Carefully feparate and preferve the parts 

 of empty virgin combs by themfelves, for

 drofly, or charged with farina or deadbrood, 

 Jceep apart. 



The fine combs are to be drained and 

 melted by themfelves, as being free from 

 any alloy. They may be mafhed by the 

 hands, and put upon hair fieves, as being 

 pure virgin honey. 



The parts of combs that have brood or 

 farina in them, are to be cut out rather be- 

 yond their extent, to guard againft the 

 chance of cutting among the brood cells. 

 The inferior combs muft have all their de- 

 filed parts cut out, and then be fqueezed over 

 fieVes, or bolting cloths ftretched ever flicks, 

 laid over dripping or other wide pans, &c. 

 and placed at a proper diftance from the fire, 

 or in a room that has one, for the more 

 fpeedy running of the honey. But for 

 greater expedition, in large apiaries prejfes 

 are ufed. The pots of honey mould not be
