HOW TO PRODUCE COMB HONEY 



the sheet of foundation to the top of the sec- 

 tion box. 



While there are many methods of fastening 

 the foundation to the tops of the section boxes, 

 perhaps the best is the DaL/ Foundation 

 fastener, which works with a slight foot pres- 

 sure, and, with a little heat supplied from the 

 lamp that goes with it, securely fastens the 

 foundation in place. 



The average super case holds about twenty- 

 four of these little sections, and each row of 

 sections is held in place by a section-holder, 

 with bee space fences or spaces between each 

 row to prevent the bees from sticking the 

 combs together, or causing some to bulge. 

 Have no less than three super cases for each 

 hive, and if possible four, and long before the 

 fruit bloom have every super ready to place 

 on the hives. When the brood combs reveal 

 the fact that the colony is gathering new honey 

 from fruit bloom, lift off its lid and on top of 

 the brood body place a super filled with section 

 boxes, and on top of this place the lid.
