Is apparent in combhoney when 

 the Van Deusen, flat - bottom 

 foundation is used. This style 

 of foundation allows the making 

 of a more uniform article, hav- 

 ing a very thin base, with the 

 surplus wax in the side - walls, 

 where it can be utilized by the 

 bees. Then the bees, in chang- 

 ing the base of the cells to the 

 natural shape, work over the 

 wax to a certain extent; and the 

 result is a comb that can scarcely 

 be distinguished from that built 

 wholly by the bees. Being so 

 thin, one pound will fill a large 

 number of sections. 



All the Trouble of wiring 

 brood frames can be avoided by 

 using the Van Deusen wired. 



Send for circular; price list, 

 and samples of foundation.
