sible. Where the industry is so limited, it is recommended 

 that the beekeeper produce what is known as section honey, 

 that is, comb honey put up in small neat frames by the bees. 

 This has many advantages for small beekeepers. In the first 

 place, a very attractive as well as a delicious table article is 

 secured. Furthermore, the equipment necessary for the pro- 

 duction of comb honey is not expensive, while the work is 

 clean, simple and light. There are two types of sections in 

 use in these islands, namely, the plain section and the bee- 

 way section. The plain sections are as wide as the ordinary 

 comb of honey is thick, and when in place in the hive are 

 spaced by fences which allow a beeway so that the bees can 

 pass in and out at work- The bee-way sections are a little 

 wider and have the passage for the bees cut in both sides at 

 the top and bottom and while they need no other spacing it 

 is best to keep them apart by the use of some thin material 

 such as strips of zinc or thin pieces of wood. Either section 

 makes a very attractive package when properly filled.
