keeper rarely sees one of these insects. A single moth can

Mr. R. L. Taylor, one of Michigan's most successful 

 bee-keepers, who produces large harvests of comb honey, 



Fig. 113. 



Boardman Cones, 



gives the following points, to be heeded in producing comb- 

 honey : 



1. Bees must winter well. 



2. There must be a goodly amount of honey in the hive 

 in the spring. Bees never prosper on scant rations. 



3. Keep colonies w^arm in spring. 



4. Tier up and leave sections on the hive till just at the 

 close of the season. 



5. When removed, pile the crates of sections one upon 

 another, and keep in a warm room till sold. 



The above are points well worthy consideration, and 

 mav be called the axioms of comb-honey production.
