THE WAY \ KltNdN BIKT PILES HIS SUPERS OF COMB HONEY IX HIS HOXEY-HorSE 



IT IS TAKEN FROM THE HIVE. 



fly-specked or dust-covered, each case should 

 be wrapped in paper as shown in the ilhis- 

 tration. 



Just a little pains, a little extra time, com- 

 bined with a little Ijrains. will make a differ- 

 ence of one or two cents per pound on honey 

 — a difference enough to equal anvwhere 

 from $2.00 to $5.00 per carrier. 



LETTING COMB HONEY CURE OR RIPEN AFT- 

 ER IT IS OFF THE HIVE. 



A short time ago there was a little discus- 

 sion on the subject of the storage of comb 



honey immediately after taking it off the 

 hive. J. A. Green showed some very neat 

 storage-cases that provide a large amount of 

 ventilation. Others averred they preferred 

 to pile the supers criss-(;ross one on top of the 

 other as fast they were taken off the hive. 

 Happening to be down to Vernon Burt's 

 apiary I took a peep into his honey-house, 

 and saw how he had his comb honey nicely 

 put away, pending the time when he 'could 

 grade and scrape the sections. I turned the 

 camera on it. and the result is recorded 

 above.
