194 PRODUCTION OF EXTRACTED HONEY 
that a nice trade might be gradually developed for small cubes 
of this candy to sell at a nickel through the retail candy trade. 
Once people came to know the product they would buy it freely, 
if it were available in a five-cent package. 
Once the public is educated to understand that only honey 
of the best quality can be marketed in this form, the bee-keeper 
will find a ready market for candied honey. 
BULK OR CIIUNK HONEY 
In many localities in the Southern States there is a demand 
for bulk or chunk honey. The general principles of producing 
extracted honey will also apply to bulk honey. The foundation 
in the supers need not always be of full sheets, nor should they 
be wired. An empty comb or two in each super will be helpful 
in getting the bees into the new super promptly. When the combs 
are finished they are cut from the frames and new foundation 
is put in for future use. Bulk honey can be produced cheaper 
than section honey, but not as cheaply ax extracted honey, as 
the combs must be built new each time the crop is removed. With 
extracted honey the combs can be used again and again, which 
makes larger production possible under ordinary conditions.
