I FROM MANY FIELDS | 



Cleaning Out Unfinished Sections. 



I have .just been reading Miss Emma Wil- 

 son's directions for getting unfinished sec- 

 tions cleaned out, and have this eritisism to 

 make of her methods: It allows the bees of 

 colonies that have plenty of stores to get as 

 much honey from these unfinished sections as 

 those that are not so well supplied, 



I will tell how I get the work done, and 

 give Miss Wilson the liberty of finding all the 

 fault with the plan she pleases. 



When the supers are taken from the hives 

 the last time, I sort the sections and put the 

 unfinished ones into other supers, and when I 

 have a few supers filled with them I hunt for 

 the colonies that seem to be lightest in stores 

 and place a super filled with sections over
