In a letter to members the Sioux Honey Association Board of Directors
pass on this information for members that my give non members some
idea of the value of honey at least to the 400+ producers who are
members of the largest honey packing cooperative in the US.
 
The initital advance on the 1998 crop will be $0.35 US for both Sue
Bee Bottlegrade and Aunt Sue Bottlegrade honey pools. The pool #3 and
Special Pool will receive $0.30 US, and the Pool #4 $0.15 US. Beeswax
will bring a $1.00 initital advace. (all US coin & US weights in
pounds)
 
Sue Bee members also receive a $0.07 US per pound March 1 advance on
all 1997 crop honey bringing the advances to $0.55 US for Sue Bee &
Aunt Sue grades, and $0.50 US for Pool 3 and Special Pool honey. Pool
#4 has returned $0.35 US and Beeswax returns so far have been $1.50
US.
 
Members delivered 36,400,000 US pounds of honey from their 1997 crop
and estamated sales to the June 30, 1998 end of fiscal year are
46,000,000 US pounds up from the 42,680,000 US pounds 1996 crop sales.
The increase in sales is said to be in the lower value industural bulk
markets.
