronto. At our exhibitions we show too much liquid honey and not enough in the candie
