Comb Honey for Exhibition.—Combs intended for 
exhibition are objectionable when worked between fence 
separators, because of the wavy or ridged surface ot the 
combs. On the other hand a greater yield may be’secured 
by using these dividers. 
Starters in Sections are also objectionable from the same 
point of view, in that the combs being often finished off 
with drone, or large store cells, have a coarse appearance. 
Full sheets of very thin worker foundation should be used 
in every section, whether intended for the show bench, or as 
the more profitable investment. 
Sections to Hold Sixteen Ounces.—The 43-in. by 44-in. 
by bare 2-in. with flat separators, which may be either single 
or double as designed by the Author; the 44-in. by 44-in. 
by 1#-in. through, with cleated separators; or the latter 
with no dividers. 
The 5-in. by 4-in. by 14-in. with cleated separators, and 
no bee-ways; or the same with no dividers, with bée-ways ; 
and the 5-in. by 4-in. by 13-in. with flat separators, also with 
bee-ways. 
Those tall sections which are only 1gin. through must be 
condemned, as they not only hold considerably less than 
16 ozs., but are non-practical, with the extra thin comb. 
Free Passages to Sections.—The Author was so con- 
vinced that much surplus honey is lost to the bee-keeper by 
the restricted spaces allowed between sections where single 
separators have been used, that he devised a double 
separator (either fence or metal slotted) with jin. between, 
thus allowing double the number of bees to pass more 
quickly. Many thus reach the upper crates without passing 
cover the lower sealed comb surfaces ; consequently there is 
less discoloration from “ travel stain.”
