VOL. XXVI. DETROIT, MICHIGAN, NOVEMBER 1, 1913 No. 11 



We wish to again call the attention of our correspondents and adver- 

 tisers to the fact that the forms of the Review now close the 20th of the 

 month, instead of the 25th, as heretofore, and that it is necessary that we 

 receive material for the Review during the first ten days of the month, 

 to secure publication in the current numl^er. 



A Super Opener. 



One handy little idea for the comb honey man's shop I saw in the 

 honey house of Willard Foster at Mesa, Colorado, in the Plateau valley. 

 It was simply two 2x4:'s al)out 12 inches long, just long enough to fit in 

 crosswise of an eight-frame comb honey super. 



These two 2x4's were nailed to the work bench perhaps a foot apart, 

 so that after the super follower was removed the super could be set 

 down on top of the 2x4's, the super rim given a sharp tap with the ham- 

 mer, and it would drop do\A'n over the 2x4 's, and the s(;ction holders with 

 the sections would be raised above the edges of the super, where they 

 can quickly be taken apart and the sections of honey scraped. It is ^ 

 simple that it is ridiculous, but I have seen many bee men wrestle with 

 sections, trying to pull them from the super, when by some such simple 

 plan as this all the trouble would be saved. — W. F.
