ounces. Anything lighter in weight than ten ounces goes into the 
“culls.” 
It is good business to enclose each section in a carton (Fig 32) 
for the sake of cleanliness, which is appreciated by most customers, 
and further, the carton provides space for advertising matter.

Marking With Net Weight 
The law of New Jersey, as well as the Federal law, requires that 
each package of honey shall be marked with the net weight of the 
contents. In case of comb honey, which may vary considerably 
within a grade, it is permissible to mark the sections or carton “net 
weight not less than 12 1/2 ounces” for No. 1 grade, and “not less 
than 10 ounces” for No. 2 grade. 
Fumigation 
If damage from the attack of the larva of the wax moth seems 
probable, fumigation by carbon bisulphide will overcome this trouble. 
When using this drug two things should be kept in mind: first, 
that it forms explosive mixtures with the air, but the same care 
that is used in handling gasoline is sufficient to avoid trouble; second, 
the fumes of this drug are heavier than air and tend to settle to 
the bottom of the container. In using this fumigant, first. place 
the super full of sections on a flat surface with a whole newspaper 
beneath to help make an air-tight contact. For one comb honey super 
pour one teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide on the sections, cover with 
a single sheet of newspaper, put on another super, another charge of 
the drug, more paper and so on as high as desired, covering the 
top tightly. This arrangement prevents the effective fumes settling 
to the bottom of the pile and leaving the upper portion without an 
effective charge, as might be the case if the dividing sheets of paper
