 DAMAGED COMBS TO BE REMOVED. 



When the damage is but slight, the affected por- 

 tions of the comb should be pruned out so as to allow 

 the bees to % build new ones. But if bad, then trans- 

 fer the bees into a new hive, and supply them with 

 sound tjombs taken from other hives. For directions, 

 see Chapter on Transferring.
