104 THE BOOK OF THE HONEY BEE 



Extracted honey, if not disposed of in bulk, is usually 

 put up in I lb. metal screw-capped glass bottles. Each 

 metal cap contains a wad of cork, and if this be immersed 

 in molten paraffin-wax or bees-wax previous to use, but 

 little fear need be entertained of honey leaking. The 

 whole should be neatly labelled, the label showing clearly 

 the name and address of the producer. 



For sending away honey in bulk, most appliance dealers 

 supply special tins, either round or square, holding from 

 2 lbs. upwards to 56 lbs. The square tins, although 

 more expensive, pack better and take up less room than 

 the round ones.
