think of g^etting along with less than 

 two, for when a super is nearly finished 

 it would be a waste of honey to have 

 no other super for the bees to be fill- 

 ing while finishing the first. 



2. I don't know any way that you 

 can work for comb honey and leave 

 the bees for a week without using an 

 entrance-guard or caging the queen, 

 unless you are much more expert than 

 would be necessary to use a queen-cage 

 or entrance-guard.

Aikin's Honey and Wax Separator. 



Aliout three or four years ago 1 conceived 

 the idea of an attachment to wax-extractors 

 to separate the honey and wax. The old way 

 of letting the honey and wax run into one 

 common pan or tank had several objections 

 that I longed to get rid of. and. having solved 

 the problem in a very satisfactory way, I now 

 propose to publish the results of my cogita- 

 tions and experimenting. The device, while 

 having more properly its place with the solar, 

 may be made to answer the same purpose for 

 which it was invented, in connection with 

 wax-extractors of other kinds. I have no ex- 

 tractor but the solar, hence have not used it 



Fig. 1. 



with any other kind, but the principle may be 

 applied 10 others. 



The principle upon which this device works 

 is specific gravity. Honey weighs 13 pounds 

 to the gallon, and water about S pounds. I 

 do not know what is the weight of beeswax, 

 but I Itnow what every apiarist does — that 

 wax is lighter than water. It is immaterial 

 as to the exact proportion, so we will call it S 

 for wax and 12 for honey. 



Fig. 3. 



HNow, suppose you take a cake of wax 3 

 inches thick and put it into a bucket of honey 

 or into a tank where the wax has plenty of 

 room so it does not touch the bucket or tank 

 in any way that will interfere with its float- 

 ing, and the wax will stand one inch above 

 the surface of the honey. You see it is just 

 a matter of weight: two parts of the honey 

 are as heavy as three parts of the wax, hence 

 the wax carries its surface clear aljove the 

 honey, just as a cork fl(.tats a considerable part 

 of its bulk above water. It matters not 

 whether the wax is liquid or solid. It is 

 bound to float just the same. A third of its 

 depth will stand above the honey, and the rest 

 will be submerged. 



Now look at Fig. I. This represents the 

 separator as it appears in a general outline 

 view. This is pUced under the drip as it runs 

 from the pan supporting the mixture of wax 

 iind honey-cappiugs, broken or any kind of 

 comb. The first to How from the melting 

 combs will be honey, dropping into the sep- 

 arator at A, the larger of the two compart- 

 ments. The partition between these compart- 

 ments does not reach i|uiieto the bottom by 

 about '; inch, heuce the honey will pass un- 

 der and rise in both compartuients alike. 



Look at the outh-t for honey, and you will 

 see that it is deeper from the top than the
