FIFTY YEARS AMONG THE BEES 145 



BAIT-SECTIONS. 



Bait-sections are put in enough supers so that the first 

 super put on each hive shall be baited. Generally only one bait- 

 section is in a super, the bait being in the center, and these 

 baited supers are piled in the store-room where it wiU be con- 

 venient to reach them first.

SATISFACTION IN HAVING SUPERS READY. 



There is a feeling of real satisfaction in seeing the larger 

 part of the store-room filled with piles of supers ready to go on 

 the hives. How many times I have counted them and admired 

 the nice even piles reaching to the ceiling! Perhaps I should 

 not appreciate them so much if I had not, years ago, felt the 

 annoyance of running out of sections or foundation right in tlie 

 middle of the honey season, waiting days for it, and the honey 

 wasting.
