THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



August 



keeper, who is up-to-date, said at one 

 of the recent meetings of the Philadel- 

 phia Bee-Keepers' Association that he 

 could not understand why the Amer- 

 ican supply manufacturers did not cat- 

 alogue a section which had a great sale 

 in England, and which was manufac- 

 tured and exported by at least one 

 large American concern. He said that 

 the top fourth of the section instead of 

 being in one piece was divided length- 

 wise and each half was provided with 

 a bevelled central cut. In placing sheets 

 of foundation in the sections, one-half 

 of the top was pressed into place, the 

 sheet of wax was then pressed down 

 upon the top with the fingers; the oth- 

 er half of the wood was brought down 

 and secured and this served to fasten 

 the foundation snug and hard without 

 the need of a Daisy or any fastener. 

 He said he guessed the only reason 

 why this form of section was not put 

 on the market was because it would 

 interfere with the sale of foundation 

 fasteners. Not one present at the meet- 

 ing had ever seen such a section but 

 Mr. Hooker, and general surprise was 

 expressed that it was not put on the 

 market.
