If the bees are worked for sections only it will not be 
necessary to have an extractor. The hive can also be made 
at home at small cost by anyone with a little mechanical ability. 
The veil can also be made cheaply at home. A makeshift bottle- 
feeder as described is quite successful. After a stock is once 
well established increase can be made without further cost for 
bees. After establishment the average profit is 20s. per stock.
