second lot was hard and coarse-grained, 

 and nothing at all like the first lot. I 

 didn't understand the cause at first, 

 but after thinking the matter over I 

 decided that the wax that was in the 

 comb honey was what was needed. So 

 I melted it over and added a lump of 

 beeswax, and this time it was soft and 

 pliable like the first lot. With further 

 experiments I found that I could not 

 make this candy with wax and sugar 

 alone, and that I would have to use at 

 least half honey before I could get it 

 to granulate fine enough to suit me. 



This, I think, is the reason why the 

 confectioner likes his honey in the 

 comb. He gets two ingredients in one. 



This may be useful to bee-keepers 

 who at times use candy to feed impov- 

 erished colonies. I find that for winter 

 and early spring feeding it is much 

 better than feeding liquid or diluted 

 honey, as it does not excite the bees.
