134 PLEASURABLE BEE-KEEPING. 



tacles. Each frame from which the honey is to be 

 extracted must in such cases be lifted out separately, 

 so that the adhering bees may be returned by a sharp 

 jerk of the frame. Any bees not detached may then 

 be dislodged by a wing or feather, or the Yucca brush. 



Eemoving Sections. 



From a section crate the honey must, as has already 

 been pointed out, be removed carefully to avoid damag- 

 ing the comb. If the crates have been placed upon an 

 adapting board, and removed before much propolis has 

 been used, there will not be much difficulty in getting 

 the sections out without damage. Their removal will 

 be rendered easier if the laths, upon which they rest, 

 have been slightly rubbed over with a little vaseline 

 before putting in the sections. It is certain that there 

 will, at times, be some sections not properly finished. 

 These ought to be placed together and given to a stock 

 requiring more super room, or to any other stock likely 

 to complete the work.
