ROGERSVILLE, CRNESEE CO., MICH., 



ESIRES to brietly outline the contents of his lit- 

 tle book, 



"THE PRODUCTION OF COMB HONEY." 



The " Introduction " gives a concise sketch of the 

 author's eAjjerienee in producing comb honey, and 

 explains how the book came to be written. The 

 first chapter, " Securing workers for the harvest," 

 sets forth the advantages of cellar wintering coru- 

 bined with sp) hi{j protection. "Aside from food in 

 abundance, warmtJt is the one great thing needed to 

 jtromote safe, early breeding." The cheapest and 

 best method of securing this is given in detail. Un- 

 der the head of "Supers" the author names his fa- 

 vorite surplus case, and gives reasons for the pi"ef- 

 erence. 



The next topic is that of "Separators," their ad- 

 vantages and disadvantages; the conditions under 

 which they are needed and the methods necessary 

 for their abandonment are briefly told. 



Then " Sections" are taken up; the good and bad 

 qualities of the different kinds are mentioned; the 

 time for putting them on given, and the advantag- 

 es of having them filled with comb, especially in the 

 spring, fully explained. 



The next three pages are devoted to "Tiering- 

 Up," in which the operations of this sj'stem are ex- 

 plicitly described, showing the ease with which it 

 enables a bee-keeper to handle a "honey-shower." 

 Then follow "Hiving swarms on empty combs; 

 Hiving swarms on foundation; and, Hiving swarms 

 on empty frames; " in which the question of profit- 

 ably dispensing with full sheets of foundation in 

 the brood-nest when hiving swarms is made per- 

 fectly clear, and thorough instructions given for its 

 accomplishment. 



"The building of drone-comb."— This appears to 

 have been the great stumbling-stone in the road to 

 success with starters only, hence six pages have 

 been given up to this subject. n'7(y bees build it, 

 is well considered, and the way to prevent its con- 

 struction made plain. The next two pages are used 

 in answering the question, "What shall be used in 

 the sections i'" That is, when shall lt>undation be 

 used ? when combs ':' and when shall the bees be al- 

 lowed to huihl the combs 'i Under the Dead of "Se- 

 cretion and utilization of wa,\," attention is called 

 to the fact that we have been losing a hUj thing by 

 not utilizing the natural wax secretion. Illustra- 

 tions are given, and suggestions made. 



The "Conclusion" requests "the freest of criti- 

 cism," and cautions all not to adoiJt the methods 

 advised upon too large a scale at first.
