108 BEGINNER'S BEE BOOK 



combs will be needed. These filled combs of 

 syrup are placed in the hive in the same way 

 that combs of honey or empty combs are given. 



Another method which utilizes equipment 

 that every beekeeper has at hand, is to take an 

 empty super and place on top of the hive. In 

 this empty super is placed a tin pan of syrup 

 and over the syrup a thin cotton cloth is spread. 

 The bees can walk over the cloth and suck the 

 hquid through it with little danger of drown- 

 ing. The super is placed on the hive in the 

 same manner as supers are for the storing of 

 honey and the cover placed over all. Being 

 directly over the cluster there is a minimum 

 danger of starting robbing, as often happens 

 when feed is placed near the entrance. 



There are numerous different kinds of feed- 

 ers on the market and the reader who wishes 

 something different can find them listed in the 

 catalogue of any dealer in supplies.
