Wliat About llie New Drawn 



Foundation for Section 



Honey ! 



Query 49.— Is it advisable to use in sec- 

 tions foundation with side-walls H, or \ inch 

 high ?— Ml). 



Wm. McEvoy — No. 



Jas. A. Stone — No. 



R. L. Taylor— Query, 



E. France— I think so. 



J. A. Green — I think not. 



P. H. El wood — Yes, if not to heavy 

 and costly. 



W. G. Larrabee— If it does not make 

 more " fishbone," yes. 



A. F. Brown — I could not say, having 

 had DO experience with it. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I have not tried it, 

 but I see no objection if the bees thin it 

 down. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — Certainly, if you can 

 have it about the same weight as natural 

 comb, and it doesn't cost too much. 



Emerson T. Abbott— Ask the fellow 

 who has time to " split hairs." I have 

 been too busy getting a living to find out. 



C. H. Dibbern— Yes, if the honey thus 

 produced Is just as nice as if very thin 

 foundation had been used. Try it, and 

 report. 



J. E. Pond— The matter of high side- 

 walls Is of recent orign, comparatively. 

 If they can be made leaving the septum 

 very thin, I can see no reason why their 

 use will not be advantageous. The only 



trouble that I have heard of as yet In 

 the use of foundation in sections i:?, that 

 it cannot be prest thin enough to com- 

 pare with honey whore thecotnb Is made 

 entirely by the bees. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have never used 

 such foundation, nor seen it. I doubt 

 the propriety of using such foundation 

 in sections. 



Dr. J. P. II. Brown — I have no ex- 

 perience with J<-inoh side-wall founda- 

 tion. It might prove very satisfactory. 

 But until I know this, I will use and be 

 satisfied with foundation of less preten- 

 tious side-walls. 



Mrs. L. Ilajrisou — We sell our honey 

 in a home market, and use only small 

 starters of foundation in the sections at 

 the top. Our honey has the reputation 

 of tender comb, and we will not risk in- 

 juring it by its use in the way mentioned. 



G. W. Daraarae — It will require care- 

 ful experimenting along this line before 

 your question is answered in a practical 

 way. I do not think it " advisable " to 

 use anything but very thin starters till a 

 thorough test is made as to the practi- 

 cability of using deep-cell starters. 



G. M. Doolittle— Why not, if it is ad- 

 visable to use any kind of foundation ? 

 There has not been a word said against 

 foundation with side-walls from 3/16 

 to ^ inch high, but what would apply 

 with equal force to any of the founda- 

 tion now before the public, or that of 

 the past. 



Eugene Secor— That will have to ba 

 answered by experiment. If foundation 

 with side-walls % inch high can be 

 manufactured weighing no more per 

 square foot than the thin foundation 

 now in use, and if it can be sold at 

 about the same price, I think it will he 

 found of practical value. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — It is not the hight 

 of the side-walls that is to be considered, 

 but the thickness, and It is possible that 

 if the side-walls are made as thin by 

 toachinery as the bees make them, that 

 it would not be advisable to use it ; but 

 the matter can only be settled by trying 

 such foundation.
